PAGE TWO
Scene Two
' The President calls for a new mobiliza
tion. The first Purple Heart is awarded. A
Battalion is "lost," the Seventh Fleet blasts
shore bases, and troops leave Japan. Pearl
Harbor shifts to familiar war-time activi
ties, and the First Marines leave California,
and once again troops sit for hours watch
ing the rolling waves and flying fish and
wonder what it will be like.
AND THIS IS HAPPENING not to a
new generation, but to the same one whose
older brothers hit the beaches at Iwo and
Normandy. Not twenty years later; not a
new cycle, but less than five years since
tanks and jeeps were left to rot in fields;
since airstrips were abandoned to the
jungles, shells by the thousands dumped
overboard, ships wrapped in mothballs, de
mobilization and reconversion.
Not the beginning of a new one, but the
raising of the curtain on Act one, Scene
two.
Now those older brothers are feeling
concern over the ones who board ships and
smile at the girls on the docks and grin "It
had to come, so let's finish it now. "These
men who see themselves and recall their
own eager goodbyes and proud, cocky re
marks remember they won't have to do it
again unless something new breaks. And
if they must, they know they'll yell and
crack wise and wave so-longs not be
cause they want to but because leaving
troops are supposed to show their guts.
AND IF THEY GO OUT AGAIN, the
shore will fade and the lights wink dim
mer and fainter until nothing remains ex
cept the hiss and chatter of the water
along the side. And they'll sit and watch
the stars reflect and glow in the foam and
listen•to the silence and raise their eyes to
the silently revolving radar antenna. And
a course, low voice will say "Relieve the
watch." And they'll be startled and wonder
if they're really doing this again; If may
be it was someone else who heard that
voice before, who felt the cool spray, and
licked the salt from their lips, and smelled
the odor of many bodies packed in tiers of
steel frames that creaked with each roll.
Maybe the moon will rise and shoot
that pencil of white light from horizon to
horizon. Maybe a squall will blot it out for
a few minutes and wet down the decks
until those decks leave the cloud and the
rain where they found them.
And this time they'll really wonder.
And they'll think, "This should have hap
pened to a later generation."
