Advice to the Homesick

Roundup, U.S. soldiers' newspaper in Delhi, India, spoke earthy words against homesickness: "All you jerks want to return to the States because of some woman. This type of thinking, gents, is a snare and a delusion. . . . Now she's probably driving a six-by-six truck. When you get back . . .

that nice smooth back will have so many muscles that she will look like Jim Londos or the rear view of a General Grant.
