on the other side. True it is there are many who are fighting valiantly and fairly for what they believe right. Them I pity. But the brutal Hun who oppresses residents of occupied territory, the tricky one who fires his machine gun to the last and then pulls out a red cross brassard so as to be a non-combatant when he is taken prisoner, and above all the junker whose sole idea of right is expressed in terms of power -- for them I have no sympathy. The more of them we can kill the safer will the civilization of the future be. I know something about what they are doing to our prisoners. Yes, out of all the awfulness something hopeful will come. And it will not be very much longer coming. Lovingly, Conger. Conger Reynolds 2nd Lt AGD
