Bait taken. And it is really sad that it was.

Pgardn,
You are certainly entitled to your comparison with Vietnam and Iraq. Some see the quagmire and continued wasted lives.
I see it a bit differently.
I note the pardons that were given to the Nazis (can we say Scooter?) or perhaps the complicity of the "main stream media" in the selling of a similar debacle? Hmmm...
Good soldiers are good to the end. Even Himmler had the decency to commit suicide rather than face the blame for his actions. Such is the way of the cowards.
