The boy needs to open his eyes. Too bad that the Marines did not hold him until he grew up.
My thoughts exactly. We felt there was a high probability of him never coming back from China.

He's a smart guy. He did high school in three years (was a year younger but graduated with his brother and I), then did college in three years (Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering from U of I). Upon graduation, he did concrete work for a few years in Colorado.

Beyond academia, he's never had a purpose in life. He just moves from one crackpot idea to the next, always getting dissatisfied when he realizes his idea won't be as easy as he first thought. I felt four years a grunt would have taught him more than he is ever likely to get on his own.
