It's no secret that the U.S. Army has undergone an extreme make-over in the Wermacht style since Vietnam. The helmets, the demeanor, the ROE, (shoot everything that moves curfews, door kicking, etc), their (former) interrogation techniques, even their desert chamo is straight out of the Nazi playbook.

 

The informal stuff, however, the 'tea-bagging, let-the-bodies-hit-the-ground, top-predator" bullshit so popular and encouraged these days is probably uniquely 'American'.

 

Well, the Nazi's could be intimidating. But then again, they were also not very well liked universally. And, in no small part because of that, the rest of the world decided it no longer wanted them around.

 

Our situation is different, of course. We have all the guns, now, the Nazis didn't. Like the Nazi's towards the end of their adventure, we've had much of the blustery wind kicked out of our sails through the predictable failures of our recent foreign campaigns. Unlike the Nazis, the world vaguely remembers us before psychotic paranoia and a unilateral sense of world entitlement took over our national psyche, most particularly during the moron years. They wait, perhaps in vain, perhaps not, for the screaming lunatic to put the gun down and shuffle back to the crumpled remains of his humanity.

Oh, cheer up. There's always the domestic front.
