True story: my father was drafted for the Korean War. Except he's a skilled artist. They put him through 10 weeks of bootcamp and he came out wanting to kill some North Korean gooks with a bayonet... and they then proceeded to put him behind a desk in Ft. Bragg, North Carolina and gave him a pen and ink. A different kind of cockblock I guess.
They drafted him into the U.S. Army's Special Ops command in their new Psychological Warfare division. He was a founding member of that division. His role? A cartoonist. He draw propaganda cartoons that the U.S. Army would drop as leaflets over enemy lines... cartoons depicting the girlfriends of North Korean soldiers getting it on with the neighborhood boys back home while they were on the front lines getting shot at by Americans.
I'll need to ask my dad if he wants to come out of "retirement"...
