個人的に軍隊経験から学んだ最も重要なこと

When I entered the Army, the Provost Marshall read the Army Regulation to the recruits. If a soldier broke any rules it could lead to court martial, eg. a raping, killing, stealing, hurting innocent civilian or soldier...etc. During my military life and after discharge, and all my life, I have abided by that law firmly.

その他の情報

In the Army, I experienced some remarkable soldier(s) - who were helpful, always smiling and never complained even appreciated there's water available, and even sacrificed their lives to help others. Such experiences helped me all my life. I have said all I want in the above few lines. Oh, I want to add one or two lines more. We should be liberal, cosmopolitan. We should be unbiased because I learned there's good and bad people in every race. I was wounded during European campaign and was hospitalized until war was over.
