Remembering the antiwar efforts of GIs during the Moratorium days, and the GI movement more broadly, isn’t just an exercise in historical memory. The Vietnam War–era GI movement left an important model of resistance for later generations of antiwar soldiers and veterans, including up to the present.
However, the history of GI protest during the Vietnam War, the *actual *widespread examples of soldier resistance that have been largely erased from popular memory, pushes back against efforts to link the memory of US troops from the war with disdain for antiwar politics and support for war and militarism today. https://jacobin.com/2019/10/vietnam-war-moratorium-protest-gi-movement -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
