You may not want one in your house, but if your father had helped to rid the world of that evil, and brought one home as a souvenir of war, you might feel different.

The capture and display of enemy weapons has always been a proof that the enemy was defeated and you may have been there.

The Charge of the Light Brigade was done to prevent the Russians from moving captured British artillery. They charged up the wrong valley.

My dad almost started Patton’s war with the Russians when he tried to buy a Russian Officer’s pistol with a pack of cigarettes. The Russian officer was highly offended.
