old bulleroo in there will do no
harm.
In any event, I like to think
that the boys no longer cuss
their generals, or that they cuss
at all, because army cussing has
not been sufficiently improved
in the past 100 years to make
ii novel or interesting.
T BELIEVE our Gen. George
Il Patton Jr. is accounted a
master of cussing among our
army officers. but / would like
10 bet him that he cannot give
me a single word that was not
known TO Gen. Sheridan.
I notice in a book by one OF
the war correspondents that he
seems to think certain cuss

and he has them employing IL,
with great frequency, but that

Georgia and must have been left

hear it in Macon and Atlanta.
THERE are no new words In
Il army cussology. AS a matter
of fact, 1 imagine the army's
lexicon of cuss words has shrllnk
with the passing of the mule OF
the old army.
The mule was a great inspira-
ton to new cuss words.
Army mule SINNERS did not
have TO sit around thinking up
the words-they would come to
their lips unbidden when they
were arguing with the mules.
With few mules in the army
nowadays, the cuss words SOL
der can apply TO a mule are
useless, unless, Of course. he
wants TO apply them (under his
breath) TO a general.
