Summary of Raymond Gantter's Roll Me Over

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was assigned to serve as an assistant to the orientation officer of my shipment. The officer did not believe in books or theories that did not include a solid, unequivocal QED. He thought the entire Orientation Program was nonsense.

#2 We were in England for only five or six days, and yet the army apparently believed that anti-British sentiment had swept through our group. I was baffled by the accusation of prejudice. I’d heard a few wisecracks, a few sour comments, but I dismissed them as the escape-valve griping of men who were frightened and homesick.

#3 The prejudice I heard from the army was often provoking and sometimes silly, but I maintained that the men had every right to speak their piece. If they believed what they were saying, no officer had the right to tell them that certain things they were saying would not be tolerated.

#4 The next appearance of the safeties was in a parade of virility. With skies that opened and flooded us every day and night, it was difficult to prevent the bore of a rifle from rusting. So, with true Yankee ingenuity, the men used them as rubber caps on the muzzles of their rifles.
