Gone To Be A Soldier
Would you answer the call if it came in a envelope one day? Say a scenario developed where the West was really at war with some fearsome organised brutes like the Nazis? Would you go to be a soldier? or do a runner?

I can get called for active duty till I turn 60. Probably they wouldn't put me scouting behind enemy lines anymore, even though that is what I originally was trained for.
