John Ringo? Isn't that that neocon freak who glorified the SS in his book "Watch on the Rhine"?John Ringo has a new Alternate/Future history out. It deals with the immediate run up to and the consequences of a Bird Flu pandemic in 2018-2020.
Not half bad, although a tad political.
Might want to check it out!
You're right, I remember. There was an afterword in that book in which Ringo/Kratman defended the glorification. If I remember right they said that most of the SS weren't political (HAHA!) and that the free world, land of the brave etc. pp. should use such methods in the "War on Terror" (tm) to defeat those evil muslims.Not only him but Tom Kratman was responsible for "Watch on the Rhine" book. Ringo I believe moderated the position of the other author Tom Kratman .Tom Kratman had the idea to glorify the SS.

First the author of the book WotR told that the Waffen SS was mostly unpolitical. Only a few were real nazis. And that is a lie. The Waffen SS was the elite of the nazis. Only in the end of WW2 they take everything before you have to proof your loality to the nazi-ideologie.And to be fair to Kartman, he glorified the Waffen SS as a military unit while painting the one unrepentant Nazi as a jerk. The message that, in hard times, you sometimes need hard men, isn't a new one.
Oh one of those guys.Ringo isn't a "neocon". He's a military vet with a libertarian streak and deep distrust of government in general (and a dislike of Hillary that is so hot it could warm a two bedroom home).
We in germany have very hard laws against glorifying the nazis. Guess why.And the book would be cencored.. (Which I dissaprove of, even though I do not favour Nazism, methinks).
From what I've read, Tom Kratman is effing insane. Somebody posted about his newest book, Caliphate, a while ago, and it was the worst piece of Islamaphopic trash I'd ever read. Out of morbid curiosity, I looked at his website. He's apparently like that full time, and all his books basically involve the heroic Westerns committing Genocide against teh evul Muslims, even if it's set on a different planet. Be sure not to criticize him, though, otherwise he'll quote you, along with some sort of demeaning insult about your political or sexual orientation. Really, swear to God.
Having had a cursory look at the episode guide for The Last Centurion, I'm not surprised to see his name alongside that of Kratman.Not only him but Tom Kratman was responsible for "Watch on the Rhine" book.

Those guys really have an obsession with that caliphate thing, don't they?NC-2 "Collateral" The MSM is up to its usual tricks of showing how the only bad people on earth are American soldiers.
NC-3 "Tangled" The Detroit Caliphate has learned from its mujaheddin "brethren" and much of south Detroit is a tangle of IEDs.
Yeah, I guess they're somewhere between The Turner Diaries and Mein Kampf, but to each his own taste.Kratman's a damn good author of rightwing militarywank fiction (my favourite genre). And though his stories are rather political (and fairly one-dimensional in that), they aren't genocide fantasies or Jack Chick tracts.
Well that speaks volumes about you, and not in a good way.overall I can't have a problem with his writings. The themes are interesting as well in his original fictions (Caliphate, Carnifex).

I've read Caliphate, thank you very much. Worst tripe I've ever forced myself to wade through. If you find that drivel interesting, then, to be absolutely frank, you're either even more prejudiced than many of us think you are, or you're terminally naive. And you don't seem the naive kind.Have you even read them? (Rhetorical question; if you had, you wouldn't say that.)
