by Bill Smiley
. HO 'HUM, WAR IS HELL
'Is. there anything sillier than.
an old soldier? . Wait a minute,
.Jack, ' I' • don't, mean': honest 'vet-
erans like you d -mer '''Whe
fought o>ir war, then forgave
and forgot. No; .-I mean the* pro-
fessionals, .and ..: especially the
generals.
My feelings toward the ° top
brass • were • rekindled- recently
when.` • General " Omar Bradley
took, a ' swing. .from. out in left
field at General. Montgomery,
claiming.' 'Monty had been • too.
slow and ; too • syared' to ' close the
Falaise '''Gap ' when he should.
have. Twenty years: after,. the
event, the old boys are still bick-
ering.
I didn' blame Bradley ' much.
Montgomery has 'been... blaming
every other general, ever' since
the . war ended, for:. everything
that went wrong. Apparently he
.was Ttlie. "only big shot who was
always.: right. ,
And. that reninds .Me of •the
sickliest '. •thing Montgomery• ever
said. , It . ^Was ' +a .. few years : ago.
during an• interview:: -Tt ,was to
the effect that 'he likes ' 'to' see
soldiers soaking wet hungry, fit -
thy
il-thhy: and exhausted. • Then he
knows .they have been soldier-
ing. That .• sort of ' Poppycock .is
fairly. typical` of they:, intell e. ce
of a general.
This: may have been true ' dur.-
.ing : the Kaiser's 'war. Old .sweats:
of that one knew all'' . about ' .'dirt,
wet; • lice, slim rations and ex-
haustion. But their. .troubles
were .21l physical. ones: being
blown .up, or 'sniped, orcaught
on. t'he. •barbed wire; or 'gassed,
or eaten -.alive by rats. ,They
didn't o...psychologicaln t" face t
h
horrors of my • war. '
It was -.sheer . hell at times; for
us '"pilots, esPecially, if we • were
officers,:: Even•today, after ,two.
decades trying. to heal the scars,`.
memory,. : of . .those . ordeals sends
a cold shudder'' through . me.
Sometimes, for example, '.the
batman ''would forget to put. •sug-
ar in the `Morning • .tea '.,he
brough'F, when. , he '' wakened you.
But' you never complained: You:
.drank it .down • stoically, . without
'a whimper.

its mark on many of us ., was the

in a. family journal; ' one .. aero-

credible bad luck to be stiationed,
in England Was eight miles from
the. nearest pub, and the .only
Way to .get there • was by bicycle.

ditions. ' '
But that's the sort • of thing we
went through, and those of us
,who : survived were prematurely.

peculiar British, game in which

Another painful memory is
that of fat senior officers stand
ing. with their backsides to 'the
fireplace, while we junior" offi•
cers, shut off from the only heat
in the place, shivered miserably
around :the bar.
Old sweats talk about march-
ing 300 miles in ten days. They
don't realize what we went
through on those. .trains in. Eng-
