the drummer boys use was to warn officers when some one was attacking them,to call officers when somebody needed helpThe drummer boys drummed orders to the troops and were a vital part of battle communication, but many of them were killed because fire was aimed at them to stop the orders from getting to troops. There are reports of some when the drums were destroyed they picked up a gun and fought. The average age of the drummer boy was about 12. Drumming wasn't the only thing the boys did. While in camp they would carry water, rub down horses, gather wood and cook. There is evidence that one was a barber for the troops when he wasn't drumming. They also helped carry wounded off the field or assisted in burial details.

He refused to salute him, felt he knew better on how to fight the war than the President, he did not feel he had to take orders from the Civilian Commander in Chief, he wanted to start WW III with China, by dropping atomic bombs on China after they invaded North Korea. General MacArthur disobeyed the orders of President Harry Truman, and finally President Truman had no choice but to fire him and replace him with another Allied United Nations American General to end the Korean War in an Armistice in 1953. President Truman was correct. It would have a terrible mistake to start a nuclear World War Three on account of the Korean War, which is what General Douglas MacArthur wanted.
Because he didn't want to start world war 3.
1951, on the 11th of April.

The British fired first after they were confronted by an angry mob.
General MacArthur interfered with political decisions of President Truman
At a guess! Fire (as asked in the rather obscure question) could be the shouted command of 'Fire' to order troops to begin shooting.
Veterans are just like anyone else, and usually work in the field of training they received in the military. Many veterans don't like to bring attention to themselves so you could be working next to or for one and not know it. There are a large number of veterans in both the police and fire departments.
