Before you leave here, sir, you’re going to learn that one of
the most brutal things in the world is your average
nineteenth-year-old American boy.
(Philip Caputo, A Rumor of War)
Can the foot soldier teach anything important about war,
merely for having been there? I think not. He can tell war
stories.
