About three weeks ago, some intercepted cellphone call occurred, and the story went this way....’Ivan’ called back home and noted that he’d arrived at the ‘front’. Boot-camp? Five days, and then put on the bus for the ‘front’. Upon arrival at the ‘front’...that was the first time that they’d handed him a rifle. He still hadn’t fired the weapon or understood all its features.

A guy like this might end up lucky and just survive a year. But statistically, I doubt if he makes it more than 100 days.

"He still hadn't fired the weapon or understood all its features."
I have a friend who saw a lot of combat in Korea (he was the BAR man in his squad). He told me that when they got a new recruit in their unit, the first thing they did was to teach him really how to shoot, because they didn't in Basic.
