Don't talk about personal evaluation
quiet american
Very calm and reveals the true face of war. This kind of objective and introspective writing style is more like Camus or Maugham. Rarely judgmental, but very profound.
Americans are the noisiest, how can they be quiet?
Stop by and support! ,,,! ! ! ! !
