I realized one of my relatives fought in the Korean War recently. Like, I knew he was in the army and if I bothered to think about how old he was I would have known, but I never did. I just had to casually sit there and keep joking and talking with my family while it sunk in that my family, my blood was over there, doing that. That evil was not so far removed from me. It was chilling.
My favorite relative (before he died) was in the navy for Korea. Had some real racist ideas about black people too, specifically crime stat bullshit. But weirdly, he had a thing about helping people from Central America. Guess he never got that particular bout of propaganda. It kills me to know what this country will do to even people with the best hearts.
