Holy Shit! I'm watching "SIR! NO SIR!"
What an outstanding anti-war flick! I am amazed. Has anyone else seen it? Glad I saw this on Amazon. Great addition to my library.

1. My senior thesis in history
was on underground GI newspapers, Vietnam era. There are amazing archives of these all over the country. Not surprisingly, there were hundreds and maybe thousands of different underground magazines and newspapers that were 1) regularly published and 2) very anti-war. I'm sure you came across a few in your experience.

I read about this film sometime last year I think, and I will definitely have to check it out now. Thanks!

Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. We had a few local (Monterey, CA)Vietnam War veterans. It was very, very interesting.
