What is No Flags Flying No Bands Playing about?
This story was tailored in length (1500 words) for Colliers as a short-short. I then tried it on the American Legion magazine-and was scolded for suggesting that the treatment given our veterans was ever less than perfect. I then offered it to several SF editors-and was told that it was not a science fiction story. (Gee whiz and Gosh wollickers! -- space warps and FTL are science but therapy and psychology are not. I must be in the wrong church.)But this story does have a major sho rtcorning, one that usually is fatal. Try to spot it. I will put the answer just after the end.
