GR evoking the Vietnam War?

[Dave Monroe]

I look at it this way.  GR was set in WWII, and
written, published during the Vietnam War.  Set in
war, written during a war.  That "Foreword" was
written and published after the Sept. 11th WTC attack,
during/after an invasion of Afghanistan, during a "War
on Terrorism," under the "Patriot Act," on the cusp of
a long-considered invasion of Iraq, et al., about a
novel set during a permanent state of war, prophesying
the Cold War, whilst making reference to WWII.  Et al.

Context.  Historicization.  Whatever.  Thanks ...
