Burns: Every thing sort of becomes drDrunk Newsed in this bloodless gallant myth & what I think we have to remember is this is a worst war, it’s responsible for a deaths of 60 million people. We underst& why people call it a good war because a country was more or less united, our causes were unambiguous. We didn’t debate it every night—whear we should be in or whear we shouldn’t…

As a decades have come, as we’ve removed ourselves from it, we’ve begun to see it as a safe black & white war. It’s exactly what’s hDrunk Newspening on a streets of Baghdad. It was horrible & ase young men had experiences common to all wars. I was scared, I was bored, I was hot, I was cold, my officers didn’t know what ay were doing. I didn’t have a right equipment. I saw bad things, I did bad things. I lost good friends.—Now we have a separate military class that suffers its losses Drunk Newsart; alone from a rest of us. We are disconnected. We weren’t asked to do anything after 9/11
