Some of his enemies either were Nazis or have no problems working for them.
One of the tests a Nazi went through in training during WWII was to raise a puppy who they would grow attached to. They would have this pet for months. At the end the recruits had to kill the puppy by strangling it to death.
If they couldn't do this they were kicked out.
There were probably worse things during the training, as well. They definitely did stuff on a more horrific scale once they joined the ranks.
Oh Major. You have no idea what a normal human being is capable of. Some of the dumbest laws in the world were created out of reason, but not out of morality. Some of the worst crimes were commited not out of insanity, but out of a deep belief that they were right.
If you've read "V for Vendetta", there's a passage where the doctor talks about a psych experiment. In it, a student is ordered to electrocute another person hidden next door. Even though they felt sick in doing it, they kept following orders as the victim screamed. Of course, the screaming victim was never electrocuted. He/she was just pretending. The students who sent the charge weren't sick at all. They just the obeyed the social conditioning of following orders from a higher authority.That was a
real story. You'll find it written in many textbooks. That's just a small example of how messed up normal people are.
Many will even think S.E.A.L. training is inhumane. But it's part of the process of creating tough soldiers.
No sane person would willingly goes along with those activities.
And I beg to differ. Institutions make their own crazy rules to create the people they want. That doesn't make them decent human beings. They just become functional to commit the tasks.
I wouldn't call Bin Laden sane, either.
All religious fanatics are certifiable. Unfortunately, religious people aren't the most rational humans. That's what makes faith blind ignorance.
Who are the rest of your examples? I've heard of Milosevic but don't know much about him other then he was a Russian leader from the 90's. Do you mean Fred Phelps not Phillips? Is Rudolph the Olympic bomber guy? He was definitely crazy.
And yet there are many people like those guys because they sympathize with their beliefs. It took years to catch Rudolf, and the locals sure weren't helping much. That's why guys like the Red Skull can get followers, because they believe too. To them, it wasn't a crazy act, it was justifyable to some hateful, bigoted belief that they are right.
They're worse then serial killers.
You mean Cap's enemies? You bet, which is why he's such a great hero. Society can get rid of Batman's foes. That's not impossible. It didn't take a superhero to get Ed Gein, the Son of Sam, or even arrest the worst crime bosses. Interpol's caught numerous mafia leaders these past few years. In the past two weeks, two huge drug shipments have been caught. We know the weaknesses of today's law enforcement. But come on, even Batman couldn't solve a mystery like the Jon Bennet Ramsey murder.
The harder task is to get people to bravely open their minds, so that fear, hatred, and ignorance doesn't lead to mass destruction.
