Men det finns ett annat syfte, som går djupare. Genom uniformen är det meningen att jämna ut allt det individuella i en person. En beväring får inte tänka att han är någonting unikt. Han är som alla andra. Den sanningen upprepas jämnt av stampersonalen. Ingen får extra behandling. Där är arméns demokrati. Eller bättre sagt, ingen får extra behandling för att vara ens den individ som han är. Nog finns det privilegierade klasser, men det är klasser, inte individer. Klasserna är märkta på uniformen med gradbeteckningarna. Underbefälet har längre fritid än manskapen. Aspiranterna och sergeanterna äter skilt, stampersonalen vid dukade bord. Det här jämlikheten sett nedifrån. Alla vänner och fiender är likställda. Man skall känna sammanhålling med de som bär samma uniform och vara beredd att döda dem som har olik uniform, oberoende av hurudan människa bor i uniformen. Annars skulle det vara omöjligt att göra det ena eller det andra.
ellauri031.html on line 153: Det här har stor betydelse när beväringar har befälsrätt över varandra. Det händer sällan att en avdelning utan vidare lyder en jägare som är äldst i avdelningen. Samma avdelning lyder en undersergeant, i alla andra avseenden lika jämställd med dem, men som bär vinklar på uniformen. Enligth reglemente har båda likadan befälsrätt,men endast den senare har auktoritet.
ellauri031.html on line 157: Jag har bevittnat ett par episoder som tyder på detta. En nybakad undersergeant - en snäll pojke som studerade att bli präst - uppmanade avdelningen att hålla takten. Till sin otur sade han 'nå hej' istället för den gängse 'nåja'. Reaktionen var inte den väntade: häpet och lite generat skratt, otaliga upprepningar av ordern i olika stilar och röstlägen, liksom för att smaka på det nya uttrycket - men ingen förbättring i takten. En annan gång skulle en jägare leda avdelningen in i kompaniet. Han sade mycket civilt och vänligt nog "följ mej" och satt iväg. Klart att resultatet bara var storskratt.
ellauri109.html on line 541: In March, 1959, The New Yorker published Roth’s story “Defender of the Faith,” in which a Jewish enlisted man tries to manipulate a Jewish sergeant into giving him special treatment out of ethnic kinship. Various rabbis and Jewish community leaders accused Roth of cultural treason. “What is being done to silence this man?” Emanuel Rackman, the president of the Rabbinical Council of America, wrote. “Medieval Jews would have known what to do with him.”

ellauri184.html on line 48: During his time in the Philippines, Mailer was first assigned to regimental headquarters as a typist, then assigned as a wire lineman. In early 1945, after volunteering for a reconnaissance platoon, he completed more than two dozen patrols in contested territory, and engaged in a few firefights and skirmishes. After the Japanese surrender, he was sent to Japan as part of the army of occupation, was promoted to sergeant, and became a first cook and argued about his girth.
ellauri219.html on line 592: Following the surrender of Japan, Rawls became part of General MacArthur's occupying army and was promoted to sergeant. But he became disillusioned with the military when he saw the aftermath of the atomic blast in Hiroshima. Rawls then disobeyed an order to discipline a fellow soldier, "believing no punishment was justified," and was "demoted back to a private." Disenchanted, he left the military in January 1946.
ellauri300.html on line 508: While sergeants played a marching tune
ellauri369.html on line 359: As a boy, Teufelsdröckh was left in a basket on the doorstep of a childless couple in the German country town of Entepfuhl ("Duck-Pond"); his father a retired sergeant of Frederick the Great and his mother a very pious woman, who to Teufelsdröckh´s gratitude, raises him in utmost spiritual discipline. In very flowery language, Teufelsdröckh recalls at length the values instilled in his idyllic childhood, the Editor noting most of his descriptions originating in intense spiritual pride. Teufelsdröckh eventually is recognized as being clever, and sent to Hinterschlag (slap-behind) Gymnasium. While there, Teufelsdröckh is intellectually stimulated, and befriended by a few of his teachers, but frequently bullied by other students. His reflections on this time of his life are ambivalent: glad for his education, but critical of that education´s disregard for actual human activity and character, as regarding both his own treatment and his education´s application to politics. While at University, Teufelsdröckh encounters the same problems, but eventually gains a small teaching post and some favour and recognition from the German nobility. While interacting with these social circles, Teufelsdröckh meets a woman he calls Blumine (Goddess of Flowers; the Editor assumes this to be a pseudonym), and abandons his teaching post to pursue her. She spurns his advances for a British aristocrat named Towgood. Teufelsdröckh is thrust into a spiritual crisis, and leaves the city to wander the European countryside, but even there encounters Blumine and Towgood on their honeymoon. He sinks into a deep depression, culminating in the celebrated Everlasting No, disdaining all human activity. Still trying to piece together the fragments, the Editor surmises that Teufelsdröckh either fights in a war during this period, or at least intensely uses its imagery, which leads him to a "Centre of Indifference", and on reflection of all the ancient villages and forces of history around him, ultimately comes upon the affirmation of all life in "The Everlasting Yea". The Editor, in relief, promises to return to Teufelsdröckh´s book, hoping with the of his assembled biography to glean some new insight into the philosophy. Wow, sounds a lot like Carlyle´s personal biography, lightly camouflaged?

xxx/ellauri250.html on line 556: Bukowski's parents met in Andernach following World War I. His father was German-American and a sergeant in the United States Army serving in Germany after the empire's defeat in 1918. He had an affair with Katharina, a German friend's sister, and she subsequently became pregnant. Bukowski repeatedly claimed to be born out of wedlock, but Andernach marital records indicate that his parents married one month before his birth. Afterwards, Bukowski's father became a building contractor, set to make great financial gains in the aftermath of the war, and after two years moved the family to Pfaffendorf (today part of Koblenz). However, given the crippling postwar reparations being required of Germany, which led to a stagnant economy and high levels of inflation, he was unable to make a living and decided to move the family to the U.S. On April 23, 1923, they sailed from Bremerhaven to Baltimore, Maryland, where they settled.
