Just follow the thread.
My point is that nobody can really blame individuals, who are protecting their ass, for participating on evil.
We probably both agree there is something wrong with overblown prison system. But we would hardly blame prison guard for participating. Also we would probably agree to punish prison guard who helps prisoner to escape.
Also some innocent civilians died in last Intifada, but nobody is demanding head of soldiers who killed those civilians.

Lets cut all roads to Manhattan and destroy infrastructure every now and than. I am sure everyone will be just fine after 70 years :-)

I would not call even situation I described 'clear cut', and I think you watched far too many movies.

It was prisoners in camps who build crematoria and operated infrastructure. Soldiers were drafted (involuntary) and would get shot for not following orders. Some guards in camp were even Jewish. Nobody pretended anything, they just wanted to live a bit longer.
Just compare it with US prisons or Gaza, everyone is fine with those today.
