Why I removed the "Elision of WW2" sector-- the editor who included this wrote about how different language versions of "The RSS" has the US captain say either "I didn't know there was a war on" or "I thought the war was over", and automatically infers this is a reference to WW2, when the rest of the story makes it clear that the war in question is a LOCAL conflict(the attempted coup in the fictitious country of Khemed), and the WW2 Mosquito airplanes are explicitly described as being war surplus, i.e., left over from after WW2 was over.

Thus, RSS's storyline does NOT conflict with Calculus Affair's explicit reference to WW2 being over, and the US captain's different remarks could be taken to mean he wasn't aware of the local conflict, or sarcastically referring to WW2, because obviously it had been over for some time.
