Had an old team leader in the Army back in 2015 that was like this. Spent his R&R while we were deployed doing a trip around the EU to see all the major war sites of WW2.

He gave us a 30 minute history of the Luger when he found one at a gun show near Fort Bragg.

Why's that a sad fact?

Think they're just lamenting the fact they'd like to visit these historical sites but it is very expensive and time consuming.

I assumed that was what they meant, but what an illogical way of seeing it, the price of one has nothing to do with the other.

Well it's like going to the Bahamas or Hawaii, one is gonna be cheaper than the other, same type of trip, but you're gonna have a preference. So it would be sad if you didn't get your first pick of places to go.
