Why is that?
Angela Markel is ruling a country that has restrictions over its armed forces. Her country cannot manufacture, posses, and control over nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons. Germany is bound to use its restricted military force only in accordance with the United Nations Charter. Even up until 1990 Germany was not fully independent country, and restrictions about nuclear weapons, state of the art military technology, and even shear number of troops that can be maintained are still in full force today.

I do not have any reason to suspect Markel’s graceful personality but if someday something terribly goes wrong with her and she wants to continue the mission of Hitler then due to above mentioned facts she would not even dare to talk with anyone about that.
Angela Markel is not a good example.
If you want to take example, then take Russia. If Russian politicians decide to kill all Jews and command their army to kill, then be sure there would be not a single solder who dare to challenge his superior and say to him “fuck you.”
For example, US and UK arms forces have many Muslim soldiers. Their superiors are sending them to Afghanistan (poorest nation on earth) and commanding them to kill Afghan Muslims. None of Muslim solder dare to refuse direct order of his superior. I bet you have good idea about the consequences that a solder may face if he would not only refuse the direct order of his superior but also challenge him by saying “fuck you.”
