"Most men would agree that the value of loyalty depends in the object of loyalty. But does the value of courage also depend on what the acts of courage are aimed at? And is the value if honor equally conditional? The bravery of German soldiers who fought for their Fuhrer to the very last may seem meritorious if viewed in a narrow personal perspective as acts of sacrifice and human courage; but seen in a larger context this bravery merely prolonged one of the most criminal of regimes [Hitler's in. WW II]."
