And shame on the leaders of the protests, the Feiglins, the<br />

Matars et al for being too dumb to know who they were<br />

fighting. For playing the 'government's' game by the<br />

'government's' rules. Shame on them all for leading their<br />

endangered by the consequences of these pullouts. I got<br />

precisely 6 people to agree to join me. Meanwhile, I received<br />

a lot more letters telling me not to blame the soldiers. They<br />

were only following orders.<br />

Remember the good old days when Jews scoffed at<br />

Germans who claimed they were only following orders? This<br />

army could have stood down, but it behaved as good Nazis<br />
