I... or rather, the guys from Kent County who got drafted, we all did some shameful things before we were punitively tossed overseas to rot," Sean said in response to Dennis's question: "We went for the medical examination at the hospital, you know, whether you have to serve or not all depends on the medical report, so a lot of people hoped to get proof that they were unfit for service, and they thought up all kinds of methods."
"Some guys thought about shooting themselves in the thigh, but they were later told that unless they had the guts to use a shotgun with the largest buckshot to blow their leg off, the injury wouldn't affect conscription once healed."
