BY WILL V. NELLY

AMP WAR CORRESPONDENT
WITH u. S. FORCES IN THE
PACIFIC - amp Hundreds OF
Negro troops III this theater nave
begun to resent the continual hue
and cry of the bench warmers BACK
home who keep insisting on more
Negro combat troops and less
dirty work" soldering.
These people seem to think that
the colored soldier is getting side
stepped and is doing everything
except fighting. The troops, who
ought to know. disagree with this
view
They feel that few OF the
critics who are back home talking
the war over in safety, should do
the right thing by getting INTO
uniform as soon as possible,
Negro troops realize that no war
can be won by combat troops
alone. They know that not a single
shot can be fired without many
other men going into action TO
furnish the necessary supplies Tor
the shot to be fired.
HERE ARE THE FACTS
For the purpose of clearer DELI
milton. let us take a look at the
facts.
The trouble seems to be that
great percentage of Negro troops
are made up of engineers, quarter
master, ordnance and port batta-
lion
We are not including, of course,
the air, units, artillery and infantry.
We are speaking about the units
that seem to be causing all the
fuss in the u. S.
To the laymen, combat soldier
is simply soldier who has gun,
points it at the enemy and kills or
gets killed. These laymen feel that
if our troops are not given gun
and rushed to the front lines, they
are merely "goIdbricking.
This is the part of the argument
that is causing the resentment
among the troops
KNOW FRONT LINES
Negro troops in the quartermaster
corps who risked their neckS
rushing supplies to New Guinea
when the JapS threatened, can tell
the folks back home plenty about
front lines. They can tell of the
sleepless nights, of being shot uD by
the ever present zeros. They can
tell the agitators who say they
have the easy jobs to get straight
on the subject before sounding off
about goldbricking. These are the
boys who can tell you that some-
times there just isn't front line.
Then there are the engineers who
