Oops! I didn't mean government (I wonder where that came from...). Oh well, you knew what I meant regardless.

tell that to all the survivors, see if they would agree with you. Would you also give hitler, stalin, or mussolini a pass as well?

He wasn't a leader or in any leadership role. He was simply your common run-of-the-mill soldier who did what his government told him to do. Sorry, but I'm not willing to crucify some 80-something year old man for a war which ended approximately 62 years ago. It happened. You can't change it. Let bygones be bygones and focus on the important issues.
