Howard Zinn Quote
The literature that followed World War II, James Jones's From Here to Eternity, Joseph Heller's Catch-22, and Norman Mailer's The Naked and the Dead, captured this GI anger against the army brass. In The Naked and the Dead, the soldiers talk in battle, and one of them says: The only thing wrong with this Army is it never lost a war.Toglio was shocked. You think we ought to lose this one? Red found himself carried away. What have I against the goddam Japs? You think I care if they keep this fuggin jungle? What's it to me if Cummings gets another star? General Cummings, he's a good man, Martinez said. There ain't a good officer in the world, Red stated.
