Quote context

- We let ourselves get sold down the river. We were pushed into war.

- Sure, by the Japs and the Nazis.

- What are you talking about?

- We fought the wrong people, that's all.

- Just read the facts, my friend. Find out for yourself why you had to lose your hands. And then go out and do something about it.
