I think part of the reason why he got away with it in this situation was specifically because of the time period, where bomber crews had something like a 30%+ casualty rate. So the general was like, "I don't even care if he wears a uniform at this point, as long as he can fly a plane. We need every man we can get."

Alan Arkin Catch-22, a tv series based on WW2 book
"I don't care if he's punished or not! He just won a medal!" Pinning his medal on his hat killed me.
I like how the message from the Lt Colonel through the General changed from "Swears he will never wear his uniform again" to "In the laundry" lol
“Why aren’t you wearing clothes, son?” “i no wanna ”
"You've got balls of steel, son."
For those who don’t understand, the story was changed to protect him from what would have happened if the military found out that he no longer desired to wear the uniform after his service. So, making up a story about his laundry being washed was just something to throw out there because the real reason would have a negative impact.
@JessiD618 No, this is from Catch-22, a tv series based on a book. It's a sort of dark comedy satire. The book author was an actual bomber pilot in the war, though, so I'm sure it is to some extent loosely based on his experiences. It's a great book. I don't think it really translates well to film, but they did as good a job as I think could be done with the TV series.

As a civilian, you gotta get real good at bullshitting. “Yes ma’am as part of a mortar squad I excelled in use of geometry, time management, attention to detail, working under pressure, communication skills, transportation of hazardous materials, and leadership.”
Eugene Sledge was, in fact, highly qualified and intelligent. Graduated with a degree in biology and became a professor of biology.
