![["The document is a letter from Joseph A. McGowan, president of I.W. Peterson Corp., protesting the policy of sending insufficiently trained 18 and 19-year-old boys overseas in the Army and Marines. He believes that this policy is discriminatory and has led to significant losses in recent battles. McGowan argues that these young boys are not fit for battle and should not be sent overseas to face the crafty and tricky Japanese enemy. He specifically mentions the 40th Infantry Replacement Draft of the Marines waiting to embark to the Pacific and emphasizes the need for better training before sending young soldiers into combat."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_6_42_0000-Selective%20Service,%201945/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_6_42_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Protest Against Sending Undertrained Boys Overseas")
