Schwabe, a member of the House of Representatives, to attorney George B. Smith discussing the training and deployment of 17 and 18-year-old boys in the military. The War Department's policy prioritizes older men for combat roles due to the need for infantry replacements. Schwabe expresses disagreement with this policy and shares a letter from the House Committee on Military Affairs explaining the reasoning behind it. The document provides details on the military's training and deployment strategies for young recruits. Text
