Chapter 111
uThe army the Yanks took to Europe was the biggest army anyone had ever seen,
2vWith more Yank soldiers in it than you could shake a pointed stick at,
3And more and bigger ships,
4And more and bigger planes,
5And more and bigger everything,
6Except tanks,
7wWhich the Krauts still had more and bigger of,
8xFor a while,
9Which was important,
10aBecause the Yanks were basically in a hurry,
11bAnd planning to wrap the whole thing up as quickly as possible,
12cSince they had learned the last time that there is no food in Europe,
13dUnless you count France,
14eWhich you couldn’t this time even if you wanted to,
15And so the important thing was to win and get home again before the troops started demanding ffood.
