Two years ago today, the Boston Marathon bombing happened and I found this shocking because it seems not so long ago. In section we talked about the Vietnam war and all the tension it caused in America because it was the first televised war in which Americans saw dead soldiers in body bags firsthand. Just two years ago, the Boston Marathon bombing was all over the news when it happened, and we saw the chaos that was filmed. Thinking about this stuns me, if the Vietnam war was never the first televised war, what would be?
