It's very important to always put things in their historical contexts. It teaches important lessons about the country in question. ↗

Let's see if we can't get this war behind us now. Certainly, the man in the street, the common person there, wants to have this war behind him. I think a lot of the soldiers are very war-weary too. ↗
