Veterans Day
NOVEMBER 11 Veterans Day is a day of solemn
remembrance for all patriotic Americans. Originally des
ignated Armistice Day in recognition of the end of World
War I today it stands as a tribute of our country to all
who have served under Old Glory.
Veterans Day should mean more than a day off from
work for us. It should be a time of thanksgiving to all of
our countrymen who have fought and died on battlefields
from Anzio to the Yalu River from Bunker Hill to the
rice paddies of Viet Nam. It is through their sacrifice and
the risk of their lives that we remain free citizens in a world
in which democratic government is unceasingly attacked
by its enemies.
Veterans Day then is a living expression of patrio
tism. But unfortunately patriotism is a sneer on many
people's lips. To them it is a catch word used to instill a
false idealism in the hearts of those asked to defend their
country. They see patriotism as a flag-waving sop.
For the intelligent citizen though patriotism is not
an ethereal delusion rather it is a lofty ideal expressing
the best of what our country stands for: the God-given
right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Patrio
tism is not blind obedience to any idea or organization
which tacks on the adjective American. Patriotism is a be
lief and struggle for those principles of government and
personal behavior which make the United States a great
country. It is the embodiment of the national spirit of the
American people. It involves a continuous effort to stamp
out bigotry hate intolerance ignorance and any other
mental obstacle which blocks the right of any American
to enjoy without fear or restraint his freedoms in our
free society.
With our country threatened as never before by a
foreign power and repugnant philosophy we must work
to strengthen our form of government»and society and
destroy within us whatever the forces undermining free
dom. We must strive to be good patriots not flag-wavers
but dedicated well-informed tolerant citizens.
We are all aware that there is room for us to improve
our patriotism. Veterans Day with its underlying demand
that we pay our debt to those who fought and died for us
is an excellent time to start.
As a matter of fact right now is even better.
Army Modernizes System

now has an up-dated system of

VIEWS ON
BOOKS
By DUB GRIFFITH
Sentinel Staff Writer
War and Civilization se
lected from Arnold Toynbee's
A Study of History by Albert
Vann Fowler. Published by
Oxford Press and copyrighted
in 1950. 165 pp.
Man's inner driver for heroic
military virtues in modern war
fare fills a spiritual vacuum for
people who have lost the tradi
tional sustenance of the Chris
tian virtues. Human nature ab
hors a spiritual vacuum and the
pursuit of the military virtues
is an attempt to give meaning
to life.
This is one reason along with
democratic armies and the out
put of industrialism that Toyn-
bee believes war has become so
vicious and "internecine."
The heroic military virtues
which are often blindly wor
by re at on a
which center around courage
and obedience produce the an
tithesis of what is intended. Sup
posedly a man who has been
tested under fire is purer than
a man who has never experi
enced life so constantly close to
death. But the courageous obe
dient soldier is also a man who
destroys the life of another. Is
this virtuous? The author thinks
not. He says it is the negation
of civilized principles because
war has been the main cause
of the social breakdown which
has led to the collapse of civili
zations. War is essentially anti
social a destructive disinte
grating force upon civilization.
Two political philosophies
have come to the fore in the
2 0 as is a
Nazism which have extolled
war as a way of life and an
expression of the vitality and
nobility of the people. Carrying
this belief onto the battlefield
has introduced an unlimited vi-
ciousness and cruelty into war.
It has produced Adolph Eich-
mann and the slaughter of eight
million Jews.
Toynbee warns of our doom
because he believes that history
teaches lessons of the past which
forewarn of the future. "We can
not say for certain that our
doom is at hand and yet we
have no warrant for assuming
that it is not for that would be
to assume that we are not as
other men are and any such
assumption would be at variance
with everything we know about
human nature either by look
ing around us or by introspec
tion."
Whether or not a person
agrees with Toynbee he is put
on the defensive by this his
torian because of the vastness
and depth of his knowledge of
the past. Not only that Toynbee
takes history and as few his
torians do writes it well. The
result is a fascinating historical
treatise.

Troop Information
Army Wings
Next week's Troop Informa
tion topic "Army Wings" is a
challenging subject for os
who may want to become mem
bers of the United States Army
aviation program.
From the conception of Army
air mobility in 1861 when Thad-
deus S. C. Lowe demonstrated
his balloon at an aerial obser
vation post in Washington D.C.
to the present time Army avia
tion has occupied an important
place in Army combat opera
tions.
Just why does the Army need
aircraft and men to fly them?
The answer to this question
lies on the battlefield of tomor
row where our forces will fre
quently be operating under the
threat of nuclear weapons.
Commanders must have ways
of locating the enemy dispers
in is or an in
them quickiy to attack. Supplies
must keep up with the fighting
troops and there must be a
way to get the wounded to a
medical facility in a hurry.
All of these require mobility
and when speed is essential
there is no substitute for air
mobility. This is where Army
aviation enters the picture for
it can do all of these things
and do them well.

The effectiveness of Army
aviation is being proved daily
in Viet Nam where Army air
craft has become an integral
part of combat and combat sup
port.
During the current fiscal year
the Army plans to acquire 1600
new aircraft. Who is going to
fly these aircraft? The Army
now has about 7000 pilots and
there is a critical need for
about 1200 more. By 1970 there
will be a need for 10000 pilots
of which approximately half
will be warrant officers.
The Army Warrant Officer
Aviation program offers one of
the most promising careers
ever offered by the Army.
Those who are qualified are
urged to seriously consider this
career field.
One of the distinguishing fea
tures of the Army aviation pro
gram is the fact that like all
other elements of the Army it
is centered around the man
the soldier ... and how aviation
can best serve him.
