Peter: Who is this Devil, this 60th Infantry they're talking about?
Paul: I don't know exacttly: but I do know that this infantry family
of his is one group of people which gives more and gets
less than any other group of men on earth.
Peter: Well, what's that make this 60 guy?
Paul: Oh, I guess he could be called one of those non-union
jokers who work overtime and all that kind of businss.
Peter: Scabs?
Paul: No, I would't call then that - just victums of circumstances
you maight say.
Peter: I guess it gets a bit out of hand, lad, when a man has been
leading a life stripped bare of all social conventions.
Miserable, lonely, scared - wishing their name wasn't
60, but working and fighting to make it the proudest name
of its kind. Praying they were home, but swearing they'll
stay and finish every dirty detail of the miserable job that fate
gave them.
Paul: Hold on a minute! Sounds like you're decorating a hero!
Peter: Maybe I am.
Paul: I don't know exacttly: but I do know that this infantry family
