\\\'\\\'\\\"The latter is not to be ignored,\\\" the general admitted. \\\"However, if you bring us in as a unit, we have certain traditions that must be observed.\\\"\\\'\\\'

\\\'\\\'\\\"Anything that\\\'s going to really hurt Fleet Strike politically?\\\" Mike asked. He didn\\\'t really care a lot. Despite the off-putting uniform he found himself warming to the German officer.\\\'\\\'

\\\'\\\'\\\"I think not,\\\" Muehlenkampf replied. \\\"We will have control of who joins our unit. Understand, we will accept any race or religion or ethnicity. We are very open about that.\\\"\\\'\\\'

\\\'\\\'\\\"Even, sorry for asking, Jews?\\\" Mike asked.\\\'\\\'

\\\'\\\'The Generalfeldmarschall actually smiled at that.\\\'\\\'

\\\'\\\'\\\"Herr General, over thirty percent of my people are Jewish.\\\"\\\'\\\'

\\\'\\\'\\\"What?\\\" Mike asked. \\\"Really?\\\"\\\'\\\'

\\\'\\\'\\\"When Israel fell, the survivors were . . . still effectively pariah. There were few countries that could or would accept them. Deutschland still had open ports and was willing, for the guilt if nothing else. Portions of the Israeli Defense Force were evacuated with them. We were the only group willing to integrate them intact.\\\"\\\'\\\'

This section is from \\\'\\\'Eye of the Storm\\\'\\\', one of the three most recent Posleen War novels. Previously, in \\\'\\\'Watch on the Rhine\\\'\\\', an SS Brigade are revived and shown to be mighty warriors who weren\\\'t, as a whole, that keen on the Nazis\\\' whole genocide and racism thing. The SS were political soldiers. They were specifically selected because of racial purity and loyalty to the Nazi Party, and they were responsible for most of the German atrocities of the Second World War.

The site discourages bashing, but it also discourages gushing, and even ignoring matters like writing quality (which is only so-so), I am \\\'\\\'really\\\'\\\' goddamned uncomfortable with describing a series with \\\'\\\'literal Nazi apologism\\\'\\\' as \\\'one of the best works of MilitaryScienceFiction out there\\\'.

to:
Also, the person accusing All Music for having \\\"poor reputation when it comes to metal\\\". Are you serious? It\\\'s one of the most respected music sites around, \\\'\\\'especially\\\'\\\' for the reviews section. So to discredit them just because you disagree with their reviews is rather moot.

Also, 38 percent is a high enough percentage to throw an album on here. I vote to keeping it off the list.
