About Letter 249

While covering a football game in Stuttgart Bill's motor pool jeep is stolen. He expresses his disillusionment saying, "this Europe stinks. I'm sure getting fed up with it all. The only business that I really know is the fine art of human extermination. That is one helluva purpose in life." He sends home several "Son's of Bitche" cards. In closing, as if to punctuate his foul mood he makes several sarcastic remarks about people at home in California.
