The Socialist Threat
Essay 4 by Master Sgt Dr. John W. Boswell, Ph.D., US Army Special Forces Operational Detachment, Delta ("Delta Force")
Here’s the text of Essay 4: The Socialist Threat, by S. Roane, the pen name of the late Dr. John W. Boswell, Ph.D. (MSgt, USA Special Forces, retired) on January 25, 2021. He was my best friend in graduate school.
Army 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment Delta Master Sergeant (ret.) Dr. John W. Boswell, Ph.D.'s 4 Essays were picked up by The Federalist on Twitter.
This is honoring the late John W. Boswell. John had a storied career in Army Special Forces. He took down Noriega, he fought in the actual battle depicted in the film Black Hawk Down. He was awarded the Purple Heart and Silver Star. After his military service, he earned a BA, MA, and Ph.D., focusing on Public Law and American Politics.
MSgt Dr. Boswell was deeply concerned about the consequences of an ignorant populace, ill-trained by Democrat only biased tax funded college campuses to prefer the thin venear of Socialism. He saw that first-hand as an older college student. John's first duty station, prior to being selected for sergeant and then the special forces, was in West Germany.
He saw the Iron Curtain and what socialism had done to Eastern Europe. He was never tired of reporting that the guns on the wall were pointed towards itself, the Communist side, to prevent those wanting to escape. The Socialist threat didn't initially present itself that way, but that's how it ended up, a hell-hole.
Permission was granted by the author to read and discuss prior to his untimely death. The original text of Essay 4: The Socialist Threat by Dr. John W. Boswell, Ph.D., MSgt US Army 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment, Delta (ret.) can be found here.
