This reminds me of the time I was in the service during the Vietnam War, but I had a soft office job and never served in the war directly (and would not even venture any thots of volunteering for such an assignment).

Anyway, several buddies and I were sent to a special training class (office related) in downtown and, in attendance, were other soldiers from other bases for same training.

One guy that we got to chat with told us that he would love going to war, had volunteered, and was turned down 3 times. And, he was going to volunteer again because he hated his desk job.

Buddies and I tried to avoid him thereafter fearing we would catch the fever. We certainly thot he was nuts, but then, America needs those kind of people too.

Never kept in touch so don’t know if he ever was sent.
