Armed Forces Soldiers
Description
The physical equipment of a soldier is almost as important as his mental, and so the United States has arranged a kit with the best assortment of necessary articles furnished to any soldier in the world. It contains towels, soap, comb and brush, toothbrush, water bottle, moss dishes, and a few other articles which pack together into a small space. These have to be kept in good order for they are regularly inspected. To facilitate this inspection the kits and contents are spread out on the ground. That the ground is wet and puddles of water are standing in many places does not make any difference. Cleanliness and neatness, even under adverse circumstances, are one of the first requisites of a soldier. If it does not come naturally to a recruit the acquired characteristic develops rapidly under military discipline.
