I didn’t know any in the 70s either, but I knew some in the 60s, who did. Three guys in my squadron alone, practically worshipped Ho Chi Minh. They had this little jingle, that said, Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh, the NLF is gonna win. They were the only ones I knew about. There were probably others as well.
I knew a few crazies when I was in the Air Force in the late 70’s. We had one guy who was odd in a lot of ways and he was always whining about how much he hated the Air Force. While posted on sentry duty in an Alert Area, he sat on the ground and entirely disassembled his M-16. That was the last we saw of him. There have always been some crazies in the military.
I had to laugh reading that...we all know from having been in the military, that there are just some people who hate being there with such a passion that they will say or do anything outrageous, just to vent!
I had a funny incident when I was deployed back in 1978, where I had seen, written on the inside of a stall in one of the heads, “B.O.C.” which as anyone from that time so inclined would easily recognize as the acronym for “Blue Oyster Cult”.
Some bored or disgruntled wag wrote vertically under each latter some additional graffiti which made it spell out “Brothers Of Communism”!
The SHTF! They had mandatory departmental lectures all over the ship (no small issue on an aircraft carrier!) about the dangers of treasonous and seditious graffiti!!!!
We all rolled our eyes...:)
