Finale

Michael Totten: "I met a young Marine named Austin — he did not give me his last name and he wasn't wearing his rank – who grew up in East St. Louis, Illinois. “I'm from a really bad area,” he said. “I didn't even go outside when I was a kid. Fallujah is a lot better.”

Reminds me of Robin Williams in Good Morning Vietnam! where he stops by a bus full of newly-arrived soldiers in Saigon. He asks where they're from...one guy says Cleveland. To which Williams replies:

Cleveland? Vietnam must not be much of a change for you!
