I was in my teens at the time and remember that one quite well
Mostly because the boyfriend's father was in the National Guard and followed what the US termed "The 100 Day War". Thanks to the bf's dad following things closely, I did know that it wasn't all just shooting missiles and did in fact actually involve loads of people on the ground working their assess off while being shot at. (In later years I've become friends with people who were there) I agree, the news is never accurate.
