Indy and Sign2 - The Monday Morning Memo

“They ought to begin wars with a course in basic training and end them with a course in basic forgetting. The trick is to learn to believe that it’s a disconnected world, a lunatic world, where what is true now was not true then; where Thou Shalt Not Kill and the fact that one has killed a great many men mean nothing, absolutely nothing, for now is the time to raise legitimate children, and make money, and dress properly, and be kind to one’s wife, and admire one’s boss, and learn not to worry, and think of oneself as what? “

- Tom Rath, protagonist of Sloan Wilson's The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit, trying to forget his first day of weapons training, a drill on the lethal use of the bayonet. (1955)
