This line comes from Dispatches, Vietnam War correspondent Michael Herr's 1978 memoir:
"[The grunts] would ask you with an emotion whose intensity would shock you to please tell it, because they really did have the feeling that it wasn’t being told for them, that they were going through all this and that somehow no one back in the World knew about it."
If that's not a statement of purpose, I don't know what is.
