And I was glad it was over by then.
A
Right.
B
I've never really totally understood what our purpose was over there. Just because, you know, we didn't really do anything when we went over it seems like.
A
Yeah.
B
You know, we, uh, those people that I know, I work with several that were over there, and for some of them it was just kind of, I don't know, not so much a holiday, I guess that's how they tend to talk about it. But that they just kind of lived out in the woods and ever now and then, they'd go and shoot their rifles and then they'd, come back and you know. But that they weren't really allowed to do anything. I, uh, to me it seems like we only went halfway. If even halfway.
A
Yeah, it's funny. Tonight I was, uh, helping my kid with an essay on, uh, Stalin. And I was thinking in the course of talking to him about it, how, uh, in World War Two, the personalties of Stalin, Hitler and Churchill more or less defined the war and actually when you think back on the big events of the war, it was, uh, it was almost a personal struggle among these three, uh, I guess you'd have to call them great men in some sense.
