Marines certainly should know who would cut and run
I couldn’t disagree more with the criticism leveled at the psychological “trick” employed to determine a Marine Corps recruit’s willingness to enter combat (as you reported on April 30).
These are not school crossing guards being trained, and if they’re going to cut and run, better in a classroom, not abandoning comrades in a life-and-death scenario.
