NARRATOR: Washington spoke from experience. Something is loosed that changes
all the world. They land me in planes from the airand they shoot me up to the
front in trucks and scout cars .
Their tattered cloaks are ragged on their
backs.
Something is loosed that changes all the world. The sergeant said to be
sure to ask you how youwere fixed for lemon extract. But were clothingand
feeding one million seven hundred thousand men. You have tohave guns and men to
protect those bases. When I wrote All men are created freeand equal, few
believed at first.
WIFE: He would bring peace, he would bring brotherhoodAnd
yet he will be mocked at in the street.
WIFE: Were they dreams, the shepherds
and the kings?
A triangular division needsplenty of machine guns. Just a few of
the skills and services thatgo to the making of an army.
What sort of news
comes into the quiet room?
Not with those men whose voices you can hear,Voices
of death and iron.
There was no room within itFor any but the foe. Ivegot the
jump of a flea and the guts of a terrier and Im harderto kill than an army
mule.
Well cook his mutton here and send it to him. Something is loosed to
change the shaken world.
But a guy whos used to Minnesota cant kick.
You have
tohave guns and men to protect those bases. Well, I guess I was thefirst guy
ashore so the old man said I could broadcast.

Sure, we countblankets, we count shoes, we hand out the rations. QUARTERMASTER:
