Today is a good day to remember the time I told my Jewish grandmother, who had been an officer in the Red Army all through WWII, about the debate over punching Nazis.

"This is trick question," she said, narrowing her eyes. "When you are done punching, Nazi is still alive, yes?"

@evacide wow I had honestly never thought about that. So there are actually two problems with punching a Nazi.

One, as pointed out by Aamer Rahman is that it's only one Nazi.

And the other, as pointed out by your grandmother, is that they're still alive afterwards.
