"...It seems that a book has just been published in Denmark to your resistant glory..., "micros and slippers"! THERE'S A LOT OF TALK, IT SEEMS, ABOUT YOUR COMMITMENT TO INDOCHINA! Not in the Blabla army! In the tanks! Only you will remain here, fortunately, my God! Dear Master, Minister of War! Oh, your uniform is perfect! I'll decorate you with the military medal, mine, since it was taken away from me! Oh, I fear no one for optimism! THAT MAC ARTHUR, WHAT A NASTY CLAMP! Ah, it's time for you to go over there and "cheer up"! Your faithful observer... "
