WWII vets would comment on it sometimes.
Because on a large ship the net could be so widespread, they told me conversations like this could go on for 30 seconds or so.
"The Captain is a peckerhead."
"You're too nice."
"Ain't nothin' but a dumb f--king hillbilly."
Net collapses.
Or someone would come on and mimic FDR.
"I've been in war!"
"I've been in Eleanor."
"I'll take war."
Gone. Anything to entertain yourself.
