Part of "Goal Posts" Train Recruits in Throwing Hand Grenades

Tossing a grenade is not quite like throwing a baseball, U. S. army recruits are told. Havingdelayed-action fuses, the grenades must be hurled with an upward looping, overhand motion. If pitched straight to the target, the enemy might have time to pick up the grenade and fling it back. So the soldiers practice throwing grenades through high wooden frames resembling football goal posts.
