I'm trying to find a quote about how heroes in WW1 become villain in WW2, but i can't find it.

So let's just pretend this comment is saying that quote.

Edit: if i recall correctly, it says that many villain will stay a hero if WW2 didn't happen.

well, in shortage of historical quotes let's substitute that with a batman one

"You either die a hero or you live long enough to become the villain" - Harvey Dent

When in doubt, just attribute it to Winston Churchill. Wait...
