....I haven’t seen any interviews with a veteran looking back with nostalgia at the good times,laughs and comradship in the service...ever been to a WWII reunion?...I have, and the men reminisce with fondness over the good times.....they also respect with honor the terrible times of death and loss...for many men the War was the high point of their lives....my old sergeant major was with Patton and saw his share and had a silver star to prove it, but yet had wonderful stories....example: you could always tell a grizzled veteran infantryman from a green replacement because the seasoned veteran carried a corkscrew....the better to “liberate” French vinyards don’cha know!
....Burn’s approach reminds me of a college in our area that was going to have a 1950s themed dance....the administration canceled it because they said “the 50s weren’t a very good time for blacks”
