Fred; um. "Some"? Some? Some?
As for militarism: yes, Germans have a militaristic and intolerant culture. Germans have a historical tendency to consider themselves better than anything else, and fit to rule the world. Which is also why the Germans have instigated quite some wars in Europe, of course, in an attempt to dominate the other peoples living there. "Deutschland über alles" and all that.
I realize that some Germans may not enjoy reading this post, but that does not make the perception I wrote about any less real. And it does also not make the murders committed by German new nazi-members less real either. Nor the homes they burn down; nor the graveyards they destroy.
Germans have always been intolerant and militaristic, and will always continue to be intolerant and militaristic. All the more so because they refuse to learn the lessons from World War II; instead of taking full responsibility they behave as if it was 'an accident,' probably because thinking that makes their own guilt less. That's understandable, but it's not the right course to follow.
That's all my opinion of course. You're free to disagree with it... unlike some people I actually tend to allow people to disagree with me, without getting overly angry. Hmm. Food for thought me thinks.
