This is the actual problem involved in Catch 22 which is in regard to Draftees.
If you want to throw up around all this and then laugh your ass off as someone flies through a person with a plane propeller and their legs are just standing there without a body (in the original cut) you might experience the complete and total insanity of the draft in the first place and why it was ended.
