Quote #7
Half the time you couldn't tell the Good Guys from the Bad Guys and neither could they. (2.3.16)
Funny how the war commentary changes in the aftermath. Now Daisy acknowledges that the lines between good and evil, right and wrong, and winners and losers were never as cut and dry as the British made them seem during the Occupation.
Quote #8
You could ask a thousand people on seven continents what it was all about and you wouldn't get the same answer twice; nobody really knew for sure but you could bet one or more of the following words would crop up: oil, money, land, sanctions, democracy. (2.3.16)
What was this war even about? Why did the Enemy come occupy Britain and (supposedly) start massacring its people? Even once the war has ended, laypeople really have no idea
Quote #9
The tabloids waxed nostalgic for the good old days of WWII, when the enemy all spoke a foreign language and the army went somewhere else to fight. (2.3.16)
Ah, war nostalgia. Interestingly, though, vague though the Enemy remains, here we get an actual clue about who they are: English speakers, unlike in the good old days (read that last bit with all the sarcasm you can muster, please).
