"It has nothing to do directly with defending our country except to help make it worth defending"
That italic part added by the author changed the context in a very meaningful way. Before realizing that was added by author I became more inteeested in that conversation.
Such a wise and thought provoking addition to an otherwise disappointing conversation.
- mcphage 10y ago> That italic part added by the author changed the context in a very meaningful way. "Italics mine" means that the current author (in this case, Brian Gallagher) italicized a portion of the passage to emphasize it, it doesn't meant that they wrote the italicized text. That's still part of Robert Wilson's quote, he actually said that.
