"Every time the Russian put an American in jail, WE put an American in jail" (this was during the blacklist, and Mort was the only one who attacked Joe McCarthy, and later, Edward R. Murrow).
He then talks about being stationed in Okinawa, in charge of an area of 4-5 natives who had no language, lived in trees, ate leaves, had no drive, or incentive, "And my job was to save them from Communism!"
(and the last line of the story)... "We sent our report to The Pentagon, and in 12 short months, we had showed these people how to live off each other instead of the land"
If you like Bill Hicks, and know a bit about American society, history, politics, you'd love this.. My friends who love stand-up give up, because Mort is tough to follow, and I think they were too lazy to simply research a few names.
