Captain Phillips and some of the other army men were exchanging old war stories. Captain Franz showed one Art and shared a story about his grandfather, how he led a battalion against a German division during World War I. Through brilliant maneuvres, he defeated them and captured a whole territory. 
After the battle he was presented with a sword bearing the inscription "To Captain Franz for Bravery, Daring and Leadership. World War I. From the Men of Battalion "
Captain Phillips looked at Art and said, "You really don't expect anyone to believe that yarn, do you?" 
Why Captain Phillips said like that?

  Solution : 

   During World War I, of course, nobody knew that a second global conflict would follow closely on the heels of the first, so there was no need to distinguish it as the first of its kind. Initially World War I was referred to the “European War,” 
U.S. newspapers adopted “World War” once America entered the confrontation in 1917. 
On the other side of the Atlantic, meanwhile, Britons preferred “Great War” until the 1940s. And Captain Franz mentioned WORLD WAR I on the sword.
