Sir! No Sir! A movie

[kansasblue]

I just saw it. What happens when the troop stop believing in the war?

In the 1960’s an anti-war movement emerged that altered the course of history. This movement didn’t take place on college campuses, but in barracks and on aircraft carriers. It flourished in army stockades, navy brigs and in the dingy towns that surround military bases. It 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 in it. Hundreds went to prison and thousands into exile. And by 1971 it had, in the words of one colonel, infested the entire armed services. Yet today few people know about the GI movement against the war in Vietnam.

2. Yep, I saw Ebert and Roeper do a piece on this movie....

It was one of their video picks this week. They said some nice things about the movie in general and Jane Fonda in particular.
