I'm sure I come across as liberal 'hand wringing ninnie'
to some, but I to sometimes regret not joining the military.
I went to Michigan State for Pre-law. I was looking at joining the Air Force to pay for my law school. It was a 6 year commitment. I didn't do it.
My life turned out better than I could have ever expected, but that was not without wasting a good 4-5 years casting about for a real life. I wonder what I could have achieved in a more structured environment.
