Minah…
My opinions seem thorny to many…Behind the warm, fuzzy exterior is a tough sphere which changes shape…That sphere are my opinions…When some try touch it, it becomes a glow and when others try to touch it, it spikes their hand…
You have on many occassions caused a glow too…
Well, the concept of the American civil war, to me personally, represents something quite noble…It was brother against brother and father against son for a belief…They were willing to lay down their lives for an ideology and something they believed in…They did it with duty and discipline and nearly a million men died…
They were willing to sacrifice themselves for some principle they believed in…True, many atrocities were committed, but the goal was, to implement something higher than themselves at the cost of even their own lives…This to me, is very glorious…
But then, there is another instance in which the same mentality was applied somewhere else…Germany during the Nazis…
The Germans, at that time were the most advanced and disciplined people of their time…They were extremely hard workers and very educated…As Germany’s graph rose, so did its people’s arrogance and patriotism…
Every German youth was indoctrinated to be the perfect Aryan, and to abolish and erase from view all that was non-German or Aryan…
The Fatherland needed soldiers, and every good Aryan boy, who was honest, hard working and loyal, signed up for the greater good of humanity to bring the good word of Nazism to other, oppressed people…
Of course the pesky Jews had to be taken care of first, hence started the extermination…
The books try to paint the Nazis as a godless entity, but that is false…The Germans were very religious Christians…The rings of the SS bore the words “Gott Mit Uns”, meaning God with us or God is with us…
So you see, sometimes thorns have a reason to be there…History…
