HOOK (first 3 seconds spoken):
Soldiers would intentionally load their weapons with blanks and then fall asleep

FULL SCRIPT:
Soldiers would intentionally load their weapons with blanks and then fall asleep as part of the training. They did this because the enemy could attack at night, snatching the weapons and killing them before they could wake up. To prevent this, the commanders trained them by secretly pulling the rifles from their hands, sharpening their instincts, and teaching them to hold
