Harassment is a word that
ha be a
throughout the military. Articles
have been written describing the
abundance or lack of harass
ment and many moments of
bitter conversation have con
centrated about this topic. Yet
few men are aware of its
presence as PFC Oscar Bosch.
Bosch a records clerk for the
502nd Admin. Co. 2nd Armd.
Div. and a recent Cuban exile
described the harassment he
received at the hands of his
fellow countrymen as harsh and
stated that "They (his fellow
countrymen)" make your life
impossible if you aren't a Com
munist."
Bosch escaped from is
hometown of Guantanamo Bay
Cuba Sept. 1 1970 and swam
approximately seven miles to
Guantanamo Bay Naval Base.
What made the 25-year-old
university student flee his native
country and leave friends and
family behind? Bosch described
Cuba as a "Big Brother" state
typical of George Orwell's novel

"Fear and distrust are every
day occurrences and repression
a way of life" he said.
Bosch found it difficult to hide
his dislike for Castro and the
Communist party and as a
result was accused of making
anti-communist statements. At
tempts were made to force him
out of the university yet his
relations ift the Communist par
ty made efforts to keep him
in school.
The pressure from the Com
munists and the fact that Bosch
disliked pretending to be pro-
Castro ("I hated being two fac
ed") forced him to leave

everything behind and seek a
new life in the United States.
Bosch expressed his pleasure
with the freedom and prosperity
at our disposal in this country.
"Many soldiers complain about
this Army" he said. "They

Bosch gave such examples of
resistance to the Communist
party as workers deliberately

wanted to start the fires on
purpose to hurt Castro" he said.
