*I* am not surprised that Mr. Martillo has begun to malign another
ethnic/cultural/religious/take-your-pick group. First we preach the
destruction of Islam, now all Germans are Nazis. 

It must be easy to see the world in such distinct black and white:
all Muslims are murderous lunatics who eat their young, all Germans
are anti-semitic aryan supremacists, all Russians are godless
androids, WHO'S NEXT ? The only stereotype we can safely ignore, it
appears, is that all people at MIT have their head screwed on
right. 

The SA, for your information, was hardly a place for people who
even considered criticising the government or the military, it was
a unit perfectly suited for narrow-minded individuals who could be
brought to a deep, irrational hatred of an ethnic group. The less
questions, the better. The less thinking, the better. The blacker
and whiter, the better. THAT, not the questioning of motives and 
actions, is what facilitates facism and barbarism.
