AN EDITORIAL:
Our Mutual Friend,
Joe Minority
The GI sketched here is Joe Minority. He’s a good guy
—happy, carefree and unconcerned. His dauntless indi-
vidualism has remained sturdy and unbowed before^ a
two years’ accumulation of
KP, coal details and latrine
duty. Joe says he just doesn’t
give a damn—and there’s
little reason not to believe
him.
We don’t like to make un-
kind remarks about Joe, for
in his own way he’s as goody
hearted as they come. “If he
can get away with it, more
power to him,” say some of
his buddies.
Yet there’s something else
to be considered too. It’s this:
When the “brass hats” start
pondering the notion of more
and longer classes on how to
wear the uniform, how to
render a proper salute, and
other such matters of an equally “lively” nature, right
away they spot a Joe Minority and the thing is cinched.
A city street can be filled with soldiers dressed as they
should be and rendering proper salutes all over the place,
but one Joe Minority will ruin the whole picture. He’s
the guy who’ll be spotted every time.
