Citizens Military Training Camps Budget Dispute
The budget bureau proposes cutting next year's camps to 29 000 recruits from 40 000, saving 660 000 dollars, a move critics say harms military efficiency and social welfare. Past attendance rose from 10 000 in 1921 to 34 000 in 1924. supporters view camps as citizenship and social discipline training beyond pure military tech.
