Please explain in your own words what he means by "memory traffic" and how a writer must "pick a street and go for the ride"? Is the memory traffic more about accuracy or feelings and experiences? And what do you think the title of the documentary How to Tell a True War Story is referring to? That is, what does "true" mean? True to war generals, President Nixon, peace activists, veterans? Is the word "true" too complicated to have a single meaning?

we can say that because the text clearly states how the people of the colonies warned the british about their excessive desire to rule over them, without taking into consideration the difficulties their brothers had experienced in america: they struggled to establish the colonies, to adapt to new types of weather, fight with the natives, etc., and how they now see (or then saw) the only way out was to cut all ties with the british, since they ignored the people's petitions.
