and general public weren't the same in WWII as they seem to be today. Imagine the shock those people would be in if they had to cover operations like Iwo Jima, Tarawa, or Omaha Beach where we suffered thousands of casualties, often in a single day.

Imagine how they'd react if they had to cover bombings like Hamburg, Dresden, or Tokyo where tens of thousands of civilians were killed in a single air attack.

Imagine how they would've handled setbacks like the Kasserine Pass or the opening days in the Battle of the Bulge?

When did people come to believe that we could fight a war where no one dies?

It just goes to show once again that our parent's generation was made of sterner stuff.
