Dan is right about the dept of civilian marksmanship (DCM), which has been deflated to the Civilian Marksmanship Program, probably destined for extermination when the surplus rifle supply runs out. (Mandatory WW I content: NRA instructors were called upon to teach the doughboys 'cause in '17 the army didn't have enough rifles, ranges, or instructors; same thing in WW II--hey, we don't learn too fast, do we?)
Third Amendment: Mao's Little Red Book insisted that guerrillas (who swim among the people as fish swim in water) remember to replace doors on their hinges after RONing at peasant homes. Not much of a mattress but I guess it beats sleeping in the paddy.
Semi-related content on quartering of troops. Remember Bob Hope's old Revolutionary War skit with the luscious Ann Margret? He says, "Yes sir, she's a real patriot. I know because at 3 o'clock this morning she declared her independence."
Two rimshots and a cymbal...
