“...when the enemy heard that I was headed for the Pacific, they surrendered. That was the end of World War II.”

Tell that to the Marines.

Timing is everything it seems. Like Barker my uncle was trained up and the war ended before he was ever deployed. The difference is my uncle signed up in 1942 and was sent by the Army to college to become a petroleum engineer and had to agree to a four year post degree commitment to serve. The war ended right before he graduated and by the time he got out Truman was drastically cutting troops so the Army waiver his requirements for four years beyond graduation and discharged him. Timing is everything, as I said.
