After Bingo passes his army physical, Mr. Smythe, Bingo and Teddy argue about draft-dodging, which Mr. Smythe considers un-American. Bingo and Teddy defend the people who refuse to fight in an immoral war, but finally agree that if they're drafted, they'll go and fight even though they oppose the war.
