it was really a ski corinthian of speed limits reticent as a asteroid came in scheme we could switch to look you eco scum for you. know so. now here musk a this is all teeny rushes and laying into the ether taking a you know how chill approach against syria foreign minister says the plans for anyone involved will destroy any part time like approach to solving the our country's current since. the count's pressures are in ukraine with another winter of discontent moving off to kiev failed to success been the case in with russia and its previously agreed fuel bills the kremlin maintains the current deal lies with international requirements can't be revised unilaterally. russia's remembering the

victims of that as non-school siege seven years ago over three hundred and thirty people were killed off on tablets help children teachers hostage and three days without food and water. up next also you look at how an antiwar movement that emerging the one nine hundred sixty s. changed the course of history. in the early one nine hundred sixty s. the united states government again sending combat troops to south. korea would make them go down or. ask yourself what's going to happen all the. america's stated goal was to spread democracy and defend freedom thirty years later the legacy of that ten year war which left fifty thousand americans and over three million vietnamese dead still remains unsettled and in the decades of debate that

followed the end of the war some stories and yet here. today your soldiers sailors airmen marines and coast guard are better educated than . a better informed. traditional american ingenuity and if. not better i suppose fast. and understand what the war is all about. killing. linked. lists. of. misunderstanding and it might be. different if the good. one i viewed were the military i were near colonel in basic training and there's lavender portraiture

school or a school would like oneself to really get a grip i try to spend my whole life having people live a better life and basically feel better since witness is still around. they tried to trick me into a kill they tried to trick me into somebody who could take a life it's just one thing in my life i feel like are content to say i didn't commit. pres. when i hear. them i will think you could say that for the most profitable for. you know those almost string which cross the pacific. there wasn't too much to do on a troop ship so we'd shoot up on the dark at night never read a lot of time to get to where we are what we're going to what it was later off and we go back and forth back and forth and we always are not concluding all those old we're doing the right thing because as the world all. during the vietnam war

american war movement emerged that altered the course of history this movement didn't take place on college campuses but in berets and on ships the flourished in army stockades navy grades in the dingy town surrounded military bases. and penetrated elite military colleges like west point and it spread throughout the battlefields of vietnam. it was a movement no one expected least of all those women hundreds went to prison and thousands into exile and by nine hundred seventy one it had in the words of one colonel confessed the entire farm services. get today few people know about the g.i. movement against the war in vietnam. and i was really proud of what i thought i was doing there earliest days of the war planted the seeds for the movement to come even among the first american troops in vietnam the elite green berets the problem i had was realizing that what i was doing was not good i was

doing it right but i wasn't doing the right. i was asked to train green beret people special forces men why were they training these guys to endure mythology while they were training them to dermatology in vietnam because they knew that if they were able to offer a few simple remedies and help cure a few children of some simple bacterial infections that that would include a shape themselves to the vietnamese community and you know you remember the phrase that winning the hearts and minds of the people so this was this was how you were going to win the hearts and minds of the people and while they were offering the bandaids of helping to cure a few cases of him to tie go they were bombing the hell out of the villages. i was out on patrol. and near hipwell and. we took a couple of prisoners and whether they were combatants or not you know. their

patrol was led by americans but every vietnamese aravind there and they were turned over to her and. then use the old fashioned methods of interrogation and force torture that was pretty common practice. i tell you as bad as that that is that treatment was the cynicism that attached to it was a part of it is really sickening and death of everything i've been talking to learn everything i grew up with this is just not the way you treat human beings. and there's a time for that you couldn't because i guess. i got out of the military in nineteen sixty six i got over because of the things i saw the things i was doing and that's the reason said we were given for doing it was a personal protest it was just me getting out of the service and there was no movement to join i found the war in vietnam more and more repulsive and i felt that

i just couldn't be a part of eventually i said look i'm not training you guys anymore i don't agree with what you're doing i think it's immoral i think it's medically on ethical and i just stopped a lot of the clinic. it took a few weeks for the army to catch up with that and when they did they invited me into the commanding officer office and said look what are you doing here and i told them exactly what i was doing i said i'm not training and they said well you know you should know the consequences of that and i said i'm perfectly aware of the consequences but i'm not training at that point it was obvious that it was going to be court martialed and a few days later i got the court martial nokes. howard levy spent three years in prison. along with him three g.i. as a fort hood who refused orders to vietnam and received five years hard labor and a dishonorable discharge army lieutenant henry how who carried a sign at a demonstration reading and johnson's fascist aggression in vietnam was sentenced

to two years and two marines william harvey and george daniel received six to ten year sentences for organizing a meeting about whether black people should fight in vietnam. and on march third one nine hundred sixty six former green beret donald duncan was the featured speaker at antiwar meeting at the town hall in manhattan i just wanted to do what i knew about it. and let people judge for themselves. i think the most startling thing to me occurred however as the court martial began what would happen was we would walk from the parking lot to the building with a quad march was being held and it was the most remarkable thing when hundreds hundreds of g.i. s. would hang out of windows out of the barracks and give me the v.

