How I got to Germany

"Now, at the end of Basic training, my unit got together so they could read our assignments. It was the Korean war, and I don't think that any of us wanted to go to Korea. The Sergent announced that the A's-L's and part of the M's were going to Germany, and that the rest of us were going to Korea. Now, our last name's [redacted], so I was off the hook. There was no fighting in Germany, and I was pretty happy to stay away from the fighting."
