Excerpt from Conscript 2989: Experiences of a Drafted Man
All I can remember about the society is the motto, and there is nothing particularly pleas ant about the recollection, either. But some how to-night that fool phrase comes back to me and makes a pessimist of me right off. I Wonder how pleasant these things are going to be and whether I will want to remember them here after. Perhaps I won't have much choice. I'll probably remember them whether I want to or not. Already my first eight hours of active service as Conscript 2989 have some sharp edges sticking out which I am likely to remember, though many of them are far from pleasant.
