  None Other Than a Soldier

  As a newly commissinaed infantry lieutenant, I was eager to set an example for my platoon by cleaning my own M-16 rifle. While we were working on the weapons, one soldier complained about the unusual notched shape of the M-16's bolt and chamber, which makes it difficult to clean.

  "Lieutenant, they need to make something to clean this with," the soldier said.

  "They do," piped up a sergeant.

  "Really," I said with surprise, wondering why we had not ordered such a tool.

  "Yes, sir," replied the sergeant. "It's called a soldier."
