I just want to point out that most people do not realize that a former Vice President almost started a war and split the country in half. His name was Aaron Burr. He was even impeached for treason, but let go. Nonetheless, historians have enough evidence to assume he was a douchehat that wanted his own half of the U.S. He was also almost the president, but missed on a technicality and wound up Vice President to the man who had defeated him.
History. It's one of those things you should care a little about before suggesting that such and such a thing never happens.
Oh, really?

This guy was raring for it for a few years before he tried to actually fucking kill Hitler. I'm pretty sure it says there that he was, dare I say it, in the army. That's resistance, German and don't try that no true Scotsman thing on such a thing as resistance. It doesn't work any better in that context.
