The question I have - and, to be truthful, the PROBLEM I have - is I find it hard to believe that the instant the war was over all those Nazis just POOF! disavowed their Nazism like flicking a light switch, don't you? "We are not Nazis now!! Heil Hit - um, Heil Truman!"

I just don't buy it. My theory? The Nazi "ideals" have slowly infiltrated themselves into the US military and political system. All this control, spying, fear and rhetoric feels like it's right out of the Nazi playbook.
