War -Past, Present and Future
Confronted on Eastern Tour
Put Brindle, unknowingly and
m.inti'niloniilly came face-to
i.-ti-e with the aspects of war
u'ur nf ih iinst. present
future during her recent 18 day
May In the Knst.
ivtini was intended as a fam
ilv visit to uti'i-l tho arrival of
a new granddaughter ana to
tour tho various points 01 in
n-fiultcd In an Interest
inw. fast oared and somewhat
disillusioning exiMTlenco.
Mr. Brindle stayed with her
M.n -In-law mid daughter. Capt.
and Mrs. I-onnle Myers and
their daughters at Quantlco
Mn-lne Hase in Virginia. Capt.
Myers is in Amphibious War
fare training and uon comple
tion will he stationed In Okin
awa for a year. Jacqule, his
wife will move her lamuy onm
to Oregon during this time.
Mrs Krindle's third granddau
ghter, Gal.rklle Lynn arrived
May 1 t join Amy Beth 3, and
Nlrhole, 2.
Wur of the past was exhibit
I'd throughout the various mu
scums vislletl In Virginia dis
playing relics of the Civil War.
Historic Landmarks dotted the
Kredrlcksburg and Manassas
Battlegrounds commemorating
tho century -old conflict. The
lour of Mary Washington's
home recalls the Revolution as
his mother's residence was
where George Washington re
sided before he took office as
the nation's first president.
Impressed with the lovely
landscape and dense vegetation,
Mrs. Brindle observed tne ma
pie, oak and tulip trees and the
fragrant blooming dogwood and
cherry trees as she toured the
area. The Arlington cemetery
was among the most notable
tours with the changing of the
guard and the Grave of the Un
known Soldier from World War
I. The constantly visited graves
of Robert and John Kennedy
brings to mind yet another war,
the war of the present the
Vietnam war.
Present
The effects of this war and
the movements resulting were
dramatlcully illustrated as Mrs.
Brindle toured Washington,
D. C, on April 23. Her disillus
ionment stemmed from the ac
tivities as thousands of war
protestors arrived for the May
Day Anti-War Demonstration.
If the protest was for peace,
Mrs. Brindle observed this was
not the tempo of activity dis
played by the participants. The
lack of respect for a nation's
heritage was regretfully made
clear by tho complete disorder
garbage and litter were
strewn everywhere, property
was destroyed, public offices
forcibly occupied, fences and
benches were burned, vehicles
were abandoned and tires slash
ed.
Ecology movement slogans
were Ignored as barrels of gar
bage were hurled Into crowds
which Mrs. Brindle observed
was too much for the sanitation
department who attempted
clean-up. Benches around the
Washington Monument were up
rooted and burned. Therefore,
most landmarks were closed to
the public during this time.
All this completely dlscourug
cd Mrs. Brindle from n return
trip to the nation's capitol. She
had observed tne activities oi
only a partial number of tnc
thousands which were to arrive
for the demonstration, Intent on
stopping the functioning of the
government.
Future
A thought provoking "demon
stratlon" of another sort served
as a blatant reminder of war,
new graduates of the armed
services training programs face
In their future.
This demonstration, appropri
ately called "Mad Moments" is
put on each year by the grad
uating Marine Lieutenants at
Quantico. A battle sponsored by
the American Ordinance Ammu
nition Company is simulated
using live ammo.
Mrs. Brindle along with ap
proximately 1000 spectators was
required to wear helmets and
forbidden to leave the stands
during the two-hour, nighttime
program.
The area becomes a battle
front with the Marines firing
flares and rifles; napalm bombs
exploded; tanks, fighter Jets
and medivac helicopters used
The entire operation is narrated
and the communications be
tween foxholes is broadcast
leaving the audience feeling as
if they had actually been
through a battle.
When recounting her exper
iences, Mrs. Brindle commented
she would like to return to the
nation's capitol, but NOT dur
ing a war-demonstration.
