"The army needs all types Of
men, married and single. Their
country should come first, home
afterwards. 4 mother hates to
see her single son leave home
just ms wife hates TO part with
her husband. We should not
show preference because one
man has not found his mate or
has been unlucky enough not to
marry.
married men have the same
opportunity i'm the army as the
