If there are rack eteers at home, there will be racketeers in the army. - THE point is that the American soldier in continental Europe where money is cheap and commodities are priceless, where nobody has any confidence in the value of money and everybody is trying to exchange - it for things, where the economist's term "flight from money" is a stark and living reality is CON STANTLY surrounded by temp tation.
