I liked it then and I like it now.  I've heard nothing positive about Oklahoma. I'm thinking dust bowl, flat featureless plains, and a hardscrabble life. What do you like? And note that I'm pretty sure it freezes there... That said, I'm glad there are people willing to live in places like that.  Also, I didn't go into the military until 75, then the bastards canceled the war on me... I got Vietnam Era, but fuck that.
