Born in New Jersey, spent some time in Europe during my childhood, back to New Jersey, over to Chicago for most of a decade, then to Omaha to really settle down. Had vacations in both the Caribbean and Australia more recently. Would have gone into the Airforce if it wasn't for a couple damned physical problems.
Howabout you? Been out of West Texas lately? Have you done anything besides making an ass of yourself in the couple months you have graced us with your presence?

Lived in New York for 4 years (U.S. Military Academy at West Point - utter stupidity). Lived in Maine 2 years. Lived in Virginia, New Mexico, Georgia for shorter stints. Like I said before, Somalia for almost six months, Kenya, France, Egypt, Israel, Germany, Puerto Rico. Never been to Mexico though for some reason I can't figure out. Served with the Berlin Brigade in Berlin (6/40th Armor), so I know what it is like to live on an Abrams with no AC. Spent most of my service time at Ft. Hood in Texas.
I don't mind being thought of as an ass. Do you? Could be worse descriptions than that of me, if you had half of the pea-brain that even George W. has. Guess we'll have to wait on Genderbender though, if it ever decides to deign us with its presence.
Doesn't sound like you've ever been outside of your comfort zone. Again, ever been to the ass-end of the world?

Those malaria-infested hellholes where the water will turn your entire intestinal tract into a napalm factory? Places where any democratic election in their history, if they have ever had one, has ended in a violent coup? Where it is believed that Western grain is poison and our vaccines render you sterile? Where half of the country wants you shot and kidnapped because you are from America? I haven't had a pleasure.
The third world, in my honest opinion, is the sort of place you should avoid like the plague unless you are there to get something done. It isn't exactly my idea of a good time. Only an idiot repeatedly sticks his hand in a fire when there is absolutely nothing to gain from it.

Thought not.
On the other hand, one could consider a Chicago slum with more wildlife than the amazon rainforest and some really hostile natives to be America's ass-end. The days in a concrete plant that eternally violated safety and work hour regulations was also a nice touch. Not quite on par with some place that has a click and three glottal stops in its name, but it was enough for me to avoid putting my hand in the fire again.
Oh, and drop the dogma.

Sure, for you. No hard feelings here. You?
You? Thought so.
