If you're so strongly affected by what the Nazis did, then why do you support a far right regime which wants one-party rule, which uses scapegoating and supression of the press and which invades other countries based on trumped up BS? Bushies may not be in the same league as Nazis, but Hitler would be proud of Abu Graiab and Goebbels would be very proud of Karl Rove's dirty tricks and propaganda campaigns. I'm sure Rove has studied Goebbels carefully. Goebbels said "if you repeat the big lie enough times it becomes true". Which is exactly what Bushies have been doing for years, using the Hannity-Limbaugh-etc. echo chamber to deceive middle America and get them to vote against their own ideals and interests.

I don't mean to disparage what your daddy did in WWII. I believe he probably didn't liberate the concentration camps. I say this because by the time the Allies got into Germany, the German soldiers had already deserted the concentration camps and no one was guarding those camps. In many instances the "liberators" were free to walk in without firing a shot! Unless, of course, they fired shots for the heck of it and to break the eerie silence of the place and to assure themselves they are in power! There is another explanation for the "mounds" of ash your old man saw. Don't forget that very many Jews died of typhus and other diseases and of starvation caused by disruption/stoppage of food supplies as a consequence of massive bombing by the Allies which rendered transportation impossible. Now understand this: as the Germans have a penchant for maintaining hygienic conditions (this all the more urgent for their own survival), it was imperative for them to dispose of dead corpses cleanly and expeditiously. The obvious solution was to cremate the bodies. Had your daddy and others been a couple of days or more late in entering those camps, perhaps the mounds of putrefying bodies would have been hygienically disposed of, and he would have been spared the ignominy of seeing and smelling all that putrefaction and of having had some drops of dead men's fluids splashed on his person! No wonder his unfortunate experience haunted him all his life. So, you see, in a way, it was partly your daddy's fault in having been over-eager or even worse, reckless. I suppose you were not yet in your daddy' balls when he "liberated" those camps. Else you would be as emotional about it all as your daddy was, eh? .
