All right Hawk, tell me this. It's easy to say you'd not work in such-and-such a place on grounds of personal choice, fine. But if (and I'm not saying this was the case but we all know what Nazi Germany was like) you were told you had to/should work somewhere and that if you didn't it was said, or strongly intimated that suspicion would fall on you, and your house might be raided, friends questioned, all sort of crap said and done about and to you because suddenly you were a potential enemy of the state, would you still turn down the job?
I'm not saying she was under that sort of pressure - maybe she wasn't. But we don't know. The interview that was linked in that article is in German so I can't make head or tail of it. But allowing that she had that sort of choice - basically you're with us or you're against us - would you still be so quick to dump the job?
It's easy to say hell yeah I'd do this that or the other when there are no actual consequences to your decision, your stand, other than losing out on a paycheque. If your liberty/life was at stake would you still make that decision?
