    When all this is over, you know what I’m going to do? I’m gonna get married, gonna have about six kids. I’ll line ‘em up against the wall and tell them what it was like here in Burma. If they don’t cry, I’ll beat the hell out of ‘em.

    O the orator’s joys!
    To inflate the chest, to roll the thunder of the voice out from the ribs and throat,
    To make the people rage, weep, hate, desire, with yourself,
    To lead America—to quell America with a great tongue.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
