THEY ARE MEN, EVERYONE!

Jay Franklin, coiumnist, feels very
strongly about the current habit of
calling the soldiers boys"
The term is heard everywhere, over
the radio, in print and in conversation.
AS Franklin rightly says, they are
not boys, however fondly their par
cnts may cling to that term of child
hood.
Many are married. and thinking
not so much about "mom's" apple pie
as about their wives allotments. and
the children's teeth or work at school.
Nor are they doing boys work.
They are men, everyone
There is nothing boyish about a
Mark " tank or a German pllbox, or
. fox hole.
To call our men "boys" is to belittlc
them with sentimentality.
