It depends on the situation, motive, crime, means, and circumstances to me whether someone should be allowed to redeem themselves. For example: Hitler was a great leader. He helped thousands of people and when he went into office in Germany, he got them out of the world's worst depression, he funded all sorts of programs to help restore the country, and he had an ideal world he wanted to achieve where people wouldn't need to commit crimes. However, his ambitions became warped by drugs and illness, he committed some of the most heinous atrocities to achieve his goal, and his delusions led to human experimentation (which helped the human race in the long run but at the expense of torturing children ect.) So who would you ask if he was redeemable? The Germans he saved from the depression? The countless victims of his delusional ideas? The millions of people saved by the medicine his experiments created? I personally think you have to look at the person they've become in order to decide if they're redeemable. If Hitler had lived, he was too far gone. His doctor had all but lobotomized him and turned him into a fanatic so he would never had been redeemable where as someone like Marco was under the duress of his government to commit atrocious experimentation for the betterment of the world, but he saw it for what it was instead of falling into the delusion and tried to lead a quiet life of helping people. There are a lot of cases where people don't know how to judge someone who killed someone because of the circumstances but they never really look at the person in front of them. Especially child killers. They always think child killers are redeemable but if the child themselves is a terrible person, they are releasing a killer. There's a case of a 12 year old girl who had fun tearing people apart and they keep revisiting her case to see if she can be freed from the phychiatric hospital, but I'm genuinely scared of the day that some idiot says "well, she was only a child" and lets her free into the world. She still to this day writes her murders in graphic details to relive them but plays sweet and innocent whenever she gets re-examined and she even said in an interview that if she were to be released, she most likely would keep killing. On the other hand, there's another case where a boy killed his father that was later found to be his abuser and kidnapper. He was tortured everyday for several years until he had an opportunity and killed his father with all the anger and ferocity of a victim held captive half their life. People at first wanted to prosecute the hell out of him and wanted the death penalty for him, saying he was a vicious killer, but with all the evidence and looking at the scared, shy boy in front of them, he was released and allowed to grow into an amazing young man who dedicates everything he has to make up for his crime and prove he was worth saving. He was recently interviewed to check in and he's going to college, has a gf who praises how he literally couldn't hurt a fly and makes her save insects instead of killing them because he believes no one has the right to take a life for no reason. He's an amazing person to know apparently. All in all, humans are waaaaaay too complex to think in binary terms. Good people are capable of bad and bad people are capable of good if the situation arises and this doesn't even cover mental health, that would be a whole ass essay I don't think anyone wants to read in a comment on an anime 😂 I'm already feeling bad for how much I wrote, but an opportunity to examine humanity and ethics doesn't come to me often so I got a bit too excited. (I'm a wee bit obsessed with studying Anthropology, sociology, philosophy, ect. Especially on the topic of good vs evil) Anyway, I'm hoping someone will comment on this and give their thoughts. I love these types of discussions because we truly don't know the answer even though it seems like it should be as easy as media makes it seem. Good, old fashioned black and white. Oh and I also want to add that because of these types of circumstances that it's woefully unfair and unkind to believe people are incapable of change. Perhaps not always for the better and it definitely requires completely changing a person's entire world view which takes a lot, but everyone has the capacity to change and grow every few years. But it takes at least 5 years of rebuilding their world view in order to achieve complete change of one or two characteristics. There are plenty of racist scoundrels that, once exposed to the humanity of what they fear and helping them understand the other side, that begin to change how they view and treat other races. Just as it is possible to change a kind, understanding person into a monster. Not all racists started out that way. They may have witnessed many crimes, unkindness or been told propaganda to fear and become threatened by the bad apples. A lot of them are coaxed and manipulated into becoming hateful. For a long time I was quite prejudiced against the hispanics in my area because there were many who made the rest look bad by committing crimes left and right and no joke if I saw someone wearing a tank top, had tattoos, and well.. you know the type.. I was dead ass scared out of my wits of them and would run to the other side of the street, ready to call 911 even though they didn't do anything to me. Especially the women in my school terrified me (they were ruthless) but after some exposure and getting to know a few hispanic men and women, I got a better understanding about people in general. I'm now even able to befriend and talk to this lady my moms friends with who has been to prison a lot, covered in gang tattoos head to toe, she looks like she could snap me like a twig if I got on her nerves and it used to be that whenever she asked my mom for a ride somewhere at night, I'd tell mom to keep the car doors locked at the destinations and bring a weapon and stay on the phone.. now that I know her, she's really kind, funny, a wonderful mother who made a lot of mistakes in her life. Everyone's capable of change, but it depends on if they want to and how to go about opening their mind

I think an important think to note is that general soldiers don't get a choice. They are trained to follow orders. They don't get to decide whether they can or can't. Even if they know or think it's wrong, desertion is usually punishable by death. I don't know how many governments have exceptions but most aren't even volunteers but drafted troops. Especially once the initial justification is blurred, it becomes more a we fight to survive situation. I'm sure once Germany began getting surrounded on all sides, even the staunchest non war advocates who didn't flee and or were force drafted for for survival. It's honestly so grey. It's a reason why the higher ups and decision makers are usually held accountable post war rather than the grunts.
