原美军四星上将鲍威尔初任排长期间,在一次执行任务时,不慎将手枪丢失。当时,他吓得发呆,因为丢失武器可是件了不得的事情。正当他急得团团转的时候,连长米勒上尉把枪送到他的面前,并告诉他枪是在一群孩子中间找到的.而且已打出一发子弹。说完就转身走了。后来鲍威尔得知,手枪是他掉在房间里了,米勒上尉之所以编造出孩子们捡枪的故事,目的是为了吓唬和告诫他今后要小心谨慎一点,别再毛手毛脚的。之后,米勒上尉从未再提及这件事。 Powell, formerly the four-star U.S. general, volunteered to lose his pistol during his first task as a platoon leader. At that time, he was in a trance, because the loss of weapons is an incredible thing. As he was in a hurry, Captain Miller sent a gun to him and told him that the gun was found among a group of children, and that a round of ammunition had been launched. Finish and turned away. Powell later learned that the pistol was in his room and that Captain Miller had compiled the story of the children picking up the gun in order to scare and warn him that he should be cautious in the future. After that, Captain Miller never mentioned it again.
