You Can’t Let Your Country Down.

I think they have a good idea on what war’s all about. They see television, they hear it from myself, different ones like myself, the horrors of war, one thing or another. I told them, I’d say to them, “Now look, before you make up your mind, think about things. What war is. I still hope there’d be no more war, but be careful what you’re going into, you know, along those lines,” I’d say. “But don’t neglect … if you want to go, go. Don’t say don’t go.”I’d say, “You’ve got your country to take care of. I mean, it’s ... you are the only ones that are in a position to, really, young men, to take part in anything that’s going to help your country. And it’s something that you just have to do. That’s all there is to it. I mean ... you can’t let your country down. But I still hope there’s no more war … that you’ll have to make any decision in what to do.”
