That's the funny but tragic part of it that the minions don't get, because they aren't themselves students of history.... the minions get lined up and shot by their leaders once they're finished with them. When the leaders watch these minions sell out and destroy their neighbors, families, and brethren, do they think these sickening minions will stop if given more power? Hahaha, no, the leaders who control the minions will just destroy the minions once they've served their purpose.

All those who serve the machine of death eventually get destroyed by it themselves.
