        The Peace Corps was created by Sargent Shriver who sent the best young faces of America out into the world. But before going they had to learn the language of the nation country they were assigned to, no matter where - Arabic, Hindu, Swahili.

        Those shitholes in 1961 were considered developing countries worthy of our help and expertise.

        As a 14 yr old, I remember being so envious. What an adventure! Later I became a PCV, serving in two countries. ‘Best job I ever had.’
