Most self-inflicted wounds occur during wartime, for various possible reasons. Potential draftees may self-injure in order to avoid being drafted for health reasons. The most common reason enlisted soldiers self-wound is to render themselves unable to continue serving in combat, thus resulting in their removal from the combat line to a hospital. Thus, self-injury can be used to avoid a more serious combat injury or a combat death.
