Along the way, he hears others talk about past battles such as the Korean Conflict and World War II, but this is Fitzpatrick's world-whether or not he understands it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTalking about the M42 Duster, he doesn't dwell on its role in combat but rather on the experience of maintaining such a fighting machine.
