THAT FINANCE CLERK IS A REMF AND YOU DAMNED WELL KNOW IT.
AND BEING A GENERAL WITH COMBAT EXPERIENCE AS A YOUNG OFFICER DOES NOT
NOW, AND NEVER HAS PREVENTED THEM FROM BECOMING USELESS BRASS MORE
CONCERNED WITH CAREER CHOICES AND POLITICS THAN BEING A REAL SOLDIER.
AND YOU DAMNED WELL KNOW THAT TOO.
THE PRIZE OF THE LITTER FOR THE AMERICAN ARMY IN THE RVN ER WAS NAMED
WESTMORELAND.
PARAPHRASING THE GREAT MAN HIMSELF , WHEN ASKED WHY HE DID NOT BE MORE
TRUTHFUL ABOUT RVN STATUS;
"WHO WANT TO GIVE THEIR BOSS BAD NEWS? I DID NOT WANT TO BE THE GENERAL
THAT TOLD PRESIDENT JOHNSON THINGS WERE NOT GOING AS GOOD AS HE
THOUGHT"
PRICELESS.
YOU ARE AN OFFICER.
YOU SHOULD BE VERY AWARE OF THE BROTHERHOOD OF RING THUMPERS (WEST POINT
GRADS) WHO GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO COVER CAREER MOVES FOR EACH OTHER.
AND I REPEAT. THIS IS A FACT OF LIFE IN ALL ARMIES.
OOPS! FORGOT TO DOWN SHIFT!
