    <dcterms:date><![CDATA[d then we have Enron, Kenny Lay, the head of it. As Bush calls him, Kenny Boy, a friend. He hasn't gone to jail yet, you know. I mean, the American people, we have lost our country to the military-industrial complex and there's no way in the world, I see, how we're gonna get it back. We have people in this country trying to live off of minimum wage. Then we got people trying to be billionaires in this country. It's crazy. Interviewer: [inaudible, very low volume] Reid: No. No. Interviewer: [inaudible, very low volume] Reid: Well, no. Except when I was coming home, I ran into a couple of them coming home on the train from New Jersey. But they had been the other way. I think it was one guy that I might have seen in Manila that was from Lesley. But that's the only one that I ran into. Interviewer: So there was never any central area where [inaudible]. Reid: No. No. It was‚Ä¶most of our people‚Ä¶in the quartermaster corps, we got a lot of the boys in the Air Force because at the end of the war, they didn't need any more pilots or anything so they put‚Ä¶we got about two hundred of the boys out of the Air Force, that they let out of the Air Force and they put them in the Army, in the quartermaster corps with us. Interviewer: [inaudible, very low volume] Reid: Yeah, mostly. But in New Guinea we had a black, I believe it was the Ninety-first or Ninety-second, a black division, and they did most all the work for me. I had about twenty-five or thirty working for me and I was a corporal in New Guinea. But they unloaded‚Ä¶the only thing in Manila, they would be unloading ships on ducks. A duck is that truck that can go, you know, in the ocean, water. Then it comes out and hits the ground and keeps going with the load and everything. They would load a duck with white T-shirts and khakis. And the duck never would show up at our depot. I mean, they would steal between the ship and our depot. The truck driver and everything would drive it out in the country and they'd find the truck out there, the duck, two or three weeks later. They were empty and everything else. But most all the Filipinos, they wear white shirts just like me and you got on right now, and khaki pants. That's‚Ä¶a white T-shirt and khaki pants, for the Filipinos, that was dress to go to church with. Interviewer: Did you stay in the reserves? Reid: No. I came back home. Interviewer: So you didn't come back into Korea? Reid: This Norwood Highsmith, he was a captain, a friend of mine in Dalton. He died in '93. But I saw where he went back in. But he was a captain in the engineers and he was in World War Two. He first went to Australia. And then he went to New Guinea. And then they were fighting on a couple of the islands there and he wound up in the Philippines. His record says Southern Philippines. So it must have been on some of those smaller islands south of Luzon that was in there and everything. Interviewer: Did you feel that World War Two [inaudible]? Reid: Well, you know, it had always been rumored, you know. And I believe it. That we had broken the Japanese code and we knew they were coming and everything. But to get the American people, sometimes the president will do crazy things to get the American people ready for war. But it's just like the‚Ä¶the twin towers in New York. We had thirty-one hundred people killed and because of that we killed two hundred thousand in Afghanistan and Iraq. The numbers don't add up, you know. It's crazy. Interviewer: But as far as World War Two is concerned [inaudible]. Reid: Well, I don't know. I think if we had‚Ä¶see the reason the Japanese wanted to fight us, we were shipping them iron over there to make the ships and everything for the war machine. And we cut the iron off, you know. And we stood around and let them get so big, you know, that they thought they were gonna take on us, you know. I don't think‚Ä¶I think any war can be stopped if you have the right people at the right place at the right time. Even in Hitler. Even the Jewish people, the Jewish bankers in Germany backed Hitler. He was borrowing money from them. They furnished the money, the Jewish bankers. It's not Lowenstein, but the big Jewish bankers in Europe over there. So it's‚Ä¶ Interviewer: [inaudible, very low volume] Reid: I don't think we had the right leaders at the right time because when Hitler first started over there, you don't go over there, you know, you don't‚Ä¶the bankers shouldn't have loaned him money to do it, you know. And another thing, where did it start from? From the unemployment? From the German people? Low jobs. So that's what Bush is doing to us today. He's scaring us, you know. Every day, you know, we got to do this, we got to do that. He's scaring us. You know, Saddam is coming, you know. The Taliban is coming. Bin Laden is coming, you know. So what they do, they scare you to death. They don't scare me, but the normal person, they scare them to death, you know. Then we give them forty-seven billion dollars. Then we give them eighty-seven billion. It's gonna be more than that. Next year it's gonna be more cause we're not gonna‚Ä¶we've got people unemployed here in the United States. We could use that eighty-seven billion dollars hiring somebody to go to work. Interviewer: Okay. Now we've got about five minutes left. You've got anything else [inaudible]? Reid: I don't think so. Maybe I've said too much already. [laughing] Interviewer: [inaudible, very low volume] Reid: [laughs] Interviewer: Okay then. I guess that's the end. Thank you.
