It becomes a double standard when you think about the literal Nazi generals pretty quick.
These people thought they are saving the world and were usually one of the “sacrifices” by the actual politicians doing all the bloodshed.
They risked their lives and went through hard training just to “protect this country” too.
Yet a bunch of medals and being in the army tells me they aren’t clueless and had an idea of what politicians are actually doing. A good chunk of them even today see it as “just a job I was doing.”
