Sir! No Sir! - The Suppressed Story of the GI Movement to End the War In Vietnam
This 12 minute trailer has already been posted and archived in DU, but it needs to remain visible! We have a younger generation who have been brainwashed about VietNam and war in general.

My husband and I just finished watching the full-length documentary on LINK channel (on DirecTV), and it will air again on Saturday at 4:00 p.m. EST.

I urge anyone who is interested in the reality of the VietNam war to watch this powerful documentary. This was MY generation, and I want the truth to be told!

1. I was in high school 70-74,,,
my father and I used to argue about war, and what WWII provided, how the US has to stand up to communism. The summer of '71, while watching the news, he turned to me and said, 'If you ever get a draft notice in the mail, I'm sending your ass up to Canada".
I never answered him back. I was too suprized that he too finally got it.

2. Our sons are 35 and 37, and when they were children, we told them the same thing - we would never
allow them to be drafted--we would all move to Canada....

5. Bought The DVD Last Year Some Time... It's Great & Gives Lots Of Details!
I was especially drawn to the Oleo Strut at Ft. Hood, TX as I was living there at the time. The group has many more DVD's for sale and keep me updated!

Something EVERY one should WATCH!!

6. I truly believe it was the soldiers who ended Vietnam . . .
"Sir, No Sir" is available on Netflix. Excellent film.
