Accidentally drinking methanol and then going blind. You panic and attempt to make youre way to a hospital only to accidentally walk into an army recruitment office, where you think you are filling out insurance papers but actually signing up for the Army. You are told by a particularly evil recruitment officer that you need to be airlifted to a "special facility" to get treatment for methanol poisoning, but end up being sent to Iraq as a sharpshooter! You are then captured by Iraqi Insurgents and held for ransom, then eventually getting shot because youre government doesnt negotiate with terrorists over POW's, especially useless blind ones like myself.
