My most memorable episode has Sgt. Saunders wounded and the medic injects morphine as a pain killer and tags him as such. As he is moved towards the rear, his tag comes off and when he gets to the hospital tent is injected again. Saunders wakes up and is tripping his brains out. He commandeers a motorcycle and takes a very high adventure through war torn Germany.....
"The government ruling us draws its authority not from the principles of the Declaration of Independence, or even from the delegate powers listed in the U.S. Constitution, but rather from the war to re-conquer the independent South. That conflict, usually referred to by the artfully misleading title Civil War, established the fact that the government in Washington is willing to kill Americans in whatever quantity it deems necessary in order to enforce its edicts, and then sanctify the slaughter in the name of some suitably progressive social objective.
