Fine article.
Wonder what’s it’s like to not swell with pride and patriotism after reading that. And sorrow for the men lost.
If I ever meet Obama I’ll ask him.
It is indeed a fine article — so fine I couldn’t imagine what in the world it was doing in the New York Times. Then I saw it was in the travel section — so just another far-off romantic destination unconnected to the real world, a place to go and have a nice bottle of wine.
when the Times readers find out that the current band of fascist, American-hating freedom-hating lunatics actually want to ban wine, maybe then they’ll wake up. but probably it’ll take a good deal more than that.
OTOH, “Retreat? Hell, we just got here!” is wonderful, and passing a miracle to find such words printed admiringly in any part of the New York Times.
