...Dday, the sky over the tent city of Camp Wilson, a simulated carrier just off the coast of Argos, was full of HueyCobra gunships, troop-carrying Chinooks and A-6 Intruders making thrusts at the invisible "aggressor" force. The first wave of the attack consisted of reservists from New England, Ohio and New York-most of whom viewed the task mainly as an extra day in the sun. Bedraggled and blear-eyed, they ambled off belching LVTs to the consternation of whitebanded "umpires" who frantically waved yellow flags to simulate a mortar and grenade attack...
...aggressor battalion has pushed a company to within three miles of Camp Wilson," said Colonel A.J. Brosco, 43, a criminal lawyer from Providence, R.I. "Give me the file marked confidential," he said to a captain. "Aerial photos taken this morning indicate a SAM location and a rudimentary airfield."

Trying to go straight and live right, he only makes the citizens more suspicious. They are resentful in some vague way, and the sheriff, Mean John ("But only my friends can call me that") Simpson, is disbelieving. "I seen boys like...
...days of space ships, compulsory military service becomes ridiculous and dangerously absurd, as well as obscene. Our involvement as an aggressor in Indochina is a prize example of this danger. Without this Congressional Slave act, this nation could not have, in my judgment, been led by its pactomania mad-men into a war of naked and raw agression upon a peasant people who have never threatened this nation's security in any way and could not, even if they wished, which they do not. Our youth are much too intelligent and sophisticated for such utter nonsense...
