Thats just ignorant... thats like saying Al qaida represents muslims... sorry but that makes very little sence... |
Okay. Really, let's talk about racism.
It seems to me that people are confusing racism with prejudice and bigotry. They are different things.
And yes men in uniform represent their country. I'm not ignorant on this subject at all. In fact, I'm very well informed, maybe an expert. When you put on that uniform you represent your country. It's that way in the US Army and it was that way in the SS. The only thing I can see that you might disagree with is that the government represents the people.
You'll notice in the part where you deemed it fit to think I was ignorant I listed a chain, I said "the SS was an organization with an agenda within an institution that represented the German people". The SS was an organization, the institution they were a part of was the army and ultimately the government, which I contend represents the people. We could certainly debate what the word "people" means in this context.
A note about the US Army; Since WWII it's been at the cutting edge of erasing racial bias.
And that Al-Qaeda remark... what? They don't represent a government and as far I know they don't have a uniform beyond what they're wearing at the the time. When did the term "Muslim" connote a country.
