I
'm
interested
in
the
Research
and
Development
Corps
,
"
Carl
said
soberly
,
"
especially
electronics
.
I
understand
the
chances
are
pretty
good
.
"
"
They
are
if
you
can
cut
it
,
"
the
Fleet
Sergeant
said
grimly
,
"
and
not
if
you
do
n't
have
what
it
takes
,
both
in
preparation
and
ability
.
Look
,
boys
,
have
you
any
idea
why
they
have
me
out
here
in
front
?
"
I
did
n't
understand
him
.
Carl
said
,
"
Why
?
"
"
Because
the
government
does
n't
care
one
bucket
of
swill
whether
you
join
or
not
!
Because
it
has
become
stylish
,
with
some
people
--
too
many
people
--
to
serve
a
term
and
earn
a
franchise
and
be
able
to
wear
a
ribbon
in
your
lapel
which
says
that
you
're
a
vet
'
ran
...
whether
you
've
ever
seen
combat
or
not
.
But
if
you
want
to
serve
and
I
ca
n't
talk
you
out
of
it
,
then
we
have
to
take
you
,
because
that
's
your
constitutional
right
.
It
says
that
everybody
,
male
or
female
,
shall
have
his
born
right
to
pay
his
service
and
assume
full
citizenship
but
the
facts
are
that
we
are
getting
hard
pushed
to
find
things
for
all
the
volunteers
to
do
that
are
n't
just
glorified
K.
P
.
You
ca
n't
all
be
real
military
men
;
we
do
n't
need
that
many
and
most
of
the
volunteers
are
n't
number-one
soldier
material
anyhow
.
Got
any
idea
what
it
takes
to
make
a
soldier
?
"
"
No
,
"
I
admitted
.
"
Most
people
think
that
all
it
takes
is
two
hands
and
two
feet
and
a
stupid
mind
.
Maybe
so
,
for
cannon
fodder
.
Possibly
that
was
all
that
Julius
Caesar
required
.
But
a
private
soldier
today
is
a
specialist
so
highly
skilled
that
he
would
rate
'
master
'
in
any
other
trade
;
we
ca
n't
afford
stupid
ones
.
So
for
those
who
insist
on
serving
their
term
--
but
have
n't
got
what
we
want
and
must
have
--
we
've
had
to
think
up
a
whole
list
of
dirty
,
nasty
,
dangerous
jobs
that
will
either
run
'
em
home
with
their
tails
between
their
legs
and
their
terms
uncompleted
...
or
at
the
very
least
make
them
remember
for
the
rest
of
their
lives
that
their
citizenship
is
valuable
to
them
because
they
've
paid
a
high
price
for
it
.
Take
that
young
lady
who
was
here
--
wants
to
be
a
pilot
.
I
hope
she
makes
it
;
we
always
need
good
pilots
,
not
enough
of
'
em
.
Maybe
she
will
.
But
if
she
misses
,
she
may
wind
up
in
Antarctica
,
her
pretty
eyes
red
from
never
seeing
anything
but
artificial
light
and
her
knuckles
callused
from
hard
,
dirty
work
.
"
I
wanted
to
tell
him
that
the
least
Carmencita
could
get
was
computer
programmer
for
the
sky
watch
;
she
really
was
a
whiz
at
math
.
But
he
was
talking
.
"
So
they
put
me
out
here
to
discourage
you
boys
.
Look
at
this
.
"
He
shoved
his
chair
around
to
make
sure
that
we
could
see
that
he
was
legless
.
"
Let
's
assume
that
you
do
n't
wind
up
digging
tunnels
on
Luna
or
playing
human
guinea
pig
for
new
diseases
through
sheer
lack
of
talent
;
suppose
we
do
make
a
fighting
man
out
of
you
.
