Sir! No Sir! – The Gi Revolt
File Under: Politics
By 1971, as this skilfully made film shows, discontent was widely reported by the network news. Activists created newspapers, organized protests – and, most conspicuously, went to see Jane Fonda perform in the vicinity of various military bases. From our present-day perspective, what comes through most clearly is the passionate patriotism of most of these GIs hostile to the war. They loved America but they just didn’t see why they should be in Vietnam.

A great film. Very informative, I never knew much about the war there and how we did not finish it. What a shock! GIs really shut down the war, amazing, very amazing, brave souls.
