Refuse Nam
Gis Say o~We Won't Go!�T
More and more Gls are refusing orders
to go to Vietnam. At Fort Lewis,
Washington, six Gls who had been among
a group of thirteen trying to get out of
the Army as Conscientious Objectiors
refused their orders to go.
Claiming their initial application for
discharge had been improperly processed,
the six put enough pressure on the fortTs
Commanding General that he gave in and
let them file a second application
While this one was being processed
they were segregated from the rest of the
troops. A few days after their second
application was refused, the six received
orders for Nam.
They all refused the order to leave B
Troop and go to the overseas replacement
center. Four of the group are now being
confined in the stockade and two are
being confined in the barracks.
Another case involves a Black career
soldier named Bill who had served six
years in the Army and was on his second
enlistment. He had one tour in Korea and
one in Vietnam, where he won the Army
Commendation Medal and the Air Medal.
When he received orders for a second tour
~of duty in Vietnam, he refused to go.
He was a model soldier with a totally
clean redecord. No bad marks of any
kind. Bill got two years at hard labor,
total forfeiture of all pay and allowances,
reduction to the grade of Private (E-1)
and a Bad Conduct Discharge.
The prosecuter revealed all when he
told the court martial board to remember
that Bill was indeed a model soldier, and
that a light sentence might encourage
other similarly o~model�T soldiers to do the
same thing, figuring they could get away
with it.
It is hard to get the figures on the
number of Vietnam refusals, but a source
working close to _ the Overseas
Replacement Center at Ft. Lewis said
that the number is close to five refusals a
week. The number at the Oakland Army
Base Shipping Center is even higher.
To refuse orders in the military is a
real act of courage, especially those
sending you to a war, since the military is
real uptight in this area. Disobeying
orders carries a maximum penalty of five
years in confinement in time of peace and
the death penalty in time of war. So
anyone refusing orders is taking a hell of
a chance and sould be solidly defended
by the people.

Hong Kong, Saigon, Bangkok, Sydney, San Diego, San Francisco. Liberty
towns live off GI dollars like a leech lives off its host. For those who have just
been transfered here, here's information on hustles to avoid -- and some good
places to go.
THE HAIGHT -ASHBURY
If you have never been to San Francisco before, it's tard to know where to go.
Many start with a trip to the old Haight-Ashbury. Before 1965, the Haight was one
of SF's many working class districts -- low rent, corner grocery stores, two story
houses, a merchants' association, and a community-minded population.
But around 1965, two gererations of 'beatniks' began moving into the Haight.
1968 was the end of the summer of love. By 1969, the Haight and New York's
Lower East Side were America's most famous white youth ghettoes. : ¢ F MIME TROUPE

