But
I
did
not
see
him
and
he
did
not
graduate
.
He
was
commissioned
two
weeks
later
and
his
pips
came
back
with
their
eighteenth
decoration
--
the
Wounded
Lion
,
posthumous
.
Youse
guys
think
this
deleted
outfit
is
a
blankety-blank
nursery
.
Well
,
it
ai
n't
!
See
?
Remark
attributed
to
a
Hellenic
corporal
before
the
walls
of
Troy
,
1194
B.
C.
The
Rodger
Young
carries
one
platoon
and
is
crowded
;
the
Tours
carries
six
--
and
is
roomy
.
She
has
the
tubes
to
drop
them
all
at
once
and
enough
spare
room
to
carry
twice
that
number
and
make
a
second
drop
.
This
would
make
her
very
crowded
,
with
eating
in
shifts
,
hammocks
in
passageways
and
drop
rooms
,
rationed
water
,
inhale
when
your
mate
exhales
,
and
get
your
elbow
out
of
my
eye
!
I
'm
glad
they
did
n't
double
up
while
I
was
in
her
.
But
she
has
the
speed
and
lift
to
deliver
such
crowded
troops
still
in
fighting
condition
to
any
point
in
Federation
space
and
much
of
Bug
space
;
under
Cherenkov
drive
she
cranks
Mike
400
or
better
--
say
Sol
to
Capella
,
forty-six
lightyears
,
in
under
six
weeks
.
Of
course
,
a
six-platoon
transport
is
not
big
compared
with
a
battle
wagon
or
passenger
liner
;
these
things
are
compromises
.
The
M.
I.
prefers
speedy
little
one-platoon
corvettes
which
give
flexibility
for
any
operation
,
while
if
it
was
left
up
to
the
Navy
we
would
have
nothing
but
regimental
transports
.
It
takes
almost
as
many
Navy
files
to
run
a
corvette
as
it
does
to
run
a
monster
big
enough
for
a
regiment
--
more
maintenance
and
housekeeping
,
of
course
,
but
soldiers
can
do
that
.
