In the last third of my working years before retiring, I worked in eldercare, and one of those I helped care for was a chemist who had worked on the Manhattan Project. After the war, he went to Oxford to study, and he was asked by a registrar, "Can you tell me how it is, that you, an apparently healthy young man, somehow managed to avoid military service during a major conflict?". Without batting an eye, he replied, "I built the A-bomb".
I agree wholeheartedly. Full disclosure: it is VERY LONG and I only got 2/3 through
