With his 15-hour documentary series “The War” about to debut Sunday night on PBS, Ken Burns returned to my show today. We discussed the reaction he’s had from veterans at early screenings across the country, the difference in media coverage of World War II and the Iraq War,
We also talked about the level of national sacrifice that made up the war effort then, in stark contrast to now, when the war is rarely top-of-mind for most Americans and those of us who don’t have family members serving in uniform haven’t really been asked by our leaders to sacrifice anything at all.
Listen to our conversation here.
