  5. True War Story Recipe • A true war story is never moral. • A true war story does not instruct. • A true war story is both obscene and evil. • A true war story embarrasses you. • In a true war story, it’s hard to tell what happened from what seemed to happen. • A true war story cannot be believed. • A true war story never seems to end. • A true war story does not generalize. • A true war story makes the stomach believe. • A true war story nothing is ever absolutely true. • A true war story can be told by the questions it makes you ask. • A true war story is never about war.
