Some people feel they are born out of time. Is there an age you would have rather lived in?

CPT Jack Durish Thought about it. Then realized I really appreciate flush toilets. Really.

Future. I'm pissed I won't be able to see what happens in a couple hundred years. Colonies on the moon? Alien Invasion? 150 years life expectancy?

CPT Jack Durish - I always felt I should have been born earlier . . . taking risks that made more of an immediate difference . . . as a member of the French Resistance or the German Resistance during WWII . . . or maybe old enough to have known and to have fought the Russian Occupation of Czechoslovakia at the side of my father and mother . . . or maybe old enough to bring back more sufficiently detailed information about the Nazi Mass Extermination Camps to motivate a rescue mission earlier in the war to save more of the twelve million jews and others who died under such harrowing conditions. I would have loved to have known Wild Bill Donovan during the very earliest years of the OSS, Stanislaw Ulam / Edward Teller / Robert Oppenheimer during the Manhattan Project, and Admiral Hyman Rickover during the earliest days of the development of the nuclear submarine force. I would have loved to have been born in time to lead WWII bomber attacks on Nazi war resources, captained American diesel electric submarines, led covet ops to capture Nazi / Russian / Japanese cryptographic assets, or led covert teams in mass sabotage of Nazi / Russian / Japanese war assets. I would have loved to be among the first officers to rescue concentration camp survivors. In the end, perhaps I am out of place and time . . . should have led covert ops during hot rather than cold wars. Perhaps I should have been the one to put a bullet in the head of Adolph Hitler and other members of the Nazi / Russian / Japanese leadership who caused so much pain and suffering around the world. Warmest Regards, Sandy :)
