Game
You're not putting yourself in that sort of danger! You continue to shirk duties for the rest of the war, and your time is spent mostly in boring trench work. You return home, and marry your childhood sweetheart.
Sam, on the other hand, captured two German soldiers as prisoners, and became a decorated war hero. Two years after the raid, he died in the field.
A part of you regrets not going, but hey, you're alive and Sam isn't. I guess it was a wise decision?
