Early in the anti-Vietnam war movement (1964-65), Youth Against War and Fascism raised the slogan "Bring the GIs home now!" It contended successfully with "Negotiate Now" at a SANE-organized demonstration in Washington on Thanksgiving weekend, 1965. Another favorite was "Big firms get rich, GIs die." Later, the SWP used "Bring the troops home" with and without the now, as I remember, but maybe someone who was with them then can comment. It was always a natural response to "Well, we have to support the troops, don't we?" I was organizing troops against the war then, in the American Servicemen's Union, so it always seemed obvious.
