[Ads-l] "Put the bads on someone"

[Wilson Gray]

Used in the Army, in the early '60's, equivalent to

"put a/the hurt on someone"

in Cassell's. The _bads_ version may be there, too, but the page is
unavailable in GB. The "hurt" version is also familiar to me as GI slang.

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
