So in other words, the title and job description match something along the lines of security and guard duties, and rehabilitation of inmates.

Sounds like a state job in government lingo. It could be paralleled I imagine to two state side jobs.

Nothing crazy going on in that post.

Does the 'brutal' on your avatar, represent the general mentality of you Concentration Camp guards, or is it just you personally? Why did you choose that Avatar? I know I certainly wouldn't want to be in a Detention camp being guarded by someone who chooses 'Brutal' as his ATS avatar... kinda brings back memories of the scandal from Guantanamo.

Well, S&F for ya for sticking yourself out there. I personally do not hold your duties against you or any enlisted person, really. They are assigned their jobs pretty much from the get go in Basic. You refuse an order you go to prison. Not much freedom of choice, really.

In reality, the guards have nothing to do with the fact that the prisoners are there. It is not the guards job to determine innocence or guilt. They are there to guard and mke sure that the prisoners are treating humanely and within the confines of whatever law they are observing. Voice your complaints about who is there and why to the officers and intelligence agents in charge.

That being said, what I am curious about is the level of interaction you might have had with the prisoners. Were you allowed to chat with them beyond basic Prison Guard commands?

That's right, the guards are all innocent.

Then why were the Nazi guards of the camps tried as war criminals at Nuremberg?
