(907 posts)Let's talk about those who are lacking in moral fiber, shall we? Decades ago I once chanced upon a book about World War II. I came across a very interesting picture of young men who were assembled in military array. Interestingly enough, they were shirtless; so, their bodies above the waist were on display. These young men had great physiques! Muscular, well-developed, there wasn't an ounce of fat on them! These young men were elite soldiers, weren't they? Of course, that must be it! Well, they were members of a sort of elite group, but . . . but . . . but . . .well, I'm afraid they really weren't soldiers in the conventional sense of the word. Uh, they were members of the Nazi S.S. You know, they were the pride of the Third Reich, the ones who were entrusted with the great responsibility of carrying out the "Final Solution" -- the extermination of the Jews, the Gypsies, gays, and other "undesirables." Mass murderers who made history. Uh, concerning those "lacking in moral fiber," I guess physical appearance isn't everything!
But I must say, speaking as a guy who pumps iron at a health club with the desperate intent to build up his physique, their physiques sure looked great!
