You ran away from home to get more discipline? Whoa. .I know I wasn’t and ran away from home when I was very young to join the military. My mom still brings that up.

I'd hope that she brings that up proudly. If not, I hope my pride in you helps. I like that it is a requirement in Israel, and they have a very low incidence of depression and teen suicide. I gather they are expected to defend their homeland rather than set out to 'conquer' everybody else's. There's too many people trying to destroy them to bother with self-destruction, I suppose. I also like the bar/bat mitzvah's where one is officially considered, and expected to take the responsibility of, an adult. There are no perpetual Teenie boppers there.I know I wasn’t and ran away from home when I was very young to join the military. My mom still brings that up.

This response brought tears to my eyes. Seriously, don’t do that. I’m just an old hag looking back at my life which didn’t turn out the perfect way.
But, thanks for your kind words. They meant the world to me.
Darn, now I can’t stop crying.

I'm sure that you ended up in the place that was just right for you.I remember being sixteen casting about wondering what it was all about and thinking maybe joining
the military would help provide direction and answers? But that was not where I ended up after all...
That would be me.... you callin me old, junior?I'm 70, the first age that is old would probably be 71.
I remember him, but I was only 10 at that time.... my dad ran for Congress against George Mahon during that time frame... can't recall if it was 62 or 64....Anybody remember when Barry Goldwater ran for president?

Knowing what I know now I'm sure that I would not vote for Goldwater. From what I understand, his views were extreme.So he would have told you I’d liked to help you son but you’re too young to vote?![]()
I would probably take a pass in the 1964 general election.So, knowing what you know about LBJ, you would have still voted for him?![]()
