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.
