Just don't be a 19 year old prison guard. In any capacity.
Look...I'm not condoning anything that this man (then kid) did, while wearing an SS uniform. I'm just saying that it's highly hypocritical to offer asylum to hundreds of Nazi scientists, many of whom were known to have actively participated in Nazi atrocities, just because they know how to build rockets.

I agree with you, Bill, but since when has the way the world works not been hypocritical with fucked-up priorities?
But regardless, this man gains not one ounce of my sympathy. IL made the comment about him being 'crucified.' Which strikes me as very bizarre to say the least, considering an active member of the SS who guarded one of the most notorious 'prisoner of conscience' camps in Nazi Germany is indeed being martyred here in the name of some vague connections about inefficient law enforcement and illegal immigration. The man is being deported, not crucified. He was able to live a full life in America without being labelled a Nazi. That's pretty fucking great, don't you think? Boo-fucking-hoo.
I'll say it again, folks, find something important to get your panties in a bunch about. This one is hardly worth your time.
