9. In Mark Twain's account of a "campaign that failed," his satire is aimed at the _______ of making an adventure appear more glorious than it was.

His satire is aimed at the "hypocrisy" of making an adventure appear more glorious than it was. He is trying to say that there is nothing glorious about war, there is only death and suffering, and it is definitely not a pretty sight.
