Well, let's see. WWII ended in '45 and the CYberpapacy book was published in I THINK '92? So, about a 47 year span... let's call it an even 50 to make life easy. So we need a French military adventure from 50 years ago, or 1969-ish, a bit too young to be a French Vietnam vet.

Any which way, I figure the important thing with the senior citizen is that he regularly mumbles that this whole thing is just like Alesia all over again.
