how big the army
fiction
edward w pritchard
Before a new wave of future patriotic military recruiting songs are written in anticipation of the largest recruiting drive of military men ever staged occurs in response to recent large gains in stocks and bonds prices permitting vast wealth creating opportunity to end under employment in our great country by vastly increasing the standing army, increasing the standing army past and above all large military's ever recruited and known to History; who will ask how big the army?
The Roman's controlled the civilized Mediterranean world with half a million men. What could a country do today with twenty million able soldiers. The supply of able men exists, the wealth is there, who will exploit them and when?
It's impolite to ask. Forget past precedents. Wait to see.
How big the army. What new songs will be heard. "Hail the Sunshine"[1]- or "Tomorrow belongs to me"[2]
[1] "Hail the Sunshine" words and music by Rado, Ragney and McDermitt for " Hair"
[2] "Tomorrow belongs to me" words and music by Kander and Ebb for "Cabaret"
