Review of Carl Webb Goes AWOL

This little bit made me want to hear more. I would have waited in the car to listen to the rest.
However, I don't have much sympathy for the main character. Maybe there's a more elaborate reason for his desertion later on in the piece, but why does someone concerned with self-preservation join the army? This didn't make sense to me. I need to hear more about what went through his head when he was called up.
