One doesn't become a soldier in a week - it takes training, study and discipline. There is no question that the finest Army in the world is found in the United States.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
So the whole of war, when you look at it is probably run by professional soldiers, and the rest of them are just recruits, or people who are just forced to join the army.
Soldiering is a very important profession, is it not?
I've never been a soldier. In Denmark, at 18, as a male, you go in a draw, and if they pick you, you go and serve for a year. I didn't.
If I have got to be a soldier, I must be a good one, anything else is unthinkable.
Our servicemen and women are highly trained, highly skilled, and the most professional fighting force in the world.
The American soldier is quick in adapting himself to a new mode of living. Outfits which have been here only three days have dug vast networks of ditches three feet deep in the bare brown earth. They have rigged up a light here and there with a storage battery.
More than 48 million men and women have served America well and faithfully in military uniform.
There are many people who do not know if the U.S. Army has 60,000 men or 6 million. They do not have a clue about that.
Oddly, the military world is one of great sameness. There is an orderly quality to life on an army base, and even the children of the military are brought up with that sense of order and sameness.
In the army, we do two things every day. We train our soldiers, and then we grow them into leaders, because frankly, we don't hire out. We grow our own leaders.
