the ''pantywaist'* aspects of its basic training program. v The army never gave an of- > flclal reason for Us decision to train recruits te be fighting men Instead of “gentlemen soldiers," > but It was probable that lessons learned In the early days of the i Korean fighting were responsible. U. S. field officers refuse to say . anything publicly about the problems* created by the "career guidance program" of the peacetime army. Off the record, however, they'll tell you of the lack of discipline in many Instances and the dearth of. non-coms with leadership qualities. s ” •* ■ Tin (Its who have been under fire realise too that it's., more Impurtaat to be "toughened . up" at some training camp in the states than it Is on the battlefield "with ! them Uooks shooting real bullets "

The soldiers still think the career guidance program baa Us potato but generally they object to baring non-commissioned rankings on a man's ability to play the piccolo or operate a radar set. They realise that non-coms are the backbone of a fighting force and ratings from corporal to lop sergeant should be held by men who can give orders and have them obeyed without hesitation. “ Officers in particular have complained about discipline under fire and mentioned the numerous "stragglers" in the surly days es the fighting. There are stragglers In every war. but some field officers believe there were more than there should have been and. they blamed it oa the soil life of occupation in Japan and the lack es rigid discipline under the “panty waist" scheme of the "peacetime army."
