The movie is more real in so many ways than the life I am leading. No, thatโs not true. I just desperately wish this was only a movie.
Walter Dean MyersI joined the army on my seventeenth birthday, full of the romance of war after having read a lot of World War I British poetry and having seen a lot of post-World War II films. I thought the romantic presentations of war influenced my joining and my presentation of war to my younger siblings.
