The sentence from the article that got me the most: "Their promised benefits were not even brought to a vote until 2008, when most of the happy men I saw that day were dead." 55 years after the "promise." The title of the article has the same tension with its content as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_in_the_U.S.A._(song)#Themes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_in_the_U.S.A._(song)#Them... There's also a certain similarity to the reflex reactions to the title overwhelming the perception of the subject of the work.
