We, the Women— Fickle Girls Make Soldiers Turn Cynical
By RUTH MILLETT
IF THIS SOLDIER'S experience is typical it seems a lot of American girls are willing to do anything for Uncle Sam but wait for one of Here is
ites: “Eight of the A 38 men ih -my + barracks have
those sweetly| but firmly de- , livered missives ‘to the effect that ‘really my dear, ‘it has been nice, and I wouldn't ‘take ‘anything. for the r'e c ollection of our friendship, but , “Sure, we know how it is. Bpring is in the air. “Put the girl of our|sc dreams out with the boy with flat feet or 20-60 vision, and see how much thrill she gets from the next ‘letter she receives. Don't tell me. I'm’ just recovering from one of those amatory rejection’ slips myself, ...”
Ruth Millett
A BIT CYNICAL, that soldiers letter. . But maybe he has a right be. Twenty-five per cent is pretty steep—when you're venga ering broken romances. 2 But all. those girls didn't Jit their men just - because they are soldiers and the girls prefer to play it safe with young men whose feet are -flat. Even in. peacetime there are a lot of engagements that never reach marriage. The girl who in wartime will jJilt a soldier for a safer risk will in peacetime jilt a strug gling yourig man for one Whose future doesn’t look like as: ‘much: of a gamble. That ought to be “soihe_consola~ tion to the soldier and his buddies who are in the 25 per cent. Not only that, but had they mare ried their girls there would still be a chante they wouldn't keep them. About ope marriage in every five ends in jdivorce—without &hy help from war conditions, The trouble isn’t with being a soldier, The trouble is with neing. in love. risky, almost, as war.
