18. Bernie survived the "Better dead than red" period.

I joined the Navy in 1968 believing the “Better dead than red” propaganda wanting to patrol the rivers of Vietnam shooting communists. By a strange turn of fate I got a unit of patrol boats I wanted, but it was in the part of the Navy that only operated in the Atlantic Ocean. Later in life it was revealed that a lot of what we heard about Vietnam in the 60s was lies. I had no use for and despised people like Bernie in the 60s. Point being is we are still being lied to by the same people on the right today. The extreme right is the reason people on welfare were despised when I was growing up. Now I realize the people I despised were simply the expendables not needed anymore So now we deprive the people of limited skills and talent and aptitude of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness not because they are a threat to our way of life, but because it would cost money. And the reason they can’t pay their way is because the “better dead than red people” sold their jobs to the same people the “better dead than red” people wanted them to kill 50 and 60 and 70 and 80 years ago. Is it now “better dead than poor”? Still missing something?
