It was written at a time when most Americans had no combat experience so it was easy for him to pull the wool over their eyes

Seems like a dumb statement, can you really say there was ever a time where “most” people of a single nation had combat experience? Wars aren’t fought like that.

Because they refuse to read the superior war depiction that is STORM OF STEEL

A bird can't describe how or why he flies, but you can

What an awful analogy

>>15421913
I don't understand the question. With few exceptions the best writers tend to be the ones who led unadventurous lives. It's called imagination, pal, and Crane had it.

>>15421913
Actual war is so horrible that no one wants to talk about it.

This, sounds kinda stupid when you are still growing up, but people write about things they haven't lived all the time. The greatest writers are able to transform the stupid and ordinary into good literature.

Yanks have no idea what war is. It's had no real impact on their society beyond being filmed and repackaged as media or a product. War, for the American, is drama.

I'll take some chai, thanks.

Lmao, name your nationality and I'll tell you when your people have no idea what conflict is either

As if our entire postmodernist culture isn't one big reeling take against the grain of the most American war, wherein nearly as many men died in captivity as were killed in the whole of the Vietnam War.
quoth mccarthy, war was here all along just waiting for it's ultimate practitioner- not just people, but American people.

Storm of steel is brilliant. One of my favourite books on war.

Man it really sucks that you faggots can't even use this board for literature, you have to come here obsessing about a foreign country that doesn' thin of you at all so that you can pretend that there's at least one part of your personality worth using. Go to the /int/ board or something your content sucks and so does your prose, as usual.

yep, its europoor time

>>15426827
Fuck me this is hilarious. Looks like a comic book take on Greek culture, only with less self-awareness.

>>15426827
Mutts love saying europoor but I traveled to 5 states last year and all I saw was poverty. Canada was nice though :)

don't pretend you personally experienced WWII. you are just coping with the fact that your country is a shithole in comparison to America who no one wants to fuck with.
