 Army Training Manual No. 2000-25 was withdrawn after less than five years in print.

the Soldier’s Training Manual of 1928. The government used to give training manuals to soldiers, teaching them that democracy was evil, in a republican form of government. One column gives the definition of democracy, as it was defined in 1928. President Roosevelt had all these training manuals destroyed so that he could institute a democracy. That’s his New Deal — communism.

Issued by the United States War Department on November 30, 1928, The Soldiers Training Manual offered instruction on the topic of Citizenship. Its intent was to prepare soldiers that they "may be returned to civilian life better equipped as the defenders of the institutions of our Government in time of peace as well as in time of war."

A primary purpose of the manual was to impart knowledge of our republican form of government, and an understanding of the many ways it is superior to a democracy. The following definitions were published by the authority of the United States Government to differentiate between our Republic and a democracy.

Republic

Authority is derived through election by the people of public officials best fitted to represent them. Attitude toward property is respect for laws and individual rights, and a sensible economic procedure. Attitude toward law is the administration of justice in accord with fixed principles, and established evidence, with a strict regard to consequences. A greater number of citizens and extent of territory may be brought within its compass. Avoids the dangerous extreme of either tyranny or mobocracy. Results in statesmanship, liberty, reason, justice, contentment, and progress.

Democracy

A government of the masses. Authority is derived through mass meeting or any other form of direct expression. Results in mobocracy. Attitude toward property is communistic, negating property rights. Attitude toward law is that the will of the people shall regulate, whether it be based upon deliberation, or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences. Results in demagoguery, license, agitation, discontent, and anarchy.

For reasons unknown, at the onset of the Great Depression Franklin Delano Roosevelt issued orders that all copies of Training Manual 2000-25 be withdrawn from the Government Printing Office and the Army posts, and that they be suppressed and destroyed without explanation. While this indeed occurred, several copies survived in private ownership and still change hands today.

Can anyone explain the utility of eliminating this specific citizenship training from our military?

What would the new Democrat administration have gained from this?
