Dad wasn't a real militaristic kind of guy; he just really felt bad that he wasn't able to fight in World War II on account of his handicap, although they did let him get through the several-hour-long army physical exam before they got to the very last test, which was for vision.
Tata nu era un tip prea militarist, dar îi părea rău că nu putuse lupta în al Doilea Război Mondial din cauza handicapului său, deşi l-au lăsat să treacă examenul fizic al armatei care dura câteva ore, până au ajuns chiar la ultimul test, cel al vederii.
