I can see one day an Association of Embedded Veterans, with blazers and cravats. They'll be allowed to march in the Veteran's Day parade. TV documentaries will vie for the last surviving members to tell us like it was. They will ultimately control history through the usual process of attrition, and the academics will scratch their heads wonder how they went around them. S.
