Then let me reclaim that throne: You are wrong when you accuse ALL WW2-German soldiers of being evil and doing wrong (besides the fact that war is always wrong, ofc). Most nazi soldiers were no differnt soldiers than in any army at that time, men given orders by superiors and being forced to execute those orders. The most gruesome nazi shit was done by a relatively small elite. But that doesn't excuse it, ofc. However, you are wrong when you think that the German soldiers fighting at the Normandy coast were "evil" - they had the order to defend the coast line, just like US soldiers had the order to conquer the coast line.

And clearly "they could have just not execute an order" is easier said than done, otherwise we wouldn't have wars even today. And when the alternative to executing an order is being killed by your own superior, that's also a choice that, while not hollywood-style heroic, is absolutely fair. Kill someone else or be killed? You go try make that decision, Darth.

To circle back to Rimuru: He chose to attack these soldiers. He made zero effort of diplomacy. "But they already attacked the town!", yes, so? That happened when the leader was away, so now that Rimuru is back, he could have tried to negotiate. But he doesnt and the only reason is because of a shitty plotdevice outta nowhere aka "yOu CaN rEvIvE dEaD pEoPlE". :/
