Chapter 86: It's the Truth and It's a Lie

Martin raised his eyes and glanced at Tommy, "Isn't it?"

"When I spent a lot of time helping Jeff formulate a campaign strategy, I discovered a cruel truth, during the Vietnam War, the U.S. Department of Defense launched a 100,000 patriot project due to insufficient military resources, that is, in order to meet the needs of soldiers in the post-Korean War Cold War and Vietnam War, they lowered the recruitment standard, and lowered the previous conscription requirement for *** to have a minimum IQ of at least 95 in the test, to only 80 IQ.

"Coupled with the enthusiastic and passionate propaganda of those politicians, 100,000 young people of low intellectual age joined the army because of patriotism, Jeff's father Halle-LaVine was one of them, he signed up for the army for the first time when he was young, but because the IQ test showed that he only had an IQ of 92, he was regretfully brushed down, I thought he would never have a chance to get in touch with the army in the future, but I didn't expect the Vietnam War to break out, he was twenty-seven years old, married a wife and had children, but the Ministry of Defense's conscription order was sent to him, indicating that he met the conscription requirements, And the United States needs him to step up now."

"That young man who was as honest and hearty as Jeff, who was loved by the neighbors, said goodbye to his wife and son, set foot on the battlefield in the name of patriotism, and then, without any accident, died in Vietnam, he thought that he and his 100,000 patriotic soldiers and brothers would receive the title of heroes after they died in battle, do you know what the fuck they have received? Legion of idiots.

"These soldiers are distinguished from other soldiers, within the Ministry of Defense, they are low-intelligence soldiers, they have another set of welfare standards, they receive a lot less pension after death than other soldiers, and the total pension of the living idiot legion members is at least 5,000 yuan or more than those of professional soldiers, why should they be treated differently? Because the stupid* in the eyes of these politicians can't understand what another set of standards is."

"Then why call up this idiot army alone to send to Vietnam, and not the American reserves? Because it is a shelter for the children of politicians and wealthy people, serving in the reserves, there is no need to go to the front battlefield, those politicians who get the news in advance, put on the halo of reserve for their school-age children early, safe, and can also publicize it to the outside world after victory, they have served honorably in wartime, anyway, as long as the war is over, it doesn't matter whether they serve in the front or in the rear." Tommy rubbed his somewhat dry eyes and looked at Martin:

"Have you seen a 1987 movie, Full Metal Shell? There is a white recruit Leonard who was tortured and humiliated, unresponsive, overweight, and finally killed his comrades and then committed suicide, which is the epitome of the 100,000 patriotic soldiers of the Idiot Army, and the general who proposed this project was finally condemned after many years, but so what, he didn't need to pay any price at all, just a few words of questioning.

"Who really remembers those people? Although they are intellectually inferior, they truly love this country, but who really cares about them in this country? John Rambo in "First Blood" is a professional soldier who was carefully trained by the United States, and when he returned home, he was humiliated as a war maniac and a murderer, not to mention such a group of idiots who didn't know how to resist at all? Today, those people are dying, and if there is no one to speak up for those people, those pure patriots can only die silently with scars on their backs, just like Jeff's father.

"Jeff is a pure man, he's the best candidate, he's a patriot, he's the son of a patriot, that's why I'm helping him, if there can be a bunch of liars ruling in Congress, then why can't there be a real patriot."

"Think of those patriotic but mentally retarded youths who died on the far other side of the world, stupid, perhaps even so stupid that even their souls would get lost after death, and to this day, they have been wandering in the jungles of Vietnam, unable to return home.

After Tommy finished speaking calmly, he looked at Martin with some embarrassment, "What do you want to ask me?"

「F*ck! I want to ask you, after helping Jeff run successfully, can I take the money to accompany him to Washington, I want *** those bastards! F*ck!」 Martin gritted his teeth when he heard this, this was the first time he had heard that the U.S. government had done such a cruel thing.

Send a hundred thousand poor idiots to die like cannon fodder in Vietnam? In terms of idiocy, he thinks that there must be a lot more idiots among blacks than whites, that is, there are a large number of stupid black brothers

Deceived to Vietnam and died on the battlefield.

In his former understanding, the worst people are those drug dealers, murderers, thugs, and as for those politicians who show up on TV, they may be corrupt or incompetent, but compared to the cruel drug dealers, murderers, it seems that they are much worse.

It wasn't until Tommy had just heard what happened to Jeff's father's group that he realized that no matter how cruel the drug dealers, no matter how perverted murderers, and no matter how brutal the street thugs, they were no match for these politicians in the United States.

What kind of politician can completely lose his humanity and use patriotic propaganda to send those who are already difficult enough to live in the world as cannon fodder to the battlefield.

"The scriptures have said, I will not help my mouth, the pain of my God shall speak, the bitterness of my heart shall be spoken, and the bitterness of my heart shall be spoken, and I shall not be a sea, nor a crocodile, nor shall I defend against me." Tommy reached out and patted a somewhat emotional Martin:

"Help this poor and pure good guy, help this poor and pure good guy, make him look like a tough guy, win everyone's support, take him to Washington, so that he can give him and his father and all the poor people a voice in public in the Washington Congress. Martin, that's what we're supposed to do, the right thing to do.

"Jeff! Fight for breath! Your father's soul is still wandering in Vietnam, waiting for you to be redeemed!" Martin abruptly stood up and walked towards the living room, shouting at the same time:

"If you can't learn it, I promise to teach you a taste of the Vietnamese treatment of American captives for the 100,000 patriotic idiots in America! Many of them are still waiting for you to take them home!"

Seeing Martin's angry expression, Tommy suddenly regained his composure as he sat down at the table, and stopped him, "Martin."

「hat?」 Martin turned his head, the anger on his face still not dissipating.

"What do you think I'm helping Jeff for?" Tommy looked at him with a smirk.

Martin's throat moved, and he spoke. 「...

··· For the poor old fellows who still love this country to death.

"No, to get the money out of those poor old fellows." Tommy spoke.

Martin's whole person was like an inflatable doll that suddenly leaked, and the excitement and anger on his face just now turned into shock with Tommy's words, and he didn't even stand firm, and staggered back slightly half a step.

"What I said just now is to induce the listener to be angry, so that they forget the real purpose of the speaker, and think that the speaker is one of them." Tommy smiled and said to Martin:

"Lesson 2, it's the truth and it's a lie.

Martin has nowhere to vent his anger, he just wanted to kill all the politicians because of Tommy's words, but now he feels that Tommy is no different from the politicians who deceive the poor people!

Even the reason used is the same, patriotic!

It's just that one deceived those people to give their lives, and the other deceived those people to donate money

Martin opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, took two steps towards the living room, and couldn't help but look back: "Boss, why do you want to teach me a, why do you just ······ Can't I really believe that we're for America, for those poor people?"

"The great are immortal, but the inferior endure." Tommy lit a cigarette.

"Maybe it's because you're the miller of the Hawke family?"
