General Baldwin had barely arrived in the forward area when a sniper’s bullet removed a button from his shirt.
He threw himself to the ground in terror. The men stood around with the greatest unconcern. The general yelled at a passing sergeant.
“Hey, isn’t somebody going to kill that damned sniper?”
The sergeant looked down at the general and replied: “I guess not, general. We’re scared that if we kill him the enemy will replace him with somebody who really knows how to shoot.”
