Stanley Frankel didn\'t want to be a soldier.
Frankel served from 1941 to 1946, and was then ordered to stay on after the war.
While in the army, he wrote journal entries, letters to his dear Irene, and articles that slipped past the censor to be published in newspapers and magazines in the US while the war was raging.
The leader of college protests against the US entering WWII found himself in the 37th Infantry Division, shipped to the Pacific Theater.
But the draft board had different plans.
