Viet Nam: how the soldiers stopped the war |
*Thus spake God's Creator*
*GI's still fighting the wars for the rich and famous*
The Vietnam war was not stopped by large, legal protests alone =96
it was stopped by the very GIs who were ordered to fight it.
The American military in Vietnam was mostly made up of working
class conscripts and enlistees; their officers, on the other hand,
tended to be from the middle and upper middle class. The officers
=96 or =93lifers=94 as they were called derisively =96 often put their =
men
in deadly situations, in order to get promotions. This was not the
only source of tension. GIs increasingly resented the fact that
they had been lied to; they were not defending democracy in South
Vietnam, they were defending a hated police-dictatorship.
In the U.S., some young workers were becoming radicalized by the
ghetto uprisings and wildcat strikes, and came into contact with
left-wing ideas through the student anti-war movement. Other young
workers drafted in these years were radicalized after they went into
the army =96 when they came into conflict with the =93lifers=94 and wer=
e
forced to defend a government that the Vietnamese didn=92t want to
defend.
