Bull Run vs. Iraq

These two stories are very different from eachother although they cover the same sort of topic. In the Bull Run article, it is obviously much longer of an article and goes into great detail of what is going on in both sides, etc. It is comprised of long block paragraphs, wordy story-telling, and boring details. The Iraq article, on the other hand, is written in a very action-packed way so as to draw you into the story and make you feel like you're actually there. I, of course, prefer the more recent article on Iraq, but I clearly have a biased opinion considering it's from my own time period.
