I'd have to side with the German view of this event. |

Wiped away the stain of surrender, but also that of mutiny |

I'm not sure I get the "I kill me before you do" wipes out anything. Because a couple of guys open some valves it means: 1. We really didn't mutiny and refuse to go on a pointless death ride? 2. The military wasn't defeated because they forced the civilian government to go sign an armistice while remaining graveyard silent or fleeing to a foreign country in disguise? 3. We don't have to abide by any foreign agreements signed by cowardly civilians? 4. We pretend that we really didn't lose the war because we were stabbed in the back by (pick scapegoat of choice)? 5. If we tell these fables long enough and loud enough people will believe them? 6. What long term consequences could possibly come from such actions? |
