I did. Three years in Ecuador.
Anyone here from or who served in a "third world country"?

I did.
Several countries and branches. I have talked to you over pm.
I know that you didn't meant to offend with the term. I must say that we measure "first world" by means of money/military power/GDP/sanitary and health system/education etc.
But I must also say that the world has other measurements too. I've met some of the most interesting people in poor villages and some of the most arrogant assholes in rich, northern European countries. You can't generalize and I am against the notion that "poor" makes you nice and humble (it is not true, poor makes people do some nasty things to each other!), but people had time to reflect on things and gain very interesting perspectives about Life, they had "invested" hundreds of hours in pure thinking. Something that in the stress riden West is impossible to do at a high quality level.
