Wow
Lee that is a very provocative and deep thought question.
In my case I went into the military right after HS and spent 4 years at various overseas postings. I always knew that choice prepared me and matured me to a point that college was a much more rewarding experience. I never really thought about it's impact on other areas of my life.
Thinking back on it sure the exposure to less puritanical and oppressive sexual mores outside the US had a great deal on the choices I have made throughout my life. (except 2 gringa wifes also impacted my thinking process
)
I know the experience of being overseas and later in life being in an industry that allowed me to travel extensively made my decision to live here much easier. Did it cause me to monger
not sure if it was that or my genes.
Would like to hear some impute from others on this. Good thread Lee, thanks for starting it.
