THE DIFFERENCE.
And so it is over. The catastrophe on one side of the world has run its course. The day that it had so long seemed would never come has come at last.... This is written on a little ship lying off the island of Okinawa, just south of Japan, on the other side of the world from [the] Ardennes. But my hart is still in europe.... It is easy for us to forget the dead. Those who are gone would not wish themselves to be a millstone of gloom around our necks. But there are many of the living who have had burned into their brains forever the unnatural sight of cold dead men scattered over the hillsides and in the ditches along the high rows of hedge throughout the world. Dead men by mass production in one country after another, month after month and year after year. Dead men in winter and dead men in summer. Dead men in such familiar promiscuity that they become monotonous. Dead men in such monstrous infinity that you come almost to hate them. These are the things that you at home need not even try to understand. To you at home they are columns of figures, or he is a near one who went away and just didn't come back. You didn't see him lying so grotesque and pasty beside the gravel road in France. We saw him, saw him by the multiple thousand. That's the difference. -- Erni Pyle
