"Jan and Her Job"
L. Allen Harker
When I see these fellows with three stripes on their arms, and looking at them and wondering at them as if they were struck three stripes by lightning, and calling themselves Sergeants and swanking about and letting their men waddle up to their gun like cows-and when I see them, as I've done with your eyes-watch one of their men pass by an officer in the street without saluting, and don't kick the blighter to-to-to barracks-it fairly makes me sick.
"The Red Planet"
William J. Locke
