VoteVets: He wants generals like Hitlers - the same ones hanged after Nuremberg

VoteVets
🚨Donald Trump says he wants Generals like Hitler's—let's be clear, those same Generals were tried and sentenced to death for war crimes and crimes against humanity all because of their loyalty to Hitler above all else. This is the kind of control he admires. We cannot allow this man anywhere near power again.

I think gets a bit of a pass on this list, he was part of the plot to kill Hitler and Rommel was known as a brilliant and mostly honorable commander. The story about how his company happened upon a bunch of dead allied troops and he had his own people lay them to rest shows he did have some honor. Just like the German fighter pilot who escorted a busted up US Bomber back to the English line instead of shooting him out the sky.

Yea war is shit, I am totally anti-war, but in the god-awful mess of war sometimes you do see real humanity. Had Rommel survived the war I don't believe he would have been sentenced to death with those other guys.
