QW - "The Army In Which I Would Fight"

“I‘d like to have two armies: One for displaying with lovely guns, tanks, little soldiers,
Staffs, distinguished and doddering generals and dear little regimental officers who would be deeply concerned over their general’s bowl movements of their colonel’s piles: An army that would be shown for a modest fee on every fairground in the country.”

“The other would be the real one composes entirely of young enthusiasts on camouflage uniforms, who would not be put on display, but from whom impossible efforts would be demanded and to whom all sorts of tricks would be taught. That’s the army in which I would like to fight.”

Jean Larte’Guy
