I dunno, I think the recycling of Nazis as generic enemies is just testament to the fact that we’d really like to kick the their asses again. They were just such a good enemy. Not morally ambiguous like the current crop of enemies from failed states and petrostates.
NAZIS EVIL, WE KILL THEM, THEY DIE is just so much more attractive than HEY GUYS WE REALLY NEED TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE CULTURAL BACKGROUNDS AND REGIONAL CONFLICTS INVOLVED IN THESE FORMER COLONIAL STATES THAT DON’T HAVE STRONG LEGITIMATE GOVERNMENTS.
