DEEP IN THE winter of 1965 the Beatles released an album titled Beatles for Sale that contained such songs as "I'm a Loser," "Baby's in Black," "Mr. Moonlight."

Called up in May, they have since been hiking through the Georgia pinewoods around Fort Benning's ranger school. "We start with physical training at 5;30 in the morning, and we patrol most of the day," details Captain Kenneth Himsel, 30, an insurance executive. "We're not in the army to moonlight...
