re: #260 The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge

Anyone who volunteered for Federal Service (not “The Military”) had to be accepted. As the desk sergeant told Juan Rico: “Somebody could come in here in a wheelchair and blind in both eyes and I’d have to find them something to do—counting the hairs on a caterpillar by touch, maybe.” And at the end of his service, he’d be a citizen. Those godawful movies had nothing to do with the book.

I updated that later in the thread.
