last piece of evidence comes from a Ted Talk by Janine di Giovanni stated that the things she saw in war even as a reporter were horrifying and she can’t imagine what soldiers go through everyday.

WHEN I WAS TWENTY years of age I went through an evening with Howard Nemerov. He was the main "renowned" writer I had ever met‚ however I would later discover that he was profoundly disillusioned by what he saw to be an absence of admiration from commentators and different artists.
