    In the VA ward I talked to a few Vietnam veterans.

    He told me he thought he was going over to “fight communism and defend democracy.” He told me about some of the fucked up shit he saw and had to deal with. Later after he got back he said he realized it was all for money for the arms industry and military complex in general.

    He’s a great guy, suffers badly from PTSD but I told him I am a communist and he asked genuine questions about why I am, what led me to think things, and what it is we do. I told him I was a candidate of the Party of Communists USA and he asked more genuine questions out of curiosity and intrigue.
