Almost
overnight
the
Glorious
Loyalty
Oath
Crusade
was
in
full
flower
,
and
Captain
Black
was
enraptured
to
discover
himself
spearheading
it
.
He
had
really
hit
on
something
.
All
the
enlisted
men
and
officers
on
combat
duty
had
to
sign
a
loyalty
oath
to
get
their
map
cases
from
the
intelligence
tent
,
a
second
loyalty
oath
to
receive
their
flak
suits
and
parachutes
from
the
parachute
tent
,
a
third
loyalty
oath
for
Lieutenant
Balkington
,
the
motor
vehicle
officer
,
to
be
allowed
to
ride
from
the
squadron
to
the
airfield
in
one
of
the
trucks
.
Every
time
they
turned
around
there
was
another
loyalty
oath
to
be
signed
.
They
signed
a
loyalty
oath
to
get
their
pay
from
the
finance
officer
,
to
obtain
their
PX
supplies
,
to
have
their
hair
cut
by
the
Italian
barbers
.
To
Captain
Black
,
every
officer
who
supported
his
Glorious
Loyalty
Oath
Crusade
was
a
competitor
,
and
he
planned
and
plotted
twenty
-
four
hours
a
day
to
keep
one
step
ahead
.
He
would
stand
second
to
none
in
his
devotion
to
country
.
When
other
officers
had
followed
his
urging
and
introduced
loyalty
oaths
of
their
own
,
he
went
them
one
better
by
making
every
son
of
a
bitch
who
came
to
his
intelligence
tent
sign
two
loyalty
oaths
,
then
three
,
then
four
;
then
he
introduced
the
pledge
of
allegiance
,
and
after
that
"
The
Star
-
Spangled
Banner
,
"
one
chorus
,
two
choruses
,
three
choruses
,
four
choruses
.
Each
time
Captain
Black
forged
ahead
of
his
competitors
,
he
swung
upon
them
scornfully
for
their
failure
to
follow
his
example
.
Each
time
they
followed
his
example
,
he
retreated
with
concern
and
racked
his
brain
for
some
new
stratagem
that
would
enable
him
to
turn
upon
them
scornfully
again
.
Without
realizing
how
it
had
come
about
,
the
combat
men
in
the
squadron
discovered
themselves
dominated
by
the
administrators
appointed
to
serve
them
.
They
were
bullied
,
insulted
,
harassed
and
shoved
about
all
day
long
by
one
after
the
other
.
When
they
voiced
objection
,
Captain
Black
replied
that
people
who
were
loyal
would
not
mind
signing
all
the
loyalty
oaths
they
had
to
.
To
anyone
who
questioned
the
effectiveness
of
the
loyalty
oaths
,
he
replied
that
people
who
really
did
owe
allegiance
to
their
country
would
be
proud
to
pledge
it
as
often
as
he
forced
them
to
.
And
to
anyone
who
questioned
the
morality
,
he
replied
that
"
The
Star
-
Spangled
Banner
"
was
the
greatest
piece
of
music
ever
composed
.
The
more
loyalty
oaths
a
person
signed
,
the
more
loyal
he
was
;
to
Captain
Black
it
was
as
simple
as
that
,
and
he
had
Corporal
Kolodny
sign
hundreds
with
his
name
each
day
so
that
he
could
always
prove
he
was
more
loyal
than
anyone
else
.
"
The
important
thing
is
to
keep
them
pledging
,
"
he
explained
to
his
cohorts
.
"
It
doesn
’
t
matter
whether
they
mean
it
or
not
.
That
’
s
why
they
make
little
kids
pledge
allegiance
even
before
they
know
what
‘
pledge
’
and
‘
allegiance
’
mean
.
"
To
Captain
Piltchard
and
Captain
Wren
,
the
Glorious
Loyalty
Oath
Crusade
was
a
glorious
pain
in
the
ass
,
since
it
complicated
their
task
of
organizing
the
crews
for
each
combat
mission
.
Men
were
tied
up
all
over
the
squadron
signing
,
pledging
and
singing
,
and
the
missions
took
hours
longer
to
get
under
way
.
Effective
emergency
action
became
impossible
,
but
Captain
Piltchard
and
Captain
Wren
were
both
too
timid
to
raise
any
outcry
against
Captain
Black
,
who
scrupulously
enforced
each
day
the
doctrine
of
"
Continual
Reaffirmation
"
that
he
had
originated
,
a
doctrine
designed
to
trap
all
those
men
who
had
become
disloyal
since
the
last
time
they
had
signed
a
loyalty
oath
the
day
before
.
It
was
Captain
Black
who
came
with
advice
to
Captain
Piltchard
and
Captain
Wren
as
they
pitched
about
in
their
bewildering
predicament
.
He
came
with
a
delegation
and
advised
them
bluntly
to
make
each
man
sign
a
loyalty
oath
before
allowing
him
to
fly
on
a
combat
mission
.
"
Of
course
,
it
’
s
up
to
you
,
"
Captain
Black
pointed
out
.
"
Nobody
’
s
trying
to
pressure
you
.
But
everyone
else
is
making
them
sign
loyalty
oaths
,
and
it
’
s
going
to
look
mighty
funny
to
the
F
.
B
.
I
.
if
you
two
are
the
only
ones
who
don
’
t
care
enough
about
your
country
to
make
them
sign
loyalty
oaths
,
too
.
If
you
want
to
get
a
bad
reputation
,
that
’
s
nobody
’
s
business
but
your
own
.
All
we
’
re
trying
to
do
is
help
.

Milo
was
not
convinced
and
absolutely
refused
to
deprive
Major
Major
of
food
,
even
if
Major
Major
was
a
Communist
,
which
Milo
secretly
doubted
.
Milo
was
by
nature
opposed
to
any
innovation
that
threatened
to
disrupt
the
normal
course
of
affairs
.
Milo
took
a
firm
moral
stand
and
absolutely
refused
to
participate
in
the
Glorious
Loyalty
Oath
Crusade
until
Captain
Black
called
upon
him
with
his
delegation
and
requested
him
to
.
"
National
defense
is
everybody
’
s
job
,
"
Captain
Black
replied
to
Milo
’
s
objection
.
"
And
this
whole
program
is
voluntary
,
Milo
—
don
’
t
forget
that
.
The
men
don
’
t
have
to
sign
Piltchard
and
Wren
’
s
loyalty
oath
if
they
don
’
t
want
to
.
But
we
need
you
to
starve
them
to
death
if
they
don
’
t
.
It
’
s
just
like
Catch
-
22
.
Don
’
t
you
get
it
?
You
’
re
not
against
Catch
-
22
,
are
you
?
"
Doc
Daneeka
was
adamant
.
