Easy solution: withdraw federal support for the Oklahoma national guard.
Then those Okies wouldn't have to go fight in our foreign
misadventures. It might be a fair trade.
Nothing would prevent someone from Oklahoma from enlisting directly in
the U.S. Armed Forces branch of his or her choice.
Gosh, I remember my second trip into Oklahoma, this time for a visit. (I
had driven through the state as a passenger some years earlier but
mostly slept until we got to Texas)
A friend of mine from the KC Star took a job with what was then called
the Tulsa World-Tribune, and I drove down for a visit. What a bunch of
dumpy towns along the way: Nevada, Carthage, Joplin, Owasso. At least
there were some parks and trees in Tulsa, but to me the drive into
Oklahoma was like a time warp back to the Great Depression of the 1930s,
and Tulsa when I visited was an oil boom town. Apparently the state is
still in a time warp.
