My tour of duty in Viet Nam provided a toxic shock that awakened me to the extent to which I and generations of American citizens had thoughtlessly succumbed to the relentless barrage of lies and propaganda that infest our culture–from the military and political parties to religious institutions, academic and educational institutions, sports, fraternal and professional associations, the scientific community, the economic system, and all our entertainment–that seek to rationalize our country’s otherwise inexplicable and morally repulsive behavior around the world and at home. US American history reveals a unifying theme: prosperity for a few through expansion at any cost, to preserve the “exceptional” American Way of Life (AWOL). This has been structurally guided and facilitated by our nation’s founding documents, including the US Constitution. From the beginning, the US was envisaged as a White male supremacist state serving to protect and advance the interests of private and commercial property, and this course has never been reversed, though the 1960s witnessed multiple aligned social movements. The US-waged war in Viet Nam was not an aberration, but one of hundreds of examples in a long pattern of brutal exploitation. A quick review of the empirical record reveals close to 600 overt military interventions by the US into dozens of countries since 1798, almost 400 since the end of World War II alone, and thousands of covert interventions since 1947. This history overwhelms any rhetoric about the United States as a beacon of freedom and democracy, committed to promoting domestic and global equal justice under law. These interventions have assured de facto subsidies for US American interests, regulated global markets on our terms, and provided us with access to cheap or free labor and to raw materials. Millions of people around the globe have been murdered with virtual impunity as a result of our interventions in a pattern that illustrates what Noam Chomsky calls the “Fifth Freedom”–the freedom to rob and exploit. This freedom is ultimately protected with use of force when a country or movement seeks to protect or advance the domestic needs and desires of its members or citizens for political freedom or economic wellbeing. This book provides an invaluable tool for today’s activists, however they may be similarly shocked into wakefulness–whether by war, economic dispossession, or loss of the freedom to dissent.

Daniel and a fellow college student friend (name?) were also involved in an act of mercy. Two Marine soldiers on motorcycles racing through the sharp bend in Port Chicago Hwy, beyond Clyde on the way to Pittsburg both crashed. Walking nearby, Daniel and his friend raced to scene and applied first aid as best they could until medical help arrived. One soldier was pronounced dead at the scene, but the other survived trip to hospital. About a month later this soldier also died. Dan and his friend were credited with having saved the one soldier long enough for his family to share in his last days. They were recognized with honor by the family and many soldiers on base.
