General Baldwin had barely arrived in the forward area when a sniреr's bullet removed a button from his shirt.
He threw himself to the ground in terror.
The men stood around with the greatest unconcern.
The general yelled at a passing sergeant.
"Hey, isn't somebody going to кill that dамnеd sniреr?"
The sergeant looked down at the general and replied:
"I guess not, general.
We're scared that if we кill him the enemy will replace him with somebody who really knows how to shoot."