sign or give me the clenched fist this was mine to be dismissed or revelation and at that point it really became crystal clear to me that something had changed and that something very very important was heckling. a lot of people and. they feel like. i would inch i really don't know how many but i know how many i met when i was a majority of the men that i met in the service were opposed or really didn't know how to force their opinion give much thought. yes. making sixty eight was the turning point by then america had over a half a million troops in south vietnam during the lunar new year holiday called tet the enemy the north vietnamese air national liberation front arms launched an offensive

that overran the entire country before being pushed back a tet offensive reveal that the enemy had widespread support from the vietnamese people and america was mired in a war it couldn't win and the soldiers beginning to question the war in the wake of the tet offensive thousands began going to a wall were absent without leave many found their way to san francisco where series of events brought the emerging g.i. antiwar movement onto the national stage. we joined together. eventually i might be sixty eight when we took sanctuary in the church and change our sense of minstrels . we essentially called the press and said to them we're not going to get we were refusing orders and in fact we were signing from the military to come and get it. the fact that it took them three day to decide has killed this to flee great. tendency to lose. and

had no idea what was going to come and that's a free place it's a really free place you know you get yeah you know what's going to happen you know where you're going but you know what you're doing. here and that was my introduction to the surface to scupper city stockade. the population fluctuate usually upwards it was still pretty can control like if you sixty and there were some sometimes double that in there. were crowded. for those close. to the shores guards for me it was because of the fun. with the nine for peace held in military prisons soldiers throughout the bay area began planning for the first war demonstration in the country organized by g.i.'s

and veterans. i was an a member of the medical committee for human rights we got together a number of times and talked about how we were going to organize active duty to go to the peace demonstration and then i remember also hearing about the b. fifty two bombers that were dropping leaflets on vietnam urging the vietnamese to defect and i thought well if they can do it overseas then we can hire a small private plane loaded up with leaflets and dropped leaflets on the trades. alison's and balance things out replace them one point i know we were a little concerned about getting shot. but not. every deli baby landed pretty accurately naps with a test of my car. and on my way driving

into the demonstration i decided i was going to wear my naval uniform and my opinion was fairly straightforward it was it was more like we are his uniform for the war talking to congress as to duty for son i certainly had the same rights that he did i could wear my uniform protesting the united states and. cities and small was court martialed by the navy for making a political statement while in uniform and following the march for a while g.i.'s turn themselves into the pursued your army stockade or keith mathur was being held so again to sign kind of by the movement people to go into the stockade and find out what was going on because they had been shot this prisoner and killed and one thousand year old private michael brutsch life in the army had been little more than a series of a wall violations his last stop was here the pursuit of your stockade where he was fatally shot last friday while trying to escape from the work detail. but the

guard shot him and killed him you know point blank and his only crime so someone if you're. going to want. to really gauge and for no good reason not unlike a lot of his brothers. you know so. so we reacted. this really. with anger and just our bridge. you toward actually we were the wires of the walls we were the squawk box off the wall and then things start to calm down because we started playing we came to a decision that best thing we could do was to have some kind of demonstration and it was at the roll call formation we had a signal that was what was was a break regs and we didn't know we walked over here and sat down at a certain point came out and read us the act we just kept saying louder and to link

arms and sing we were scared and i'll tell you we were really scared we have them right where we want to be finally listening to us that's the first time i can ever remember anybody listening to us while i was in the military. the commanding general of the sixth army which was the jurisdiction and he said that they thought that the revolution was about to start and they really had to set an example you know come down hard and we were the guys that they decided to do that with and they did i mean we were on trial for a life. you know i got a game it was unable and you know within two days of getting the stockade i was i was facing death sentence. for saying we sure about.

nationwide support this idea when he said. jack. the power was wounded three times where i was and the bush and then the third time i was wounded was on december twentieth sixty seven and we got overrun by north vietnamese regulars they started like a human wave. and the guy came up behind her wall and stuck his rifle in all and i sort of front sight of an a k forty seven a muzzle flash right and i am sixteen point zero when i started post pulled my trigger when i saw a change. and a bullet hit me in the news and i blacked out came to a few minutes later and the gun was jammed and my knee was shattered. after the fighting ended in the sun came up and they carried me over to this guy who had shot

me and he was sitting up against a tree stump and he was dead he had three bullet holes of his chest and he has a carry laying across his lap and his sergeant said yours is good you killed he did a good job and i was in his car and he was about my age and. and i said i think you know why is he dead now alive it was just a matter of pure luck and i started thinking well i wonder if you had a girlfriend if you know how his mother was going to find things like that. when he just went through an experience of that nature and you find out that it's all lies and they're just lying to the american people and your silence means that you're part of keeping them going i couldn't stop i mean i couldn't be so you know i thought i had a responsibility to my friends and to the country in general and if you had to make the last hour you i shot i don't consider is the first shot but it was the first shot where i was you know the barrel with him and looked him in the face afterwards

