I think it's the climate.Before I joined the Navy I'd never met anyone from Ohio. I learned very early that folks from places like Michigan, Indiana, and Pennsylvania hated them but I never quite understand why. I didn't do the state pride, Texas brag stuff, and pretty much kept to myself. Then one day I was standing in the chowline and this Ohio dude starts ragging on me. His whole thing was that if Texas is so great, why did I leave? But he ended up getting sent home with a general discharge. Pretty much for being a disagreeable POS. The guys from the states I mentioned before weren't surprised at all.
Pale skin with dark circles under their eyes.
And generally psychologically depressed.
Not enough sun or something.
