Hello Ruy
I’m sceptical on possibility to validate the real motive of Mr/Ms X, because it’s usually impossible to know what has gone inside somebody’s head say 20 years ago.
I’m not AVG specialist, even if I have read parts of Ford’s book and parts of Bloody Shambles plus a couple articles on the unit. I know even less on Air America because I was most interested in Vietnam War from late 60s to late 70s and then I haven’t much interest in contemporary or near contemporary covert ops because I doubted the possibility to get reliable info on them.

I once knew a quite a bit on Spanish Civil War, even if I might have forgot most of it. So, out of curiosity, do You believe that many of the men of International Brigades joined in mainly because of revolutionary fervour, belief of fighting for right cause, class solidarity, loyalty to party etc?

If yes, why it is difficult to believe that some of the men of AVG could have signed in because of believing that they would fight for right cause, out of loyalty to one’s country ie patriotism etc?
