""They used to call it the 'Great War'. But I'll be damned if I could tell you what was so 'great' about it. They also called it 'the war to end all wars'...'cause they figured it was so big and awful that the world'd just have to come to its senses and make damn sure we never fought another one ever again. 
That woulda been a helluva nice story.
But the truth's got an ugly way of killin' nice stories.""