and i felt a certain amount of responsibility to. to make it his life to visit his does not be in vain meant that i had to try and every cave for all of the justness that he was fighting for good i believe he was fighting for his country so i became involved in the whole as there were. with more and more soldiers turning against the war the handful of peace activists open the first of what would become a network from dozens of its more g.i. coffee houses located in the towns that hover near military bases to the dusty texas town of killing just outside fort hood which housed over twenty thousand troops we came home with a g.i. coffee house known as the only all strive. to. be an enemy army. here and then out right. i can figure out i can get on any army the minute to an hour of my. name only i was struck came

from a shock absorber out of hell so that's what the only real stroke was it was a place where you go there and it's old soldiers and they had a record player and all the latest rock records and underground papers and using out we're. going to go out on ambush and like one period we go out on ambush and soon we are good people you know the early morning and stuff. because they've got to get right down there. a majority of women and you know if you're right there right there are very. very very good they're out there friends don't let anyone or anyone here thinks you can back out of them and hopefully being hurt by this is going on and you know he's making a mistake because of the supporting.

the open on going on has cropped up and subtle are made. basically today's so-called underground g.i. press which consists largely of anti-war newspapers military authorities are clamping down hard on the papers recently there was an underground newspaper laying on the bed and it's called the last harass they feel that they were freaking out this is authorized material and this is a person material here not a lot of have any copies of this inside the barracks just turn us in immediately that night then the paper then with one around in the barracks everybody's reading it two or three guys a time sitting around on a bed around guys beds and stuff like that checking out the paper what i liked about it was the fact that the officers hated me. every day had to be good we haven't heard how to do something about this that was good types mimeographed printed the g.i. underground press exploded. her travel advisory board in jordan last harass

washington fort benning georgia air force for your board to. fort hood texas to take pres it's published by a group of radical soldiers stationed at this army base and we use a distributed plan doesn't only on base from go around and leave bunches of them embarrassed as we go through nightly month as if you were caught distributing literature there was a court martial friends shortly after the first issue was published the g.i. found out that the press gypsy peterson was pulled over by fort hood police and a vacuum. in claimed the files remnants of marijuana arrested him for possession of marijuana and example suppressors move following it today trial in a texas court city peterson was sentenced to eight years in prison for fraud north carolina's brief for jackson's short times our blog project the site was pure spite the military's best efforts the underground press became the night club of the g.i.

movement as the army's own recruiting slogan fun travel and adventure turned into the popular g.i. expression of the. press and lead soldiers around the world and inspired many outside the military you know i grew up believing that if our flag was flying over a battlefield that we were on the side of the angels my father fought in the second world war he won awards and medals and. you know i grew up during that good wars here's this one. who steps out on to the world stage is a famous actress comes from one of the ruling class families in hollywood and makes a political decision to change sides she steps onto the side of the people in particular the vietnamese people she stands with the g.r.s. and she stands with movement and she says i'm going to stand with this i'm going to give vent to i'm going to help support it and build it you know several like that you have to be a show mr president that's

a terrible demonstration going on outside all there's always a demonstration going on outside richard what is completely out of control when they're asking for this time three hour day but i don't want to go prisoners out yet not now and perhaps all government officials people they care about. your job and i'll do my job without you going to stop this storming of my power that you're going to call out a third marine you can't richard why not. four years program or maybe even bob hope to tour entertaining american troops but soon the cheers turned to cheers and a new kind of entertainment emerged. howard levy himself a celebrity within the g.i. movement he met with donald sutherland and me and he said what if we put together. an antiwar show that's you know the opposite side of the coin from the from the bob hope show. let's look at life.

after the army we always said free the army or fun travel and adventure but it really meant the army. here was a way that i could combine my profession my acting with my desire to end the war it just seemed like a perfect fit. for this show that we bring to these bases is not trying to tell the people on the bases anything that they don't know we are coming in response to what is probably the most powerful movement going on in this country the movement of the man inside the military and women who are beginning to understand how they're being used and what the nature of american foreign policy is and we come there because

they have asked us to come there because for the last year we have read in the newspapers from vietnam from from russia germany from okinawa from the philippines and from what we want is entertainment we want people to speak to how we feel are the majority of us don't know why we're going over there that we don't know why we're being shot up we don't know why our bodies are being killed we don't know why we're killing those people. the truck where you will be. russian we're. all good we should be a bit more military if you really. really like where's the right. thing. i'm not being more present. i'm not being that. guy will come from a longer country so you didn't people coming in with different information about

black alice strobel if that you know black unity you feel good about yourself even to really question which will be a lot. but i remember one day of the first sargent was talking about kooks naive i was i didn't know any deep was a racial slur i didn't really understand it you know one day he was talking about groups and i remember like when a family hear this and because the save these amazing. things began to start clicking in my head life was don't know.

from. for the full scope we've got it for. the biggest issues get a human voice ceased to face with the news makers.

from. the.
