POSTSCRIPT OF THE* APACHE SENTINEL
mmM h
SiH ft/riv/Jui.
Many people .say that being a civili
an is no good, that after being one for
a few weeks, you’ll wish to hell you we
re back in. the Army. They. 1 re nuts.* J
The discharge simply means that you
are free tc begin living your own life.
It’s good tc be free like t’hat but it
has fedme drawbacks.
I’ve found that people generally try
,to give you little breaks here and th
ere because you were in service. - but
they dent fall all over themselves.
There are a couple of reasons!
. One is that so many guys have come
home with ribbons and war stories that
they are nc longer a novelty. The oth
er reason is that once in a while they
run .into some punk who got his first
pair of shoes in the Army and is anxi
ous to see how many free beers his uni
form will get. He pops off about what a
,raw deal he’s getting and he asks every
civilian between 16 and 60 11 Why ain’t
you in uniform, Bud?"
Since being home I’ve found that al
most the loudest are those who have
suffered the least. After a citizen
runs into a. few' of these characters he
is going to be very cautious about the
honest guys who have had their pants
shot off, lost their girls while over
seas, cant find Jobs and are Just trying
to get along.
If you have to deal, with some mug
who got fat from the war and doesn't
• want to give you your due, get as tough
as you like and throw the book at him.
But until you're sure about him, don't
approach him with a chip on your shoul
der and a " I wa s in the Army, where in
hell were you" attitude.
Maybe he isn't wearing a discharge
button- they look like hell and they
bheak the second day you wear them
char.ces are he dug holes all the way
from Tunisia to Berlin, and if he
didn't, he's probably been approached
that way before, and he's getting a li
ttle on the defensive. ,
