"What's wrong with the 60s." Bucky wasn't exactly-- fully there when he lived through this time period, but. He didn't think this was a particularly bad time period. It surely beats the 30s and the 40s. Things were really starting to pick up again after the war.
"You know the doctor's not-- entirely wrong. It's a nice town. Nice people." Bucky frowns and lowers his gaze. He'd hate for Arthur to think that the propaganda got to him, but. Look, he can agree that what's happened to them is wrong. They don't belong here. Somebody's probably got some nefarious shit planned for them and this idyllic life they've been plonked down into won't last forever.
Having had 'captivity = bad' drilled into him for all these years, he's hesitant to speak his mind, so he toes the line with some perceptible reluctance. Is it so bad though? If they could have been beamed anywhere they could have been flung into the middle of an intergalactic conflict with no means to fend for themselves. Or in the middle of a genocide, with no food to eat, and no shelter, disease and destitution everywhere they go.
Of course, just because he's been treated so poorly before doesn't mean that anybody gets free rein to do this kind of thing - to anyone. But as far as captors go, whoever's taken them is actually-- not so bad.
