The column closes with a jab at horse racing and Trojan horses.
A German ancestry U.S. citizen and a Japanese American 100th Infantry Battalion soldier exchange remarks about Chinatown and combat service. The tale highlights worn uniforms and a moment of embarrassment as the soldier recalls battles in Italy. Included are reminiscences about Edward Stettinius and Hemingway, plus military critique of U.S. command decisions and division performance in World War II.
A humorous wartime anecdote recounts an army sergeant testing lazy recruits at fatigue duty. Nineteen of twenty raise their right hands while the twentieth, unenthused, refuses, claiming it is too much trouble. The piece weaves broader quips about Germany and conciliation into the comic vignette.
A reminiscence on Pershing Square soap box orators who preached Production for Use, the rise of Sinclair and Townsend plans, and the public allure of something for nothing. The author questions how production for use would work in practice and contrasts it with past reforms and wartime programs, urging self-reliance and hustle.
The author contrasts a negotiated peace in World War I with the unconditional surrender demanded in the current conflict.
