Wings Ahead!
BY MISTER C. J. WILLS.
Tweet-Tweet! ! ! There's that
doggone whistle again. Doesn't
this army ever give a fellow any
time ?
Hit that door on the double!
Get that hat on straight, and get
out of here. You don't walk around
here. Mister. You're supposed to
be at attention keep those eyes
on a poinWwipe off that smile!!!
What's funnv? This is serious
business, misters. How much time
did von snend on those shoes
Well, snend thirty more minutes
tonight. When did you shine that
buckle last? Did you ever hear of
the "West Point Pleat?" Look
sharp be proud! Fix that hat!
Stick out that chest more! more
more yet!! Pop some buttons.
Knock me down. How old ' are
you? Get that many wrinkles in
your chin! Hit a brace! Hands
along the seam of your trousers.
Freeze!!! Don't move a muscle!
You're an aviation student now.
You asked for this! Sound off,
mister! Don't bend that elbow.
Swing your arms from the
shoulder. You're on your honor
turn vourself in for a gig.
The day wouldn't start off just
right if at least half of these
familiar phrases weren't uttered
by some person of higher ranK.
Leaders to the Fore . . .
With the passing of the first
few days of the Area and Lan
guage program the darkness that
enveloped the minds of many sol
diers concernning this course of
study has been dispersed. They
have been told as well as is pos
sible, under present circumstances
vhat thpir role will be in the post
war world. Among other things it
is to be a job or helping io re
habilitate and reconstruct war-
torn Germany. Intelligent and
forceful leaders will be needed
who can guide and instruct the
Oonnan neonle ir how to create
a united, democratic government
out of the chaos into wmcn men-
Nazi leaders have changed them
One of the main purposes of the
Army Specialized Training pro
gram is to develop and train those
men who can command the re
spect and obedience of others. The
36 weeks that lie ahead for the
students in this program promise
to be difficult, but it is out of
trouble and difficulty that good
leaders are made.
In the past, in Germany for ex
ample, those whom we considered
to be the finest and foremost
thinkers were not dominant
enough to Impress their ideas and
convictions nnon the mass of the
people. The people became tired
of the depression that had en
eulfed their country and thev de
sired a leader who could lift them
out of it immediately. Conse
- nnentlv. it was to the little paper
hanger from Austria that they
turned, for he promised them
pvprvthine' thev had dreamed of.
- ; tJ
The German race nas aiways
hpen. because of their environ
ment, a warlike one. and into their
culture has been bred the desire
for strong leaders whom they
might obey. Dr. Emil Ludwig
once stated that the German was
willing to die for his country, but
that he was not willing to minK
for his country. And it is true tnai
few great German statesmen
haverisen with a peaceful social
consciousness. Nearly all of Ger
many's immortals have been war
riors. Therefore, until and unless
such a warlike philosophy is
prased from the German mind.
and the kind of leaders are found
who can lead Germany out of the
morass into which she has sunK
her guidance must come largely
from without The burden or re
establishing an intelligent and
peaceful German government will
be on the shoulders of the democ
racies. It will be up to them to
Drovide the capable, iorceiui ieaa-
ers such as can only oe aevei
oned or broutrht out in the lougn
yj
est of programs, in tne weexs
that lie ahead each student will
be given a chance to prove him
self, manures wiu nor. come irom
a lack of opportunities, but only
from a lack of the stuff known
as intestinal fortitude.
