Ah, "lore". I thought it was a misprint. :O(

The article seems to touch on that fine line between bravery and madness.

I'd rather see it reserved for Sunday afternoon football amongst
millionaires.

Good yarn, I guess, about a nightmare.

I'm happy for Bill Millen, but I grieve for the nearly 4,400 Allied
troops, and, at least, a similar number of their German counterparts,
who died that day on June 6, 1944. Most had no interest in being there
at all.

Wasn't there a war in there, somewhere, that was supposed to end all
wars? Where have all the flowers gone?
