So this reporter is literally interviewing our soldiers as they come down from shooting their rifles over a wall to reload. And he sticks the mic in the face. And I remember the one soldier, he says, it's hell. I just want to go home. Okay, well, that's where you get your war lost in the American living room idea, right?
