It does not instruct, nor encourage virtue, nor suggest models of proper human behavior, nor restrain men from doing the things men have always done. If a story seems moral, do not believe it. If at the end of a war story you feel uplifted, or if you feel that some small bit of rectitude has been salvaged from the larger waste, then you have been made the victim of a very old and terrible lie. There is no rectitude whatsoever. There is no virtue. As a first rule of thumb, therefore, you can tell a true war story by its absolute and uncompromising allegiance to obscenity and evil.’]]> 2019-06-19 08:39:54 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/hx4nqk3bv06z/wish/368270853 chrisy_dennis https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/hx4nqk3bv06z/wish/368642406 2019-06-21 13:20:26 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/hx4nqk3bv06z/wish/368642406 Feel like I'm Fixing to Die Rag chrisy_dennis https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/hx4nqk3bv06z/wish/368642432 2019-06-21 13:20:36 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/hx4nqk3bv06z/wish/368642432
