Soon enough he will meet G-d and I am confident it will get figured out.

Denounce a man of literature for writing a poor poem!
Guenter Grass, by all indications and historical records, was conscripted into the military in which he served all of 2-3 months. What proof is there that he had been an enthusiastic regime loyalist, other than a very impressionable teenager of about 17 years of age at the time? His brief stint in the military, regardless of the type, was not of his choosing. He did not volunteer for that particular effort. The fact that he did become a man of letters of considerable renown does not mean anything? The fact that he spoke out against the politics of war does not matter? He did not assail the country or the culture! He did not condemn or denounce the people, their history, their faith, their language! He expressed an opinon openly and freely about politics and policies, and it is my understanding that such expressions of opposition to those very same policies are also raised within…not just coming from without! Will all of these internal regime opponents also be publicly assailed and denounced and publicly pilloried, or are they merely making use of contitutionally guaranteed rights to speak openly and freely. So where or what is the difference? Just wondering!? I am willing to learn! Please advise!
