To the Captain: Treat Our Boys White Not a Class Above
An appeal urges a humane yet disciplined U S Army approach. The writer warns against Prussian excess, notes 600 000 young men aged 21 to 31, and stresses that these soldiers are ordinary Americans with duty but no desire for a lifetime military career. They demand fair treatment and insist on respect for their humanity. The letter frames the force as fighters against militarism, not conquerors. It calls for strict training, hard conditions, and no caste, asking the captain to view the men as sons of the nation.
