    Part of me just can’t help put this in the frame-of-reference of the Iraq War.

    I’m forced to imagine a bunch of terminally online war geeks clapping and cheering every time the Pentagon announced another big operation in Haditha or a re-occupation of Fallujah.

    Trying to square that with the absolute horror of a war sent my head spinning then. And not much has changed since.
