Private Jones was assigned to the Army induction centre, where he was to advise
new recruits about their government benefits, especially their Serviceman's
Group Life Insurance (SGLI).
It wasn't long before the centre's lieutenant noticed that Private Jones had
almost a 100 per cent record for insurance sales, which had never happened

you have SGLI and go into battle and are killed, the government has to pay

and get killed, the government has to pay only a maximum of $6,000."
"Now," he concluded, "which bunch do you think they are going to send into battle first?"
