The basic questioning went something like...
Boxer, something like..."I wont know, personally, the real cost of this war. My children are too old and my grandchild is too young. You wont, uh, due to immediate family reasons probably realize this either. My question then is whether you have any idea on what the real cost of this war is?"
It's a good question. We saw the results of our leaders viewing war in an entirely distant, narrow, good-news-only when McNamera used that style in the '60s. Wartime leaders should understand what is really going on, good or bad.
This is like when newsfolk were acting like Bill Clinton punched Chris Wallace in the neck or something.
