If true, I wonder how many senators’ kids ended up on that working party. <----- I normally don't use those but I thought it was appropriate - too bad there wasn't an ostrich putting his head in the sand. The lengths some go to do avoid dangerous duties. . . I'm sure there weren't many looking to get into the combat engineers to avoid danger (perhaps the ball-turret-gunner equivalent of the ground side!) "Here son, take this bayonet and poke the ground for wooden land mines. Be sure not to start until I'm over in my foxhole."
