Sad Lack of Knowledge
The Duce, with a sad lack of knowledge of what encourages men, hustled out to Albania some time ago to try to get the gear lever of the Italian Army out of Reverse and into Forward. The harassed Wops took one look at the Blackshirt Blackguard who
had put them on the spot, and almost immediately three divisions of them were wiped out by the Greeks while they were thinking
up curses for the man who had betrayed them.
Mussolini, with that mixture of naive arrogance and utter ignorance that distinguishes rogue politician turned amateur soldier, demanded a victory that he could take back to the Italian people “by Saturday.”
All that the Duce could, take back to the 'ltalian people is the news that tens of thousands of their sons and husbands have died in the last week simply because of his murderous senseless ambition.
