"Red Malcolm the Unthinkable Nihilist" GR 64

[Rob Jackson]

... When Little was examined in 1943 for the draft, military  
physicians classified him as "mentally disqualified for military  
service". He later recalled that he put on a display to avoid the  
draft by telling the examining officer that he could not wait to  
"steal us some guns, and kill us [some] crackers." His approach  
worked; his classification ensured he would not be drafted. ...

Cf. Slothrop's "last chance for a Section 8" (GR 114) in his attempt  
to dupe the doctors with his 'Kenosha Kid variations' at St Veronica's.

with best wishes
