A Viet Nam Christmas Lay him low, lay him low, In the clover or the snow, What care he, he cannot know. And those who live, perhaps, suffer the supreme agony. They here this Christmas are apart from their people. And, although one can protect himself from flak in a foxhole, loneliness penetrates all armor. Separation wounds all.

By TOM TIEDE Newspaper Enterprise Assn. SAIGON (NEA) Neither silent nor holy is Christmas in this of war. There is no calm, no peace. But ravaged plains, And burning towns and ruined swains, And broken limbs and dying groang, And widow's tears and orphan's moans. But is it so different than it has always been? Even that year, when a Prince of Peace was born into a kingdom of combat, there was torment and suffering over the land.

One man would enslave another. There was greed and sadism. Few nations understood the other. It has always been thus. At Jerusalem, at Gettysburg, at Flanders, Bataan.

At the la Drang Valley in Viet Nam. And. almost apologetically men celebrate each time the birth of one who above all others loathed man's destruction of himself. Do not men die fast enough, he must have wondered, Without destroying each other? Is any man insensible to the brevity of life? And can he, who knows, think it too long? His answer, of course, will be reflected by a star in the East here this Christmas. but it will be fogged by the smoke of battle.

And that is the irony; that each man here will have no other light to guide him but dim lessons mislearned in history. He will pray, the soldier, for peace. But he will approach the altar with his weapon. He, that figure of any man in khaki, wrapped in heavy gear, no brightness anywhere about it except the light of its eyes. Its face lined.

Its shoulders weighted. Its step slow and disciplined. Its heart heavy. Its body weary. Yes, always thus.

At Valley Forge, at Normandy, at Pork Chop Hill. And at Plei Me, Viet Nam. Devout man shrinks from accepting the responsibility of war. But he accepts the responsibility of improving it. Battles, in this age are transacted by machines ever more perfect.

We move faster, hit harder. We advance destruction artificially. But we die as before and grieve as men have always grieved. Newspaper Enterprise Tiede Christmas, 1965, 12,000 miles from home, will be neither silent nor holy. Man is a slave to his rifle.

But still he believes, he hopes. He bows his head this Christmas and asks that his cause be just. For whether on the scaffold high, Or in the battle's van, The fittest place where man can die, Is where he dies for man. Army officer gets Gen.
