I remember, I can still remember Pat when America joined the war . I think it it would have been a different outcome if that had not happened. I remember feeling quite disturbed as we were preparing for the worst.

It is interesting reading the perspective from someone who remembers when it happened.

In those days
People were not innured by years of tv and movies of dreadful things, their heads were filled with the horrors of real things, the shock of knowing what people are willing to do to other people. Maybe the dreadful stuff of our 'entertainment' came about, in fact, because of that shock and horror: an unconscious way to process and prepare for the next real-world dreadfulness. And there is always more of that, too. Ironically, perhaps, some of that is inspired by the madness of the 'entertainment.'
