So, you don't carry anything else? No ATM card, credit cards, membership cards? An insurance card so you don't die while waiting for the hospital to make sure they will be paid for their services? -- Service to my country?

More small cars than anything else. Sure a lot of people drive pickup trucks, but they have business names painted on them. I drive a mini pickup with a four cylinder to do my volunteer work, and because its all I have at the moment. It all changes when the Northerners come to winter here. Lots of Caddies, Lincolns, and SUVs driving down the center of two lanes at 20 miles an hour under the speed limit. -- Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I've got my DD214 to prove it.

You are blaming externals for an internal state, a convenient and paralyzing cop-out. For anyone reasonably healthy and living in a free, developed country not to be happy is stunning stupidity.
