Like I would imagine that this is the number one challenge when you're mounting these, a world war in 1942, that all kinds of situations on the ground don't match whatever your signals and indicators are giving you in advance and all kinds of resources, including human lives were wasted.

because it's just too hard to get a handle on exactly what's going on on the ground.

So anyway, I'm actually a wealth of knowledge about this stuff, it turns out.

5,000 bodies is so many bodies to move effectively and efficiently.

You know what I mean?

Totally.

Like, that's a whole deal.

And if you're going, like, from land to sea to... I mean... I've talked about this a lot over the years.

And with the technology of the day.

Sure.

I went and traveled for a year when I was 25 in 1992.

And I didn't have a credit card and I didn't have a cell phone.

And my parents didn't know what country I was in.

They could not have found me.

And my goal was to call once a month for 12 months.

So for 29 days in a row, my parents didn't know where I was.

And I didn't really know where I was, you know, and I didn't know where I was going next.

Everyone felt OK.

Because that's all there was.

And so if you think about how many ways things could go wrong with a kid traveling the world with like a paper map and that's it.
