	I never regarded an army training manual as the final word on ANY
subject. That document is only a sad reflection of the distorted mind that
composed it. Obviously a Republican was in power in 1928 who was terrified that
true democracy might take hold. Weren't we convinced to take part in World War I
with the words "Let's make the world safe for democracy". Were those words
merely propaganda? Is the equation " democracy = communism " valid as stated
in that army manual?
