Skeptical about those henchmen really being victims. They knew what they were getting into and who they were working for. They probably deserve it.

I usually like TtDB a lot, but this strip was a bit disappointing. Grant Morrison did a better job in an episode of The Invisibles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Invisibles).
Love the comic anyway :)

I’m with you, Grover. By the implications of this strip we should feel sympathy for all the GOOD Nazis and banzai-yelling Japanese who died in World War Two. After all, they were just doing their patriotic duty when rounding up Jews or bayoneting Filipino babies.
