In the great Woody Allen comedy, Love and Death, Allen plays a Russian nebbish who is celebrated for his heroism when, after hiding in a cannon during a battle, he gets fired into the Napoleonic command tent, taking down four enemy generals and thereby winning the battle.

Next time, go with JFK, who was asked about being a war hero and answered, "It was involuntary. They sank my boat."

Mayn years ago, before I understood what a liberal scumbag Allen is, I watched that film. I must say it was a really great comedy, especially if you’ve read War and Peace, which it parodies.
