U.S. World War II Veteran warns of similarities between today's America and Nazi Germany

by Jack Aiken Lancaster

I am 81 years old and a veteran of World War II. I remember what the Nazi's were doing in Germany very well. Here in America our government is getting dangerously close to acting just like the Nazi's were in Germany and the Germans were doing it for 'better security' as we are doing.

The Germans got more and more paranoid (of their own people) and began watching all Germans and tightened security, and made Germans carry and show identity papers whenever the police and soldiers wanted to see them. They had German kids telling on their parents. It was a horror.

We are starting down the same path. The excuse is that we need to do this to protect our Citizens but the trouble is more and more of our freedoms are going and we are beginning to be like a gigantic outdoor prison.

It is not like the America I love and fought for. I fought for the freedom of Americans and not for a selfish "United States of Corporations" which is more interested in money and power than it is in the People of America.

I don't look and see a kindly Uncle Sam anymore. I see a bullying Big Brother. Sorry to be so blunt but it is how I feel....
