50. So are we supposed to ignore historical reference in every case
there are actually similarities?

The OP is specifically talking about the rise of the Brown Shirts and Hitler and what tactics they used.

Military around the world still analyze Rommels tactics during WWII, the US tactics and British tactics. Should we just ignore those too?

Everyone is caught up in the "history is not relevant" theme and prefer to skip over large swaths of history. It is what is it. Don't be fooled just because the folks we are talking about are American citizens does not mean they haven't read about what happened during WWII.
