"
Of
course
not
.
You
'd
paddle
it
.
There
can
be
circumstances
when
it
's
just
as
foolish
to
hit
an
enemy
city
with
an
H-bomb
as
it
would
be
to
spank
a
baby
with
an
ax
.
War
is
not
violence
and
killing
,
pure
and
simple
;
war
is
controlled
violence
,
for
a
purpose
.
The
purpose
of
war
is
to
support
your
government
's
decisions
by
force
.
The
purpose
is
never
to
kill
the
enemy
just
to
be
killing
him
...
but
to
make
him
do
what
you
want
him
to
do
.
Not
killing
...
but
controlled
and
purposeful
violence
.
But
it
's
not
your
business
or
mine
to
decide
the
purpose
or
the
control
.
It
's
never
a
soldier
's
business
to
decide
when
or
where
or
how
--
or
why
--
he
fights
;
that
belongs
to
the
statesmen
and
the
generals
.
The
statesmen
decide
why
and
how
much
;
the
generals
take
it
from
there
and
tell
us
where
and
when
and
how
.
We
supply
the
violence
;
other
people
--
'
older
and
wiser
heads
,
'
as
they
say
--
supply
the
control
.
Which
is
as
it
should
be
.
That
's
the
best
answer
I
can
give
you
.
If
it
does
n't
satisfy
you
,
I
'll
get
you
a
chit
to
go
talk
to
the
regimental
commander
.
If
he
ca
n't
convince
you
--
then
go
home
and
be
a
civilian
!
Because
in
that
case
you
will
certainly
never
make
a
soldier
.

I
think
you

kept
me
talking

Hendrick
,
you
first
.
This
time
I
want
you
to
throw
that
knife
south
of
you

South

get
it
?
Not
north

That
target
is
due
south
of
you
and
I
want
that
knife
to
go
in
a
general
southerly
direction
,
at
least
.
I
know
you
wo
n't
hit
the
target
but
see
if
you
ca
n't
scare
it
a
little
.
Do
n't
slice
your
ear
off
,
do
n't
let
go
of
it
and
cut
somebody
behind
you
--
just
keep
what
tiny
mind
you
have
fixed
on
the
idea
of
'
south
'
!
Ready
on
target
!
Let
fly
!

missed

We
trained
with
sticks
and
we
trained
with
wire
(
lots
of
nasty
things
you
can
improvise
with
a
piece
of
wire
)
and
we
learned
what
can
be
done
with
really
modern
weapons
and
how
to
do
it
and
how
to
service
and
maintain
the
equipment
--
simulated
nuclear
weapons
and
infantry
rockets
and
various
sorts
of
gas
and
poison
and
incendiary
and
demolition
.
As
well
as
other
things
maybe
best
not
discussed
.
But
we
learned
a
lot
of
"
obsolete
"
weapons
,
too
.
Bayonets
on
dummy
guns
for
example
,
and
guns
that
were
n't
dummies
,
too
,
but
were
almost
identical
with
the
infantry
rifle
of
the
XXth
century
--
much
like
the
sporting
rifles
used
in
hunting
game
,
except
that
we
fired
nothing
but
solid
slugs
,
alloyjacketed
lead
bullets
,
both
at
targets
on
measured
ranges
and
at
surprise
targets
on
booby-trapped
skirmish
runs
.
This
was
supposed
to
prepare
us
to
learn
to
use
any
aimed
weapon
and
to
train
us
to
be
on
the
bounce
,
alert
,
ready
for
anything
.
Well
.
I
suppose
it
did
.
I
'm
pretty
sure
it
did
.
557
We
used
these
rifles
in
field
exercises
to
simulate
a
lot
of
deadlier
and
nastier
aimed
weapons
,
too
.
We
used
a
lot
of
simulation
;
we
had

An
"
explosive
"
bomb
or
grenade
,
against
materiel
or
personnel
,
would
explode
just
enough
to
put
out
a
lot
of
black
smoke
;
another
sort
of
gave
off
a
gas
that
would
make
you
sneeze
and
weep
that
told
you
that
you
were
dead
or
paralyzed
...
and
was
nasty
enough
to
make
you
careful
about
anti-gas
precautions
,
to
say
nothing
of
the
chewing
out
you
got
if
you
were
caught
by
it
.
559
We
got
still
less
sleep
;
more
than
half
the
exercises
were
held
at
night
,
with
snoopers
and
radar
and
audio
gear
and
such
.
560
The
rifles
used
to
simulate
aimed
weapons
were
loaded
with
blanks
except
one
in
five
hundred
rounds
at
random
,
which
was
a
real
bullet
.
Dangerous
?
Yes
and
no
.
It
's
dangerous
just
to
be
alive
...
and
a
nonexplosive
bullet
probably
wo
n't
kill
you
unless
it
hits
you
in
the
head
or
the
heart
and
maybe
not
then
.
What
that
one-in-five-hundred
"
for
real
"
did
was
to
give
us
a
deep
interest
in
taking
cover
,
especially
as
we
knew
that
some
of
the
rifles
were
being
fired
by
instructors
who
were
crack
shots
and
actually
trying
their
best
to
hit
you
--
if
the
round
happened
not
to
be
a
blank
.
They
assured
us
that
they
would
not
intentionally
shoot
a
man
in
the
head
...
but
accidents
do
happen
.
