It was the longest war in US history, but information was so scarce that schoolteachers we spoke to told us they had trouble explaining to their students what we were doing there, when those students had parents who were fighting and sometimes dying overseas.
미국 역사상 가장 긴 전쟁이었지만 정보가 너무나도 부족해서 교사들은 학생들에게 이를 설명하는 데에  어려움을 겪는다고 토로했습니다. 아이들의 부모님 중 참전하기도 하고 일부 전사한 사람이 있음에도 말이죠.
