Elorida'S Congressman George
Smathers has been asked to in
vestigate why Q Miami youth Of
only II was killed in Korea less
than five months after he had
enlisted in the army.
This incident is one Of many
Too many green troops without
any training at all have been sent
to battle which IS nothing
short Of criminal @- --AA s.sH
Ordinarily we do not think the
military should be hamstrung by
politics - either from the White
House or Congress. But we do
believe the men who have charge
Of planning our army should make
1t mandatory that troops going
into combat be given enough
training to be able to protect
themselves.
Nor do we think that II and
18-year-olds should be sent to for
eign countries even for occupation
duties Immediately after enlist
ment. These kids, and some of
them are really babies, are too
young to take on the responsible
Atty of representing the United
States abroad. Many of them Ii
terally 60 wild - with wine, wo-
men and song. To say nothing of
the always prevalent black mar
ket and its temptations.
We know a lot of these youths
ask for foreign duty but most
of them are too immature to dis
charge the obligations incurred.
America abroad is judged by
the forces we send to represent US
We need mature military person
mel of sound judgment to do the
job.
Eventually in the United Stat
es we will accept the reality OF
war and enact permanent compul'
sorry military training. We are
the only major nation in the
world not having it. In fact, we
are one of the few nations not hav.
ing it, period. Most countries
regardless of size, require at least
year of compulsory military
training for their male citizens.
But in the United States we
just fight the wars and 60 OF

THROUGH
HAZEL
EYES

Since the war with Korea
started we have been racking
our brains trying to find some
good that could come out of it !.
and put our views in an editorial
entitled THE Road Ahead Is Not
Rosy" on which many of our read
ers were kind enough to comment
favorably.
One Of our nationally known
columnists this week said the Ko-
rean War has convinced the Unit
ed States military planners of
one important fact, namely, that
it is foolhardy to get embroiled in
a war with Asia's limitless pool
Of manpower - for the more ORR
entails killed in battle the more
men rise up to take their place.
The military men realize, so the
columnist says, this kind of war
could absorb all our energies for
decades.
It has been pointed out that al
though North Korean casualties
are estimated at more than 100, 900
men still they have about $50, 900
troops the same approximate
number they had in the beginning
Of the war.
We hope this columnist is cor
rect - that our military planners
realize how futile it would be for
the United States to fight Asia -
even though we would have the
total moral support of the United
Nations and perhaps, token mi
litary force from some of the ma
tions that comprise UN member
ship.
All of the people of the United
States know now just what our
participation in the United Ma
tons means - that not only do
we carry the burden of the organi-
cation economically but that we
must form the bulwark of its mi
litary support.
II we realize the stupendous
proportions of our task through
the debacle of the Korean War -
then it has not been fought en-
tirely in vain.
