Imagine being a grunt, fighting your way across Europe, knowing about the murders the Germans committed at Malmedy, seeing the concentration camps... and then him asking you to accept those nazis as your brother in arms.

We had no problem bringing them in NATO in 1955.

We had no problems bringing over select Nazis to help in our rocket/missile programs.

Heck, even the Israeli's had some former Germans show them tank tactics.

10 years later, the occupation force was a very different animal. The men who fought the Germans were back home. It’s one thing to ask Elvis in the 50s to interact with Germans. Its another to ask some guy who fought nazis in the Bulge, and saw the death camps to join up with nazis in the same force. There was a lot of hatred that isnt so easy to switch off.
Might as well ask the 1st Marine division to join the NVA in attacking China in 1975. Or our men today to have an ISIS platoon in their rifle company.

It’s a retarded idea.
