Re: Brad, of course, was in Europe
I had this exact argument with someone when they were trying to argue that there hadn't been any major wars in Europe since 1945. This was in response to someone commenting that they had married a refugee from a major European conflict where soldiers had literally walked into her home (when she was still a young girl) and simply told them it now belonged to them and if they wanted to remain alive they should leave now.
The war in question? Yugoslavia. His comment? But they weren't in Europe then. I had great pleasure pointing out that everything west of the Urals was actually in Europe and no amount of politics or semantics was ever going to change that fact.
