I received my Ph.D. and all my academic training beyond high school after I returned home, I went to school on the G.I. Bill... when I enlisted in 1962, this country was a Camelot... but when I returned to go to college, the campuses were being overrun and turned upside down by war protesters... I was there for an education... a lot was going on inside of me at that time... I was confronted every day at college with angry, shouting, and ungrateful students who were 'too busy' and too spoiled by their parents to meet their country's call to duty... before I enlisted, I was impressed with JFK, as many my age at the time was, and I had hopes that Johnson would pick up the banner... he tried to form the Great Society and maybe I was also naive at the time as well... I gave the Democrats my vote for many years hoping that a Great Society can eventually emerge... well, it never did.....
