Pearl Harbor scratched his memory
hed be horribly remiss if he didnt
acknowledge other sneak attacks that also killed thousands of other GI Joes however slowly tortuously
those attacks didnt come at the
hands of an unfriendly force or nation rather
upsettingly so by the hands of our militarys big
brainsknow-it-alls
our Vietnam GIs served the countryprotected it from a Cold War Communist threat a bill-of-goods preposterous by any stretch of the
imagination it was called the Domino theory which in reality couldnt be conceived of
anything other than greasing the wheels of military defense contractors profiteering and personal greed
Agent Orange
our soldiers slowly slaughtered many of their children mutants
and any and every impediment our government could throw in their way to
delay its obligation to treat and care
for our veterans it did and does
a vet he knew a friend he made said They’re playing me out
until I die. Then they’ll be able to close the book on me; on me and every
veteran who believed in the honor to serve in the military, serve our
country. I was stupid to buy into it. The reality was there was no real threat. And tons of money were to be made off young men's lives and bodies.
AGENT ORANGE
his friend's son called him two weeks after his father died I'm sorry to tell you that my father died. I found you in his cellphone. I knew it was important to call you. Not many people made my father's phonebook.
