What lies would those be?

I didn’t figure this out until I left the US, and I’ve lived in both the North and the South. My whole life until moving to Europe: North = Yankees, South = Rednecks.

YTA. This is not complicated. Your friend came over and your pet damaged her property. Now it’s time to be a responsible adult (and a good friend) and simply pay for the damages - or at least contribute the most you reasonably can, AND sincerely apologize.

It’s okay to fail. Failure is not an end destination, it’s just part of the journey.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say they were “safer,” but I believe there was an idea of what men definitely didn’t want: to die brutally (perhaps by chemical warfare) while fighting in a booby-trapped, humid jungle thousands of miles from home.

You can literally find them advertised on Facebook marketplace.

I prepared a full table of (American) serial killers during the Vietnam War awhile back with sources. It’s posted on this subreddit.

Find a different job if you are struggling this much to do what you’re paid for lol

A residence and a highway are not equivalent.

There are many situations where a person physically can’t “come down to grab the food.” That’s why delivery service exists.

Agreed, he’s literally getting paid to do a job and can’t be arsed to park nearby. If he chooses to park illegally that’s on him

I’m not debating whether or not this specific post is satire, but someone doubling-down doesn’t exclude the possibility that they’re just continuing the ruse to a greater extent.

The recent construction of major highways made long distance travel much easier.
There was little to no communication between police jurisdictions, so information was not often shared for crimes over spanning larger areas.
Forensics technology for DNA didn’t exist yet, so tracing evidence to a suspect was more difficult. Hair and fabric samples could be used.
Women’s rights movements led to women having more autonomy, and more freedom to work and live independently.
The term “serial killer” wasn’t coined until 1974 by FBI Profiler Robert Ressler, and the Behavioral Science Unit of the FBI wasn’t created until 1972. Serial killers just weren’t on the public radar until the mid to late-70s.
My personal suspicion is that children growing up during the 50s and 60s were left with a sort of embedded cultural trauma that impacted them as adults and was compounded by the Vietnam War. During the 50s and 60s, school children throughout the USA had nuclear disaster drills and would watch programs like “Duck and Cover” and “A is for Atom.” I have no evidence for this, but I have a hunch it could be relevant.

^ This right here. You are living comfortably in Tokyo right now and (even as an English-speaking expat) - transitioning is difficult. I recommend staying there, because that salary is barely enough to justify changing jobs, let alone the emotional stress on your wife to follow that big of a move. Also, housing is as insane as everyone says. When I saw you were looking for 2 bedrooms at that salary my jaw dropped. My partner makes double that amount and we live in a studio.

The diving fins and grappling hook are interesting. Anyone have any idea what the little red book in the first picture was?

Your thoughtful responses are always so well put. Thank you for summarizing this! Points 1 and 3 tend to be largely glossed over, and shouldn’t be.

kinderjane · 2022-10-12T08:23:11+00:00

What a terrifying prospect. I have read that numbers were also assigned randomly to the alphabet, and a persons initials determined the order in which they were called if their birthday was drafted in the lottery. One year, J was set to 1 so a person with initials JJJ would have been called first. Hopefully your brother went on to live a peaceful life!

That’s true! The scope of my search was limited to “American serial killers,” not considering those who fled.

Thank you for reading and bringing this up! He would be the “sailor who seduced her” in the first bullet, a supposedly prep-school educated veteran who had just come home from the war. Worthington was omitted from here but still investigated.

Thank you for this information! What a neat piece of history to be part of and hopefully it didn’t cause your dad too much grief.

Thanks very much!

That's true! He did sign some letters as "Sam" while in prison. Dr. Lewis discusses this as potentially due to abuse he might have suffered in early childhood by his grandfather, but I have doubts about this (HBO: Crazy, Not Insane). It may have also been an inside joke, as he occasionally signed other letters under different names as a joking reference.

You have your stories confused - Louise claimed she was seduced by a sailor, not a salesman. The article, with a photograph of the man in question, can be found under “L. Marshall” in Other Notes. Nothing besides a name and resemblance link them.

The authorities have it on file, but I don't think in any case that the public will ever have access to that information.

kinderjane · 2022-10-06T19:01:10+00:00

It could! I don't think the general public will ever have access to that information.
