But I just couldn't cool down. I wanted to kill this guy. I guess I'm talking races now, like the white race, and then the Vietnamese, to lord over another race of people is just so totally wrong. When you see it, firsthand, the way I saw Marines treating the Vietnamese, so bad. It just made me realize how arrogant a lot of people are.
Some people think they're just better than other people, and that's just wrong.
Just because the people are smaller, more diminutive, doesn't mean they're less than you are. I guess that's the main thing I got from the warjust the attitudes of people who think they're better than other people, and really have the power to lord over other people. When they do that, it's totally disgusting. That's the main thing I learned in Vietnam. During his one month in the infantry, John was stationed at Fort Observation Post Barracuda.
