I don’t know. Part of me thinks the kid’s right. He asks what he’s done to deserve this. He wants to stay here, fine. Let’s leave him and go home. But then another part of me thinks, what if by some miracle we stay, then actually make it out of here. Someday we might look back on this and decide that saving Private Ryan was the one decent thing we were able to pull out of this whole godawful, shitty mess.

I just got an invitation through the mails:  
“Your presence requested this evening, it’s formal  
A top hat, a white tie and tails”  
Nothing now could take the wind out of my sails  
Because I’m invited to step out this evening  
With top hat, white tie and tails
