Marion: I cant help but think this was a childrens temper tandrem. The ETO war was
only about 7 weeks done, fighting in the PTO was still going on and everyone knew damn right well we had signed for the duration of hostilities plus 6 months and the
war was not over, in fact hoting up and talk about the Japanese Invasion. From what
I saw, we were just glad we were not being shot at lately, and most of our worries were
about being sent to the PTO to continue fighting after a nice long R&R period. I guess
it depends on ones point of view and mine was as a Infantry rifleman not under fire
and adverse conditions of living. To us, we just waited, hoped and prayed we would not
get into combat again. Sure, we were all anxious to get home but the waiting was just
part of war. Cant help but wonder how many line outfits had a Enlisted Mans Club 6
weeks after the war in ETO ended.. We sure didnt. A war was still going on, remember.
