Solgiers wear karki. If you are an offiser the others salut you if you
arn't they don't. People musn't kill each other unless they have to becos
it's rwong. Solgiers have to. They have to pollish there buttens as well.
It is there cheef job unless they are offisers. Then they don't becos they
get paid more and let some one else do it for them. Before the war solgiers
were only one kind of man, now they are all kinds but mostly good. Granpa
is a genral so he knows. A frend of fathers is a private, he is quite nice
but he mayn't come to dinner when granpas here. I shall be a solgier when I
grow up praps a genral but Im not sure. I would like to be someone with a
sord and a drum. Granpa hasn't got a drum.
