It is about how Americans portrayed the war for them but not the real way it occurred. They speak on war stories as if they were fairy tales, rather than the terrible events they ACTUALLY were. No matter how gruesome, they were told as simple stories. Personally, war is not just a story. In my family, a few of my uncles, as well as my father, were marines. They told me themselves, "War is the real deal." They told me of all the tragedy that happens and how war is portrayed much differently to the public. I felt that I really connected with this article because war is just told as stories and not for what it truly is. Mon, 28 Nov 2016 16:26:48 -0500
