Dear Editor:
I have heard many reports and
witnessed outcomes of many threats
of this subject: That is, when a
soldier "goes off the track,¡± so to
speak, in a rear echelon outfit he is
warned that he will be sent to an
infantry combat unit, Since when
are the fine and respectable traditions of the infantry lowered to
the point that it is used as a weapon
to inflict punishment
for a misdemeanor ?
I'll admit that the combat intantry unit is a dangerous job in time
of war, but it should not be imposed
on people as punishment.
Persons
responsible
for
these
forceful
transfers should
be deprived of the authority to do so. The
old custom of extra duty is still the
right punishment for a fault too
small to bring about court-martial.
I hardly see how any American
officer or other responsible person
can send a fellow American into a
dangerous
territory
which
could
possibly mean his death for a simple fault as punishment.

Dear Editor:
I sometimes wonder whether the

intelligent, he
shouldn¡¯t write or speak at all¡ª

just to get your name in the paper.
In numerous articles it is very audible that such is the case. I can
refer you to one specific instance:
