Bacbaoioal ottugglo of tbo nboto who mobo up out •neay's war machine. U. Colonel Philip Co^nm ("Flip CerUn" ol "Terry and the nrotee") said once that our boys, fighting in erery front on the gk^se* hare a sort of "outomatic wont^rfulnen" ^hich stems from their American ba^ground ^ freedom. They do their )ob« he saye» better than their ofpon^ntw beoouse they believe in real things instead of puffed-up sto- ganm. They remember their homes and the free, bc^y lives they led in tbenio and that memory gi^ee them all the in spiration thsy nsed to push the victory to its ultimoto con clusion. With leosons like thAe for fighting, the Amerioem Army doeen't need heel-dicking discipline of die MoM variety. It works best on a middle ipoundo halfway between arrogant Pnisskm formality and the looee orgomisotion of guerilla out- fits. It's the only army in the world' where, deep In the stecon- ing hell of Now Guinoa, a corporal oalled his general over a field phono and soidb “Sir. this is one of your mon. We're out of dgorettee ht five doye now and I thought you didn't know it." And where the generoL answered that he knew it and won trying hard to get some for the men. When i body asked the corporal how he eeroped up the nerve to saake his oalL be replied. 'This is a free Army, Um't it?" That wrm the answer, right there. In our Army, every man knewe his )ob. knows his re lotion to the rest of the Army, knows his rights, but reoUses' that his duties come before them He knows that discipline Mitbmttet^ of (he requeet"s^ UNCLE $MM 'i BuimAv CnjOHNBABNlS Correct Procedure is Time Saver .
