Way They Have in the Army,

You begin to learn that the army
has ways Of it's own, and that it's WAYS
are not civilian ways, pretty soon after
you get into it, observes a writer in
the Saturday Evening Post. Orders
that must be obeyed without question
and without delay, telling you to do
things that you have never done be-
fore, and don't know why you are do
ing now, always make q civilian gasp
a little at first. You discover that to
question and to seek to discover the
motive and ultimate aim of any order
that you do not understand is purely
instructive. You ask yourself quite
automatically: "Why should I do
this?" or "Shall l do this?" When you
have been in the army little while
you discover that the answer is Eyes"
There is no other answer, so after a
while you quit asking yourself foolish
questions. This is what may be called
"the effect of discipline" We Amer
leans are always being told that we
are the most undisciplined people on
earth; that we do as we please and
that a vigorously ordered life and dis
cipline would do us good and make
us more effective. Well, I am here to
state that the theory and belief is now
being tested out in about million Of
US, and if after the war we don't come
In out of the rain it will be because
there Is nobody there to tell US to
come in.
