That number is not important. What is important is those who follow the evil ones without question. Those are the real danger to the rest. Much like the reserve police battalions you mentioned. <br /><br />Not many have had to truly face evil. We are not far from the events you are describing.

I say this despite the Marine Corp and University tests that show people generally don't have a problem with it. <br /><br />I know some that wouldn't and I know some that would shoot me in the head without a problem given the right moral figleaf.

Is there some fundamental difference between the German society in the 1930's and the US in 2010 that would prevent a similar outcome here?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604792445866772599.post-1237477153807902822011-02-17T13:07:05.118-05:002011-02-17T13:07:05.118-05:00I agree: reading survival novels is very entertain...I agree: reading survival novels is very entertaining, but to imagine actually surviving in such times, much less saving one's children or loved ones, is a terrifying thought. <br /><br />In general, I believe people are capable of far worse acts than even our imagination can conceive.

The events are true.<br /><br />After I did the research for my Pol Btl. book I was left wondering who the hell could do this? What kind of men could casually kill people at close range, do the other things they did, and then go have a beer? <br novahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02324749633489670413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604792445866772599.post-32137962531865442212011-02-17T10:14:50.827-05:002011-02-17T10:14:50.827-05:00Nova,

Is it both?
