Gunnar Norberg volunteered to serve in World War II. He was rejected: bad eyesight. Later he was drafted - then rejected: bad eyesight. Eventually the demands of the Great War led to his being drafted again; this time he was inducted - but then could not be assigned to combat overseas. Bad eyesight! First, his skills were tested on camp KP, but that only provided the motivation to be of greater and less unpleasant service to the Army - by explaining Why We Fight, running a camp newspaper, being driven around by the General, forming a football team and symphony orchestra, and even engaging in a little skullduggery now and then! For Gunnar, it was a different kind of war! Here's his memorable memoir, from the home front. . .
