I was born and raised in Manchester, NH. When I turned 20, I decided to enlist in the Marines. I spent 4 years active duty, including 2 tours overseas, one being in Iraq. I spent 2 months over there, participating in the initial shock-and-awe campaign.
When I got back from Iraq, I began reading about the causes for why I was sent, and discovered everything they ever told me was a lie. That is why I joined Iraq Veterans Against the War. Since then I have given many speeches around New England, had a Cable-Access show in Manchester, and for a short time was the chapter president of the NH chapter which I helped found.
But things change as time goes on, and I found myself becoming disillusioned with the anti-war business, giving themselves 100K salaries while charging us for travel, putting us up in 5-star hotels and doing drugs while we are supposed to be "changing the world". They were making massive amounts of money for themselves while complaining about the very system that allowed massive companies to make money on war on death. BOTH sides profit from war. I also had ideological differences that were unresolvable.
So I chose to leave their hypocrisy found myself adrift for a small period of time.
Then I discovered the wonderful little book "War is a racket". by Maj. Smedley Butler as-well as Marx and his wonderful manifesto. My eyes became open at that moment- that in order to secure peace we must remove the profit from war, and the whole rotten system that props it up.
I was then a reborn Communist- ready to take the crimson banner in hand and march onward to liberation and peace.I hate apathy. You need to give a shit about this world that we live in, not just the bit you are sitting on. This world is ours, to do as we want. There are no rules, and unjust laws are no laws at all.
