He knocks us down with a <br />pugil stick, a five-foot pole with heavy padding on both ends. We play war with the pugil sticks. We <br />beat each other without mercy. Then Sergeant Gerheim orders us to fix bayonets.<br /> Sergeant Gerheim demonstrates effective attack techniques to a recruit named Barnard, a soft-spoken <br />farm boy from Maine. The beefy drill instructor knocks out two of Private Barnard&#39;s teeth with a rifle <br />butt.<br /> The purpose of the bayonet training, Sergeant Gerheim explains, is to awaken our killer instincts. The <br />killer instinct will make us fearless and aggressive, like animals. If the meek ever inherit the earth the <br />strong will take it away from them. The weak exist to be devoured by the strong. Every Marine must <br />pack his own gear. Every Marine must be the instrument of his own salvation. It&#39;s hard, but there it is.<br /> Private Barnard, his jaw bleeding, his mouth a bloody hole, demonstrates that he has been paying <br />attention. Private Barnard grabs his rifle and, sitting up, bayonets Sergeant Gerheim through the right <br />thigh.<br /> Sergeant Gerheim grunts. Then he responds with a vertical butt stroke, but misses. So he backhands <br />Private Barnard across the face with his fist.<br /> Whipping off his web belt, Sergeant Gerheim ties a crude tourniquet around his bloody thigh. Then <br />he makes the unconscious Private Barnard a squad leader. &quot;Goddamn it, there&#39;s one little maggot who <br />knows that the spirit of the bayonet is to kill! He&#39;ll make a damn fine field Marine. He ought to be a <br />fucking general.&quot;<br /><br /><br /><br />from &quot;The ShortAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991031763372942467.post-74695548395185860262010-03-05T16:43:29.545-05:002010-03-05T16:43:29.545-05:00turbo. rx. 7:04<br /><br />Roll that your Zig-Zag and inhale.Turbo Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15003278242129160851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991031763372942467.post-32951916116901448472010-03-05T13:42:13.296-05:002010-03-05T13:42:13.296-05:00YO!
