Open letter to an arm-chair Army critic

1 Jan 1948

350 Open letter to an arm-chair Army critic Dear Sir, You complain that every man who joins the regular Army is a good man lost to industry. You condemn the lunacy of turning citizens into soldiers while production lags for want of trained hands. And you wind up by flaying the War Office for discharging men into civil- ian life without suitable qualifications for earning their living. You are very indignant but, forgive us, completely mistaken. May we point out first of all that your conception of the modern regular Army is as outdated as the cartoonists' Sergeant Major.
