TEACH EN- TO DUCK
Sacramento Union)

(SacramentO UnlOn)
That's quite an idea that the army
brains at Camp Hunter Liggett had the
other day-the one about using "a little
live ammunition to make sham battles
more realistic and to make the soldiers
use more caution in defending themselves.
1t would be just about as sensible to
have the soldiers fire real bullets at one
another in order to learn how to protect
themselves, as it would be to sprinkle
tacks along the highways in order to
teach drivers how dangerous it is to have
blowouts while travelling at high rate
of speed.
The army brains of the Give ammuni-
ton school of thought, of course, would
use real bullets in the ratio of one in
every 10000. That means our draftees
must run the gauntlet of two lotteries.
First the drawing to see who has to go
into training at S21 a month; then the
drawing to see which one gets the live
bullet in his back.
1t seems to us that the youths of Amer
lea face enough perils in this war-mad
world without being ordered to blaze
away at one another with what might
turn out to be real bullets
And it therefore is highly reassuring
to note that Lieutenant General Hugh
A. Drum, commander of the first army,
has branded the idea of using live bullets
as "just dream stuff.
