Mr. Delgado. That's right, for people. If they worked for the military, they could work for everybody, instead of everybody being an individualist and just a few of them having—if they all got together in one common denominator, if everybody worked with the state owning everything, and everybody worked for the state.
Mr. Liebeler. Oswald didn't really like the Marine Corps, did he?
Mr. Delgado. No.
Mr. Liebeler. How could he say that socialism was like the military, and like socialism, and still hate the military?
Mr. Delgado. He liked the life but hated the military. Some people love to be bossed around, you know, and told what to do. Yet, the same people may not like for certain individuals, let's say like Sergeant Funk, for instance, to tell them what to do.
Mr. Liebeler. Did you ever have the feeling that Oswald disliked discipline as a general proposition, or just individual people that told him what to do?
Mr. Delgado. I would say discipline by certain individuals, you know. He used to take orders from a few people there without no trouble at all. Just a few people that didn't like him or he didn't like them, or he thought to be—he thought Funk to be too stupid to give him any kind of order. That was beyond his level. That was fact. This man was a complete moron, according to Oswald. Why should he, because he's been longer, have the authority to give him orders, you know? So he had no respect for him. If he had respect, he would follow, go along with you. But if he thought you to be inferior to him or mentally—mental idiot, he wouldn't like anything you told him to do.
Mr. Liebeler. Can you remember any other discussions about this comparison of socialism with the Marine Corps or the military?
