That’s all he would say - he was a WW II vet. Looking back I appreciate that. I would have probably explained to my kids how bad the NAZIs were, told them about the concentration camps, etc.
Why?
Why fill kids head with that? Just let them watch the show.
I watched hogans heroes as a child, and as an adult I understand war. I’m just happy I was allowed to be a kid and watch funny show.
That’s why I appreciated my old man - for letting me be a kid. Maybe at the age of ten (or whatever) I wouldn’t have spoiled it for my kids. I do know that I started pretty early on in teaching them the ways of the real world.
