Tel you what, go play one of your xbox games with a war time theme and just walk around. Don't pick up a weapon. Just smile at people. Maybe you will win their hearts.

The US has become Nazi Germany - the SS is replaced by the CIA, Obama for Hitler - and the Third Reich by the US hegemony.
No.
If the U.S. ever starts executing people in mass quantities like the Nazis did, then you will have a valid argument.
But as long as that never happens, all you have is sensationalism.
Minus the mass genocide, Nazi Germany and the modern day United States do share something in common, along with every other nation that has ever existed on this planet - ever.
Patronage.
Troops listen to their government no matter what country they're from.
Thats why they're troops.
So by your shaky definition - every civilization that has ever had an army is the same thing as Nazi Germany. Because the army has always listend to what it was told.
Hell, even the countries that were around before Nazi Germany, were Nazi Germany.
What an enigma!

I get no valid debate here, just insults. Imagine if we had just a militia, like the way our forefathers wanted it. There are 19 counties without a true military force and nobody is invading them.
