Okay, that's fair. And the US is just deporting former camp personnel. But in the context of Schindler's List, where they're pulling people out of their homes, shooting people on the street and in their hospital beds, I doubt you can call that soldiering.

For the first six thousand years of human history that was the definition of being a soldier, and in many countries it continues to be.

Not all German soldiers are evil. Have you guys read All Quiet On the Western Front? Wait a minute, take book takes place in World War I, a war that has no video games or movies based on it.
