So why did the communists use only one soldier?


Why go to all that bother brainwashing all those men and only use one?

They all had different roles to play in getting the real communist players into power. Not only that, but their civilian lives weren't even remotely close to the senators and Presidents...only that one soldier was in position to do the job.
