iafie Qfincipa! ,SEOWLAA DEPENDABLE EXPENDAELES MILITARY LEADER is responsible for the care, the training, the health, the equipment, and the lives of his men. They are to him the material with which he must accomplish his missions. Every military leader knows before he goes into action approximately how much it will cost, in terms of men and equipment, to gain a given objective in a given time. Thai is sometimes expressed in percentages and appears in military analyses as probable percentage of expend- ables. To achieve military ends, it is necessary to make ex- penditures. Not so many months ago we Americans read with pride of th-e exploits of the PT boats which operated off the shores of Ba- taan in Manila Bay and Lingayen Gulf during the campaign there. The title of the book describing the exploits of these men is familiar to all of us- We Were Expendablef' No one who read of all that these boats and their crews went through, can escape the conclusion that the title could with equal justice be rewritten, We Were Dependable. Any leader, military or otherwise, knows that unless exp-endables are dependable, the price paid for any objective is bound to be excessive. An expendable must above all be de'- pendable. The day approaches when we are to be expendables , when upon our qualities of mind and spirit, our strength of will and body, will dep-end the success or failure of our cause. Even at this moment we are all Hexp-endables with grave responsibiliti-es for our own efficiency, faithfulness, determination. But, as the greater duty draws n-earer, as the time approaches when we step forward to fill the places left vacant by the expendables of Bataan and Buna and Guadal , of Casablanca, Gran, and Kas- serine Pass, we must be certain that it can be said of us, They Are Dependable .
