"I never met a veteran who fought for socialism". Comebacks, please?

The “socialist” benefits of life in the military
Jason Combs
February 2011

Unshouldering my briefcase, loosening the knot on my tie, plopping myself down in a wheely office chair and cracking open the blinds in a tiny cubicle in corporate Tokyo, I look out the window and yearn to escape the office and be outside. How did I ever get here? I never finished formal education. I skipped around from service jobs to factories and spent four years in the U.S. military. Got married, “settled down” and here I am. I put on a cheap suit every morning like a business man, take the commuter train, and work with a pen and a PC instead of with my body.

Looking out that window there are times I miss being in the military. Most of my coworkers are white, educated and hail from upper-middle-class or well-off families. I miss working in greasy coveralls with people from all over the world, all of them working-class. I miss being able to speak freely and act naturally in-stead of watching my tongue and carefully choosing my words in an office environment.
