An ex-serviceman asks - Why me? I've had my war!

1 Jan 1948

351 An ex-service man asks— Why me? I've had my war! Must we have a Territorial Army? Are we ex- pecting war? No, but we'd be fools to ignore the possibility. All right. Suppose there was a war. Wouldn't it be a push-button affair, all over before you could say 'Right turn?' We don't know. All we know is that we might be called upon to defend this island. What with? We can't shoot down rockets with rifles. Rockets aren't the only means of attack—and rifles aren't the only means of defence. Our boffins haven't been busy in their back rooms for nothing.
