Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description:	On the left, a long line of military vehicles filled with soldiers drive down a road. Most of the men have their eyes closed or covered, including the drivers. Several young women, some wearing shorts, sit and stand on the grass at the side of the road. Behind them, a uniformed man holding a microphone gives orders over a loudspeaker, telling the men to close their eyes and not yell at the civilians. General Lear holds a golf club and commands the man with the microphone. Lear, Benjamin, 1879-1966 Image Access WideTEK 25 [in margins: Thursday.
