But for the loss of his hands, and the days and months and years of danger, loneliness, aching weariness and ever present dirt and discomfort that went before, he didn’t ask. [ YOU asked that for him, and of him. He took it readily and without complaint. He’s still not complaining and he’s, still not asking anything of you. He’s got a man in the next bed and he’s got the magic word “Bud dy,’’ which sounds corny to civilians but means to a soldier “It might be you asking me, you know.” If his need should require both hands and feet, he can ask the nurse. She’ll take care of him—after she’s taken care of the other 49 men in the ward, and unless she drops in her tracks first. There aren’t enough nurses, you see. Even if nurses are drafted, there won’t be one-half enough to take care of the wounded coming home at the rate of 1,000 a day. By hook or crook, the boys — whose boys? — will get their shots and have their dressings changed, but they won’t get their teeth brushed, nor their hair combed, nor their pillows shifted. Not that it matters, of course. To you, we mean. ... \ It does? Well, then, are you a woman over 20 and under 50? Have you two years’ high school and the stamina to pass a tough six-week tiaining course?
