People tagging my Star Trek: TOS seasons 1-3 posts with "Bones didn't sign up for any of this shit": Technically incorrect. Bones may have been unaware of the true depth and breadth of the shit but he definitely officially signed up for some of it through Starfleet service contract.
People tagging my Star Trek: The Motion Picture through the first two thirds of The Search For Spock posts with "Bones didn't sign up for any of this shit": Technically correct! Bones was drafted via a little-known service reactivation clause, intimating that he had no idea of this possibility when he signed up way back when and probably considered being forcibly beamed back onto the Enterprise after several years in retirement to be kidnapping rather than actively signing up for this shit. Even though due diligence is the responsibility of the signer, it could be argued that that this was an unforeseeable consequence. Whether it could be argued that it was a foreseeable consequence if Bones had ever met Jim Kirk is another story.
People tagging my end of The Search for Spock through The Undiscovered Country posts with "Bones didn't sign up for any of this shit": At the end of The Search For Spock, Bones says "I choose the danger" in an official capacity in front of several witnesses. Now, whether he is coerced, in his right mind (as well as someone else's) or whether this statement is considered legally binding in Federation court--
Legal Textbook: After Leonard McCoy is forcibly reinstated into service at the beginning of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, he shakes Admiral James T. Kirk's hand and asks for "permission to come aboard." Does this action have legal weight as per Dr. McCoy's status as having "sign[ed] up for any of this shit," or is it superseded by the former coercive actions of the admiral? Please answer in 1-3 paragraphs. Note that the phrase "Jim Kirk's puppy-dog eyes" does not count as admissible evidence.
