THEY CANNOT UNDERSTAND.
Here is food for thought. It- is a paragraph from a
soldier’s letter which graphically reveals what our fighting
men are having to do in the wild mountainous country south
of the equator and what they think of the American heme
scene.
“Hot, humid heat, insects and ants of a thousand kinds
and descriptions, mosquitos of the dengue and malaria type,
no warm baths, no fresh foods, tropical sores, itches and
rashes that are hard as hell to heal. I have a rash that has
been with me for months.
“Too many petty things are being wrangled over, in and
out of Congress, by editors and news broadcasters . . . too
much politics is being injected into the war effort at home.
What I want to read about are U awards for Unity, rather
than E awards. Look at the wrangling over the soldier vote,
mustering out pay, future bonus, labor legislation, business
legislation, subsidies and a price law. We read of the farm
lobby, manufacturers lobby, all out to get their pound of
flesh. We hear Forums on Win the Peace for Labor, Win
the Peace for the Farmer, and Win the Peace for Business—
self-styled experts and planners of the future. * Why in hell
don’t they shut up and concentrate on winning the war and
the peace for all America?”
This letter indicates that our jungle fighters have other
enemies than the Japs to battle in the Pacific sector. Tropi
cal diseases, prostrating humidity and difficult terrain -are
a few.
The soldier down below the equator might have added
“that there are many other^thmgs takings place on thehome
front which are making abominable history for our children
to read. Strikes in essential war industries are piling up.
Cheap _politics are sabotaging the war effort. „
We, as Americans, should feel deep contempt for our
selves. We drive many miles to a dance, to a party or seme
other kind of social activity which by no stretch of the imagi
nation can be classified as essential. We, are engaged in our
little do-or-die struggle for pleasure and recreation. There
are so many of us who can be classified as the worst type of
home-front parasites-^—not worth the smallest kind of a sacri-
-fice that-4hW obocurc lads are inakiiig howiTUi'ere below
the equator—or in Italy—or ^anywhere else those G-I young
sters are fighting.
