Discipline and dissipation.
Between 1942 and 1945, over 1 million American troops were stationed in England preparing for the D-Day landings. Preparing and procreating, that is. Sensing the invasion wasnít imminent; GIs earned English enmity for being ìoverpaid, overfed, oversexed, and over here.î Push-ups however replaced shacking up with the advent of the D-Day invasion. Discipline replaced dissipation. This might be one way to reframe the Christmas Advent season that has become nothing more than nostalgia.
