    Bill Mauldin had a Willie and Joe cartoon that showed the two relaxing, unkempt as usual, by a building with a sign that said "Rest Camp." Standing over them was a burly spitshined MP with a holstered .45 who was wearing jump boots. The caption was, "We call 'em Garritroopers." In appreciation some Airborne guys sent Mauldin a pair of jump boots but he never wore them because he felt he hadn't earned the right to.
