like to express my Point of View about kids demand Why not it happens that i am 18 years of age and i have fought in the army paratroops since july 1 fought in Normandy and in and i am going Back to the front i have the purple heart and a Cluster to go with now dont you people think that us what you at least have the right to vote for what we Are fighting for i dont think anyone knows More about what we Are i gifting for than the youngster who Are fighting this if we kids Haven got brains enough to vote because we Are too then would you please get us 4he hell out of this Richard 5qlst now wait a we propose a favorite topic for discussion among soldiers is the Bonus the policy of Congress is entirely Dis agreeable to in fairness to All a Soldier Bonus should be paid for com length of time and also tone spent in the we propose the sum of 50 cents for every Day served in the one Dollar for every Day and for everyday spent in combat we Mink this makes dont Joseph Morris Leonard pfc John i we dont care to get arguing with Cong ass is like arguing with first on making statements at the annual meeting in Atlantic of the association of american colleges the educators voiced Stroug opposition to Universal military Paul president of Bridgewater expressed fear that a year of conscription might regiment Young boys in the routine of the military system and thereby cripple them for life in free i admit that a first everything in civilian life will seem strange but that Only i do know this that a Soldier spends one month or five years Fin the it teaches him to really appreciate his Home and the Freedom he used to in nine cases out of 10 the average Soldier will become a better citizen after he has adjusted himself to i suggest that the educators of America consult some of the soldiers who Lave already returned before making such statements to the Dan one please in 1920 i was boy of 14 and i Well remember the Way leftover War material was disposed after hostilities things were stored and later sold in Large lots to dealers and now i have a few souvenirs of european but what id like after All the is my own i have looked after that cared for it and relied upon it seems to me Uncle Sam should let a Soldier buy his not a replacement but at a reasonable secondhand Why put them in hand them around on hand lease at a ridiculous Exchange or sell them to dealers who will profit on Adrian Fred the too your orphans letter by Frederick a published in i huddle on proved to be very interesting and sorta raised my Dandruff a it seems to criticize All these opinions that the gis have on going especially with reference to mar ried men with lets not take away what these men have established Back in the these men have already made that fatal step of getting married while you and i Are still think what they have Given up in coming overseas to fight for their you and i have also Given but they also had to give up their wives and men who have left a Home behind should go Home before the rest of us who Are still and As far As your com plaint that you Are an orphan youre All Uncle Sam thinks of everything even of the i myself have four years in the army and 32 months of that but in willing to let these other men who Are married and have children go Back and carry on where they so ill leave you with this As a we who Are single and want so much to have a Happy Home with lets not Rush off Home until we Are sure that the Homes we Hope to have in the future will be Homes that Are secure and and above All in a demo cratic remember Uncle Sam is thinking of the future As Well As the pre James some help in answer to Al about business in your 21 Issue its a Good idea to think about new businesses for the postwar its the Small industries that employ most of

the George armoured mess kits and enemies every time i pick up a paper i see where some Bis shot is trying to convince the people Back Home that one years training is necessary for Well i dont think it i came in the army when i was 18 and i have said Many if i had had another year at i would be better mentally fit for the if 18yearolds must have military Why dont they make it compulsory in College the average 18year old is in College at that and i know he would rather spend a couple of hours a Day learning to than to spend every Day in an army Camp learning to eliminate his enemy and How to Shine a mess kit for saturdays if they must Hawe military give them but for the safety of future generations keep them out of the Leonard big Brothers recently the i huddle impressed me with an
