You
do
n't
forget
it

Train
up
a
child
in
the
way
he
should
go
;
and
when
he
is
old
he
will
not
depart
from
it
.
Proverbs
XXII
:6
There
were
other
floggings
but
darn
few
.
Hendrick
was
the
only
man
in
our
regiment
to
be
flogged
by
sentence
of
court-martial
;
the
others
were
administrative
punishment
,
like
mine
,
and
for
lashes
it
was
necessary
to
go
all
the
way
up
to
the
Regimental
Commander
--
which
a
subordinate
commander
finds
distasteful
,
to
put
it
faintly
.
Even
then
,
Major
Malloy
was
much
more
likely
to
kick
the
man
out
,
"
Undesirable
Discharge
,
"
than
to
have
the
whipping
post
erected
.
In
a
way
,
an
administrative
flogging
is
the
mildest
sort
of
a
compliment
;
it
means
that
your
superiors
think
that
there
is
a
faint
possibility
that
you
just
might
have
the
character
eventually
to
make
a
soldier
and
a
citizen
,
unlikely
as
it
seems
at
the
moment
.
I
was
the
only
one
to
get
the
maximum
administrative
punishment
;
none
of
the
others
got
more
than
three
lashes
.
Nobody
else
came
as
close
as
I
did
to
putting
on
civilian
clothes
but
still
squeaked
by
.
This
is
a
social
distinction
of
sorts
.
I
do
n't
recommend
it
.
But
we
had
another
case
,
much
worse
than
mine
or
Ted
Hendrick
's
--
a
really
sick-making
one
.
Once
they
erected
gallows
.
Now
,
look
,
get
this
straight
.
This
case
did
n't
really
have
anything
to
do
with
the
Army
.
The
crime
did
n't
take
place
at
Camp
Currie
and
the
placement
officer
who
accepted
this
boy
for
M.
I.
should
turn
in
his
suit
.
He
deserted
,
only
two
days
after
we
arrived
at
Currie
.
Ridiculous
,
of
course
,
but
nothing
about
the
case
made
sense
--
why
did
n't
he
resign
?
Desertion
,
naturally
,
is
one
of
the
"
thirty-one
crash
landings
"
but
the
Army
does
n't
invoke
the
death
penalty
for
it
unless
there
are
special
circumstances
,
such
as
"
in
the
face
of
the
enemy
"
or
something
else
that
turns
it
from
a
highly
informal
way
of
resigning
into
something
that
ca
n't
be
ignored
.
The
Army
makes
no
effort
to
find
deserters
and
bring
them
back
.
This
makes
the
hardest
kind
of
sense
.
We
're
all
volunteers
;
we
're
M.
I.
because
we
want
to
be
,
we
're
proud
to
be
M.
I.
and
the
M.
I.
is
proud
of
us
.
If
a
man
does
n't
feel
that
way
about
it
,
from
his
callused
feet
to
his
hairy
ears
,
I
do
n't
want
him
on
my
flank
when
trouble
starts
.
If
I
buy
a
piece
of
it
,
I
want
men
around
me
who
will
pick
me
up
because
they
're
M.
I.
and
I
'm
M.
I.
and
my
skin
means
as
much
to
them
as
their
own
.
I
do
n't
want
any
ersatz
soldiers
,
dragging
their
tails
and
ducking
out
when
the
party
gets
rough
.
It
's
a
whole
lot
safer
to
have
a
blank
file
on
your
flank
than
to
have
an
alleged
soldier
who
is
nursing
the
"
conscript
"
syndrome
.
So
if
they
run
,
let
'
em
run
;
it
's
a
waste
of
time
and
money
to
fetch
them
back
.
