  That was a cheap trick on Sproat's part.  Without actually coming out and
saying it, he got Scott to say it.  So its cheating, no doubt about it, and
Sproat loses (anyway, I agreed with Scott's take on orders, in case you were
wondering).

   I thought it was just Hitler, so its encompasses all Nazis now?  Has it
always been this way and I just didn't know, or not?

(...) Just to clarify, I was speaking of just citizenry, and everyday life. The military and soldiers is a totally different arena. The military trains you not to feel "bad" about killing people, it is one of your duties, if you are ordered so. (...) (27 years ago, 13-Sep-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
