(17,064 posts)I'm not going to adress it item by item, but I'll counter a few claims.
Oswald was not a loving husband and father. He was rather indifferent. He refused to hold a job more than a couple months to support them. He beat Marina on many occasions.
Oswald was also a failure as a soldier. He was court-martialled in a year for shooting himself with an unauthorized weapon. Then again for fighting his Sargent. He was indifferent to his assignments. The Marines were probably very happy to get rid of him. Although he was a radar technician, its unlikely he worked on cutting edge projects. And I don't think the U-2 flights had even started at the time he was in the military
The Fair Play for Cuba Committee was Pro-Castro, not Anti-Castro. Oswald was turned down to create and lead a NOLA chapter by the national office. He created an ad-hoc unofficial chapter, of which he was the only member. His encounters with the Anti-Castro groups appear to be efforts to infiltrate or provoke them. They back-fired.
Oswald was interviewed/questioned several times upon returning to the US, by the FBI. FBI was also supposed to be watching him in Dallas before the assassination, but apparently dropped the ball. IMO, its logical to assume he was also being monitored by CIA and military intelligence. Theres evidence he was being watched by KGB when he was in Mexico City.
