Arms and ammo are drawn from the armory room when folks go on duty and taken back to the armory after duty. Do you think that they take them to town with them when they get off?

In a combat area, that duty period might go on for quite some time, but if the guys are released from duty, they put away their arms accordingly.

Do you figure that those who are in the Army are stupid? I would like to think that if I had been fortunate enough to go to college instead of being faced with the draft, I would have come through it all with respect for the service of those who DID serve. In my case college had to wait.
