"I want France to have two armies; one for display, with lovely guns, tanks, little soldiers, fanfares, staffs, distinguished and doddering generals, and dear little regimental officers who would be deeply concerned over their general's bowel movements or their colone's piles'an army that would be shown for a modest fee on every fairground in the country. The other would be the real one, composed entirely of young enthusiasts in camouflage battledress, who would not be put on display but from whom impossible efforts would be demanded, and to whom all sorts of tricks would be taught. That is the army in which I should like to fight." 'Jean Larteguy, _Les Centurions_ Whenever I think about this quote'which is often' I think of Andrew I Webber, a young enthusiast in camouflage battledress nonpareil. |
