...reply to Letter Writer Charles Rosner, who criticized Truman Capote for having a party...
...first agree that Rosner and his 40 barracks buddies have it rough and may indeed go to Viet Nam. However, does his being in the Army mean that there should be no parties, no merrymaking, no New Year's Eve in the U.S. until Rosner returns? So Truman Capote had a blast. So what? Must we read the trite analogies about the Roman Empire and the U.S. every time somebody has a toot...
...also spent some time in the service (four years in the Marines and three years in the Army, all on active duty), and the world did not stand mournfully weeping because I had to eat C rations. Neither will Rosner mourn eternally for the slobs still in the boondocks once he gets his discharge. At the moment, it is simply his turn in the barrel, just as it was for the boys in Korea before him, and for the boys in World War II before them, ad infinitum...
...suggest that Rosner take it like a man and quit feeling so sorry for himself...
