description The statement, addressed "To all Officers and Enlisted Men," discusses the end of World War I. West acknowledges that many men were disappointed because they did not get to fight, but he asserts that the "millions training behind the lines and in the camps at home in America had as much to do with the winning of the war as the shot and shell on the battle front." He tells the men that it is their "duty as American citizens to help keep" the American flag pure, adding that they should "protect it, and never permit the liberty and justice it represents to be translated into license, or the radicalism we hear so much of," which he considers "worse than autocracy, and far more insidious."
