Unjust

"Alright, you want me to be a Nazi, you got ahead and classify me as a Nazi. You want to hang me, go ahead, you hang me if you think it will raise moral...." -Campbell
"I just want you to know how little we can really do for you." -Wirtanen

In this scene, Campbell is angry at Wirtanen, because no one in the U.S. can know what he has done to contribute to the war. Campbell has sacrificed his life and is left with nothing once he has returned to America. No one can know that he was actually a spy, and the world can only know that he is a broadcaster for Nazi's propaganda. This scene in the movie highlights how Campbell has made a such a big sacrifice for his nation, and yet, his nation refuses to do anything for him. The war highlights how the Nazi's were the ones who would abuse and torment the Jews, but essentially, America has done the same to Campbell. Instead of celebrating how he has aided in the war, no one can even have knowledge of the fact that he was a spy for his nation, and is left to fend for himself. The scene highlights the shortcomings of war and deglorifies it. Typically everyone hears about the heroes that have done amazing things to win the war for their nation, but we forget about the unspoken heroes.

Was it justified for America to not acknowledge Campbell's contribution to the war? Did Campbell truly remain loyal to America when he was with the Nazi's?
