Prosecute the 90 year old, but leave the child abusers alone....huh!!!

A 92 year old woman is to be prosecuted for war crimes because for three months she was a nazi radio operator.
People on these forums say she should be prosecuted.

American soldiers look the other way when they see Afghan soldiers sexually abusing children.
Should they too be prosecuted for war crimes? People on these forums think not!

I find it hard to wrap my head around some of the responses I see in these forums.

No. They are under orders from their CO not to interfere .And I wonder from how far up those orders came? Could it be?

I don't find it hard to wrap my head around it at all. It seems about right and what people would do. Weirder things have happened by far on all kinds of subjects.

Cognitive dissonance is the norm in humans, both individually and on a mass scale. I mean a few minutes on this site and others will show you that. And the kicker is...All of this is but a reflection on real life.

Pretty sure that she was following orders as well.
