I pit DrDeth

No way! DrDeez would never do such a thing. Oh wait, I must have been having a stroke, that’s exactly something he’d do. In the recent My Lai massacre thread in GD, he dropped a gem turd about the French Foreign Legion recruiting former members of the SS, doing his usual bit of making quoted material italicized instead of using the [quote][/quote] function like a normal human being would, and topping it off by not even linking to where he was quoting from and topping even that off by using as his source a work of fiction.

Even more to the point, the FFL and Nazis had jack and shit to do with the topic of the OP, namely if the My Lai massacre was a unique event by the United States during the War in Vietnam.

When called on this, he of course recognized that it had nothing to do with the OP and apologized for threadjacking. I jest, of course. He went off on a wild tangent about how the author of work of fiction he was quoting from claimed it was a true story, admonishing me for not reading the article. Which of course I had read, and he hadn’t. If he had actually read even his own initial quote from the wiki article, he might have noticed it stating that the authors claim of a battalion sized unit composed entirely of Germans was utter fiction with absolutely no evidence to support it.

Far from realizing from my questioning of what Nazis had to do with the OP that he was hijacking the thread, he needed an official mod note that it was, in fact, a hijack with nothing to do with the OP.
