Do
n't
mention
it
.
"
I
saw
several
of
the
tiny
skulls
thereafter
,
some
with
more
"
bones
,
"
some
with
fewer
;
my
guess
had
been
correct
,
this
was
jewelry
permitted
with
uniform
,
when
on
pass
at
least
.
Then
I
got
my
own
chance
to
"
buy
"
one
almost
immediately
thereafter
and
discovered
that
the
prices
were
unreasonably
high
,
for
such
plain
ornaments
.
It
was
Operation
Bughouse
,
the
First
Battle
of
Klendathu
in
the
history
books
,
soon
after
Buenos
Aires
was
smeared
.
It
took
the
loss
of
B.
A.
to
make
the
groundhogs
realize
that
anything
was
going
on
,
because
people
who
have
n't
been
out
do
n't
really
believe
in
other
planets
,
not
down
deep
where
it
counts
.
I
know
I
had
n't
and
I
had
been
space-happy
since
I
was
a
pup
.
But
B.
A.
really
stirred
up
the
civilians
and
inspired
loud
screams
to
bring
all
our
forces
home
,
from
everywhere
--
orbit
them
around
the
planet
practically
shoulder
to
shoulder
and
interdict
the
space
Terra
occupies
.
This
is
silly
,
of
course
;
you
do
n't
win
a
war
by
defense
but
by
attack
--
no
"
Department
of
Defense
"
ever
won
a
war
;
see
the
histories
.
But
is
seems
to
be
a
standard
civilian
reaction
to
scream
for
defensive
tactics
as
soon
as
they
do
notice
a
war
.
They
then
want
to
run
the
war
--
like
a
passenger
trying
to
grab
the
controls
away
from
the
pilot
in
an
emergency
.
However
,
nobody
asked
my
opinion
at
the
time
;
I
was
told
.
Quite
aside
from
the
impossibility
of
dragging
the
troops
home
in
view
of
our
treaty
obligations
and
what
it
would
do
to
the
colony
planets
in
the
Federation
and
to
our
allies
,
we
were
awfully
busy
doing
something
else
,
to
wit
:
carrying
the
war
to
the
Bugs
.
I
suppose
I
noticed
the
destruction
of
B.
A.
much
less
than
most
civilians
did
.
We
were
already
a
couple
of
parsecs
away
under
Cherenkov
drive
and
the
news
did
n't
reach
us
until
we
got
it
from
another
ship
after
we
came
out
of
drive
.
I
remember
thinking
,
"
Gosh
,
that
's
terrible
!
"
and
feeling
sorry
for
the
one
Porteno
in
the
ship
.
But
B.
A.
was
n't
my
home
and
Terra
was
a
long
way
off
and
I
was
very
busy
,
as
the
attack
on
Klendathu
,
the
Bugs
'
home
planet
,
was
mounted
immediately
after
that
and
we
spent
the
time
to
rendezvous
strapped
in
our
bunks
,
doped
and
unconscious
,
with
the
internal-gravity
field
of
the
Valley
Forge
off
,
to
save
power
and
give
greater
speed
.
The
loss
of
Buenos
Aires
did
mean
a
great
deal
to
me
;
it
changed
my
life
enormously
,
but
this
I
did
not
know
until
many
months
later
.
When
it
came
time
to
drop
onto
Klendathu
,
I
was
assigned
to
PFC
Dutch
Bamburger
as
a
supernumerary
.
He
managed
to
conceal
his
pleasure
at
the
news
and
as
soon
as
the
platoon
sergeant
was
out
of
earshot
,
he
said
,
"
Listen
,
boot
,
you
stick
close
behind
me
and
stay
out
of
my
way
.
You
go
slowing
me
down
,
I
break
your
silly
neck
.
"
