Excerpt from The Veteran: And His Pipe Comrade: If you have succeeded in forgetting the impulse that made you, for a time at least, a hero, and regarding your wounds as "poor dumb mouths" that testify of personal peril, rather than the immortal cause in which they were won, you can hardly feel surprise that the veteran is remembered chiefly as a pensioner; heroism regarded only as a claim to public charity, and "the soldier vote" considered a political commodity, to be purchased with the promise of public plunder.
