Then take him in Germany, because that's where he did anything that was worth the paper he wrote it on.

Then you must be unaware of the fact that it was a letter from Einstein to FDR that got the Manhattan project moving. It is quite possible that, were it left to advocacy from more obscure scientists, we would not have gotten around to creating the atomic bomb until years later. In which case millions upon millions of US servicemen would have lost their lives in the invasion of Japan -- and quite possibly neither you nor I nor a lot of other people would be around to post right now! Not to mention that the entire Japanese people might be virtually extinct.
It seems to me that using his prestige to avoid that outcome was something extraordinary.
