Re:Winter Soldiers - Embodying Truth In Action, to correct cultural ins

[Guest guest]

Thank you Krishna Singh.

 

I have always thought the most powerful resistance to

the Vietnam War came from veterans. I was not in this

life at the time, but I can remember studying the War

and AntiWar movement and asking myself, why would

anyone NOT listen to these men.

 

Today, thankfully, their voices cannot be written off

as the voices of drug addicts and traitors. But their

voices do not get heard, today, everywhere.

 

So I want to echo your sentiment about the gift we

have on this path. Part of our Seva, for me, is

recognizing the impact of what is going on...

especially in terms of the veterans who are, in larger

volume than ever, returning home with PTS, missing

limbs, etc.

 

I recently saw the film " Born on the Fourth of July "

again. It is about Ron Kovic, a Vietnam War vet who,

like most vets, struggles to rejoin the off-kilter

society he signed up to defend. There is a crushingly

sad moment when, after a night of heavy drinking, he

returns home, argues with his parents, and is left

crying in his bed, asking his father, " who is going to

love me? "

 

Let us be the answer to that question.

 

Thanks again Krishna Singh ji. And one more thing:

could you say more about your experience being " kicked

out " of the army? I am very curious...
