Ryan currently is a teacher of English com position at St. Thomas' college. St. Paul, Minn., and rubs elbows daily with the generation now coming into the Armed Forces. Lt. Ryan was commissioned in October 1944 and was a platoon leader on Iwo Jima with the 2lst Marines until wounded in the chest. He holds two Purple Heart awards, the Good Conduct medal. Presi dential Unit citation and Navy unit citation ribbons. He obtained a master's degree from Northwestern Univer sity in 1946. We are reprinting his Marine Gazette article for its campus interest. Ed.) by 1st Lt. Lawrence V. Ryan The most disconcertipg thing about our present defense effort is that, in theory, everyone hates Communist aggression and wants forces raised to check its advance, but practically no one wants to share in the task himself. Nobody wants to get down in the sand and mud and grapple with the enemy. There appears to be the naive belief among many Americans that if the need arises, the job will be done by some phantom army that will spring up, as if by magic, and instantly overwhelm the foe. Even persons who are more realistic, or at least more pessimistic, assume that someone else should . be there to meet any attack that may come. One widespread sentiment is that Western Europeans are not ready to do their part, that they may not reach the quotas which General Eisenhower's command deems necessary for our mutual de fense. It does not, apparently, occur to such critics that Europeans have much more reason to feel the same way about us. Judging from our attitude and conduct at home since the Korean war, they would certainly be justified in doing so. In nearly every other country, on both sides of the Iron Curtain, the average citizen enters the Armed Forces expecting to be trained for combat. The USSR has placed its emphasis on infantry and artillery with the result that it is capable of throwing scores of divisions into action on each of several fronts. Marshal Tito, with an army and militia of 500,000 men, has managed to create about 30 divisions. At the outbreak of the Korean war, we had less than a dozen in an army half again larger than Yugoslavia's." It is true that in most other armies, a division' is a smaller unit than it is in our Army or Marine corps but it is still obvious that our country, which must keep an eye on several continents, should have at least as many combat troops as a nation that has only its own borders to protect. However, in our armed forces most of the men are auxiliaries or non-combatants, and most per sons entering the service expect, as their birth right, to become part of the majority. The fact is nobody wants to be a fighting man. This does not mean that everybody who is eligi ble for military duty is trying to avoid it, al though there is a great deal, of that, too. It means precisely that nobody wants to be a fighting manv Everybody is trying to. escape assignment to the Marine Corps, the infantry, and, to a lesser ex tent, any other branch of the service which makes (See YOUR FREEDOM, page 6) All Groups Must Apply For Permits A University Dance committee spokesman pointed out yesterday that several . organizations have become lax in filing applications for dances. , .
