Making a soldier out of a civilian
does more than change the clothes he
wears. 1t changes the man. Men
who had never owned a revolver
or rife, who had never even shot one
on, who had never killed anything in
their lives, were given firearms. They
were drilled. taught to shoot, taught
to kill. The education was thorough
and scientific. They learned to look
down the sight Of = rife, pick out
human heart for target, fire and
eagerly watch for the man to fall.
They were trained to rush madly at

onets into mems heads and bowels.
