Another great one from The Atlantic archives: "The Real War: 1939 to 1945" by Paul Fussell. He writes that for World War II veterans, "optimistic publicity and euphemism had rendered their experience so falsely that it would never be readily communicable."

The piece is an effort to communicate it.
