Somehow, I don't think most of them were helping Hitler. They were probably more interested in helping Germany. By your logic, any American who currently feels the occupation of Iraq is wrong should run and help the Iraqi insurgents.

And I don't get why you like Marko Ramius. Sure, the death of his wife was very tragic, but let's face it, if an American Captain lost his wife to incompetence in the American government's health system and the Captain decided to take revenge on the "American State" by taking his Ohio to Russia as a result, Tom Clancy would be blasting him right alongside everyone else.

Marko Ramius is not punishing the Soviet State so much as he's punishing all of the Soviet Union's people for his one wife's death. It is not noble. It is sick.
