Ben, from one U.S. Army retiree to another: you dishonor the oath you swore by twisting history to smear your own countrymen. Comparing today’s America to July 1935 Berlin is not just dishonest, it’s dangerous. Our oath was never to a man, a party, or a position. It was to the Constitution of the United States - to defend it against all enemies, foreign and domestic. That includes those who would weaponize fear, rewrite history, and divide Americans with false analogies to Hitler. When you resort to Nazi comparisons, you’ve already abandoned reason and integrity. Honor your oath, Ben. Don’t become the very enemy you swore to defend against.
Korea, Vietnam, and the Cold War
Generals like Ben wanted to surrender.
