It becomes a double standard when you think about the literal Nazi generals pretty quick.
These people thought they are saving the world and were usually one of the "sacrifices" by the actual politicians doing all the bloodshed.
They risked their lives and went through hard training just to "protect this country" too.
Yet a bunch of medals and being in the army tells me they aren't clueless and had an idea of what politicians are actually doing. A good chunk of them even today see it as "just a job I was doing."
In reference to the NAZI generals.. They weren't the sacrificial pawns in the game so much as the brownshirts were.
Brownshirts that today have their parallels in the newly hired ICE agents.
Those agents are thinking they have qualified immunity - but that is only in the case where they do NOT violate any constitutional Amendments when they're arresting people.
Then they're open to prosecution.. and once the current Administration is no longer in power, (I think the healthcare subsidies being killed will be the tipping point, voters gonna get het up when memaw and pawpaw lose their lives because they couldn't afford the doctor anymore..) the snap-back to see the worst of them thrown in jail, is going to be firece.
No way, no how will any politician step in to help them.
