Every soldier knows what lin infinitesimal fraction of wartime expenditures ever reached the, battlefield.
Every soldier knows that both his comfort at the rear and his safety on the battlefield were sacrificed.
Every soldier knows that he had to depend upon weapons, munitions and supplies obtained from our allies.
Every soldier knows that throughout the war his interest was sacrificed to that of the slacker and profiteer.
