There's No Way I'm Dying!

Anson relished the fact that when his ROTC instructors returned tests, they were not graded with the customary A, B, C, D, or F, but instead either "Alive" or "Dead."  Anson always graded out "Alive," and he enjoyed mocking the cadets who had perished. 

During one war games drill, Anson and other underclassmen in his unit were scripted to be killed by the junior and seniors, but Anson refused and ran off into the hills, much to the chagrin of his superior officers.  "I wasn't a very cooperative soldier," Anson says.  "I told them, 'There's no fucking way I'm going to die.  I'm an expert in guerilla warfare.  There's no way any of those guys is frying my ass.  I'm immortal.'"

Cadet Dorrance was court-martialed for not dying.
