  Deception has been a fundamental part of human interaction throughout history, shaping societies, relationships, and institutions. Whether through subtle manipulation, outright lies, or carefully crafted misinformation, deception influences decisions, perceptions, and behaviors in both personal and collective spheres. While often viewed negatively, deception is not always malicious; in some cases, it serves strategic, protective, or even necessary functions. Understanding the role deception plays in society requires examining its various forms, motivations, and consequences. 
  One of the most common areas where deception is prevalent is in personal relationships. People deceive for different reasons, ranging from self-preservation to maintaining social harmony. White lies, for example, are often used to spare feelings or avoid unnecessary conflict, while more harmful deceptions, such as infidelity or emotional manipulation, can cause deep and lasting damage. The complexity of deception in relationships highlights its dual nature—sometimes beneficial, sometimes destructive. 
  Beyond personal interactions, deception extends into professional and institutional environments. In workplaces, deceptive practices can manifest as misleading job descriptions, false performance evaluations, or office politics designed to manipulate outcomes. Deception in business, such as false advertising or hidden fees, can mislead consumers, erode trust, and cause financial harm. Similarly, political deception—through propaganda, misinformation, and strategic framing of facts—shapes public opinion, influencing elections, policies, and societal norms.

  Robert Foley had only been in Vietnam for six months when he was promoted to captain and given command of a rifle company. In November 1966, Foley led his men on a mission to rescue another company that had been pinned down by Viet Cong forces. His leadership that day inspired his men and led to a successful operation—and the Medal of Honor. His actions in Vietnam were only a small portion of a long and varied career of service in the US Army, but Foley did not always seem marked for success. Coming from a blue-collar suburb of Boston, his years in West Point were marked by poor grades, injuries, and sickness. With a determination to lead by example and inspire trust among others, Foley served across the globe and rose through the ranks. He even returned to West Point as Commandant of Cadets, later retiring as a 3-star general and commander of Fifth Army.

  My Amazing 35 Year Journey...

  Hey there and welcome to the second half of my memoir. Part 2 literally picks up where Part 1 left off, so don't be alarmed by the fact that Part 2 starts at Chapter 101 because it's just a continuation of Part 1 which left off at Chapter 100. By the way, if you haven't read Part 1, there's no sense in reading Part 2. You'll notice that there is no front matter other than the Table of Contents, because I'm really treating this as one single book. Anyway, it's not too complicated. Well, get ready for a very bumpy ride indeed because where Part 1 could be characterized as a talented guy who sobers up and ends up traveling the world getting in every door he knocks on, Part 2 could be characterized as a guy hell bent on destroying himself with drugs and alcohol while living in Thailand and all the chaos that goes with it, including being jailed in Thailand 5 times. By the way, what you hear here happened exactly as is spoken.
