Discussing the differences in the American soldier in this war compared to soldiers in prior wars; discussing changes in attitudes and relationships between commanders and their troops; discussing "a new kind of warfare;" saying that for the first time in history, an army has undertaken a twofold mission--to defeat the enemy and by help, instruction and example to give a hard-pressed, defeated and often double-crossed people, the courage, the pride, the economy and the ability to defend themselves. That this has been spearheaded by the Army, backed up by the civilian agencies is the new thing, the hopeful thing and the only thing that can possibly succeed."
