We were watching Paratroopers jump into St Marygleese or something like that. Anyway there was a German Nazi soldier sitting in a wheelchair next to an American Allied soldier. They were both asked "Do you to feel bitter towards each other?" They both responded with "No, because at the time they were just soldiers doing their job. That good guy and bad guy attitude is stuff for the movies and highly innaccurate." That response humbled me.
That's great stuff man. I can't imagine what it must have felt like for those two to sit there and talk to each other

Now I want to go volunteer at a nursing home
