I can relate to a certain extent. 8 years after JFK was killed, I was a grunt in Nam. If he’d lived, maybe me and my buddies wouldn’t have been there.

5 years after JFK was killed, 1968, I was enjoying the view across the Black Sea to Crimea; one year later I was facing 4 Soviet Armies 4 km away ...
Favorite song from that time: “Odessa” by the Bee Gees.
