Re: Should German WWII vets be arrested?
Lol, whatever bro. If you think charging someone with murder who had absolutely nothing to do with the murders is a rational policy, then I can't help you. Guilt by association for an entire military base is ridiculous and completely without precedent in US or German history.
I'm glad when I was stationed at Ft. Bragg nobody went on a killing spree, otherwise I might get called up in 60 years that they want to charge me with murder because I was stationed there when it happened.
Oh come on man. Every case is different. You know perfectly well that in every crime perpetrated by numerous individuals that there are always degrees of guilt.
Was every one who was involved in the My Lai massacre guilty? Of course not. Every case has to be looked at individually.
Just as every case on this subject needs to be looked at individually.
AND...
'I don't care how long it has been or what pressure's they were under...if there is enough evidence to bring these people to trial...it should be done. And if they are convicted, they should be given - imo - the full punsihment that the law demands and the judge/jury ask for.'
It is where I stand on this and NOTHING you say will probably change that.
Maybe you like going around and around issues with each side manned by a person who has ZERO chance of changing their minds...I do not. Sounds like a gigantic waste of time.
I said let's agree to disagree...but you just won't let it go. So I will.
I am done here with you on this subject for now.
Good day.
