. . . for the collaborators, quislings and sundry other criminals who have not been responsible for not only implementing these crimes, but for the 'good Germans' who actually put the boot in. The guys that did this to other people. Only following orers kinds of people (I believe there is an option in the military for people NOT to do shit that goes against their conscience -- that's a whole different can of worms, the pressure to do bad shit because you'd like like a pussy, or would not be a patriot, or you'd be off the team, or whatever).

Do we forgive them, as the South Africans did, or do we get all vindictive on them?? Me? I'd hate to know that the guy (or woman) living next door was a former prison guard / interrogator / wedding-party bomber or just a jarhead who rained willy-pete on civilians . . .
