The Nazi guard chose to be a Nazi and a guard. No one chooses to be a woman or black and get harassed for who they are and something they can't change. 

 

Plenty of Nazis were Germans who went along with it because that's what everyone else was doing/didn't want to stand out and didn't start out having hardons for gassing people. Originally the concentration camps were just run of the mill political prisoner camps. Then you got the really brutal concentration camps. Then you got the outright extermination camps--the Nazis had to warp themselves over time to be comfortable getting to the point of extermination camps.

 

Meanwhile SHS went in eyes wide open about what she was getting into.

Weird. This is common knowledge. I mean he was blasting McCain his entire primary for getting captured. Calling him a loser and all that. That's just one step away from calling dead service people losers.

Exactly. It almost seems strange how they’re rushing to deny it so strongly. It’s about on par with comments he’s always made. McCain, the Khans, his Vietnam dodging, etc.

This is her trying to cover her ass for the Kim Jong Un thing in her book. She's PRAYING this is enough...:p

 

We shouldn't be joking though this is obviously exactly the same thing as a battered wife cowering before her husband begging him not to hit her over burning the roast.

Sarah Sanders uses false claim (AKA: she lied) to defend Trump after saying her account is actually truthful.

 

Quote

Sanders said in the interview and in a separate video posted to social media that she was in the room while Trump “let a parent know that their son had been killed” — a verbatim talking point from both.....

 

Sanders added in the ABC interview, “At no time, other than that moment, have I seen the president show his heart more, show his vulnerability more than in that time.”

 

Quote

The news of a death is never delivered on the phone.


Each branch of the military has its own protocols for notifying next of kin, but all require a field grade officer of equal or higher grade than the member whose death they are notifying to do so in person. A chaplain or medical personnel is also expected to attend, in person, if possible, but notification is expected to be completed within eight hours of learning about the casualty.


Ms. Sanders said in a text message on Tuesday that the calls she was referring to in the video were condolence calls, not notification calls.

The problem with what Sanders said is not so much how she got it wrong — though that’s still bad — but in how she held it up as evidence of Trump’s support of the military. If the president is such a big backer of troops and sympathetic to the war dead — which was called into question by the Atlantic’s report last week and by subsequent confirmations of Trump’s alleged comments — why the need to exaggerate on this particular point? And that goes double for an interview in which Sanders was pitching herself as the “honest” arbiter of what transpired behind closed doors in the White House.

It’s also particularly remarkable that this came from Sanders, who served as White House press secretary. The best spokespeople will take the truth and massage it in a direction that is favorable to their boss. Sanders went way beyond that — and in a manner that was rather immediately obvious to people who understand how military deaths are handled.

It certainly raises the question: To the extent that Sanders is vouching for Trump’s stance on dead soldiers, how much does she really know? If she truly thinks Trump was informing military families of these deaths, was she actually paying attention?