* ChildrenTs Shows at noon on these dates,
Almost every club on Broadway is devoted to the exploitation of women and the
banalization of sex. The clubs make money by having men pay to see women go through
the motions of men's sexual fantasies. The point is that these clubs transform women
human beings into sexual objects (some THING to be laughed at, draled over, stared
ope and played with ) just as the brass transforms male human beings into degraded
objects (some THING to be yelled at, ordered around, de-humanized, and abused. )
Since we of MDM are against the exploitation of all people everywhere, we are
strongly against GI's patronizing clubs or businesses which degrade women.
One place to check out is the Jazz Workshop. Top bookings. Fairly expensive
except Thursday nights when GI's and women are admitted free. Phone: 362-9246.
Grant Avenue is the other part of North Beach. It used to be one of the centers
of the Italian community, and later the beatnik scene. The streets are smaller and
darker, but the games are the same. Beware of sheep in wolves clothing (nares and
long-hair hustlers). Many clothing and craft stores. Look up side streets for coffee
shops. North Beach Cafe and Gallery at 567 Vallejo is a good place for sitting,
talking, and chess playing. Open 24 hours. On Green Street you'll find the
Spaghetti Factory. They've got a bar and about twenty tables. Very popular.
Spaghetti, wine, and french bread place. Dinner for about $2.50.
On the other side of Columbus, check out Pitschel Players. They work out of
an old church called 'Intersection' at 756 Union. Satire theater. Admission is cheap
the company friendly. Free black bread and coffee are served. @ONSE p10
TRAVIS AF
HARRASS
Some of our supervisors are really
screwed up. We have like some 20-year
technical sergeants. Must be the E-6
running around. They'll harrass you all
the time. They won't let you do your
work for the harassment they give out
all the time.
The lifers are still trying to hold on
to this dictatorship-like power that they
have over the people under them. The
big problem that's come right now is that
people are finally realizing that nowhere
in the Constitution of the United States
does it say, ". . . except for people in
the military." These lifers are definitely
trying to hold onto their grasp on the
people under them so that they can keep
this little petty power that they have.
Most of these lifers that I've seen
are insecure people anyway. The only
reason that they stay in the military is
because they really couldn't make it on
the outside. They try to tell you that
it's because they got so much respons-
ibility, but the basic fact is that they
couldn't make it on the outside if they
had to come out of the military.
Most of the colonels are looking for
that little star on their shoulder and the
light birds are always looking for the
bird on their shoulder. And they'll do
just about anything they can to get this
ittle extra rank. So they fuckTover all
their people all the time.
Point 7 of the MDM program dem-
ands the abolition of the class structure
of the military. It is this class structure
that lets lifer NCO's fuck us over. It
is the class structure that lets the brass
compete with each other for more

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Blue,
During the last few months an
international Gl organization has
started up. It is a group of active duty
GI's working with their civilian brothers
and sisters. The organization is Move-
ment For a Democratic Military. Until
this time Travis Air Force Base has been
almost completely left out, but that is
to be no more. We now have people
willing to back us, and we have also
gotten our own page in Up Against the
Bulkhead. is
Ihe days of inactivity have ended.
Join hands with your brothers and
sisters and throw off the hand of
oppression. We at Travis will no longer
be counted as puppets any more.
RAW DEAL
On Friday, July 17, 1970 AIC G
was leaving the bowling alley. He
was assaulted by three men. That night
he was taken to the hospital for X-rays to
ee
check on his minor injuries. Air Police
were there. They started interrogating
him about aarti that happened.
He was asked if he could recognize
anybody. For four straight nights
following the incident APES kept calling
him back for questions. AIC G
hadn't seen who jumped him, but each
night they laid into him more. They
made him feel like he was the guilty
one reather than the guys who jumped
him. They seemed to think G was
holding back some information. They
threatened to redline his orders if he
wouldn't tell them who jumped him. He
went to his senior officer. That brought
no results. The APES continued to
harass AIC G. He stood up for himself
and threatened to take his case "some-
where else". At that point the APES
finally backed down.

JUSTICE 1984
Many times during the last few years
| have heard the word "pig" used. But
to Sgt. Yeager the word has taken on a
new meaning. It now means a precious
playtoy of the Air Force has just been
insulted and a reason for him to get
very uptight. It also means there is
another dangerous person to keep from
doing his regular job by keeping him
away from the planes and out of sight on
some shit detail.
Sound familiar? Unfortunately it
does. ~Cause, Brothers, that is exactly
what happened to me. | accidentally,
while working outside my duty section
got pissed because nothing had been
going right that day and unknowingly |
called a C-133 aircraft a pig. To him it
instantly became a general case and a
reason a me to be put out of sight
behind a broom in some building. Luck-
ily Yeager is leaving soon, but that is
not the point. How many more Yeagers
are there in the Air Force? All of you
know at least two or three I'm sure, and
all of you would like to see this sort of
harassment ended forever, but through
ignorance, fear, or just downright
complacency have failed to do anything
about it.
Point number three of the MDM
program demands, "STOP ALL MILITARY
CENSORSHIP AND INTIMIDATION,"
Brothers, the time for this bullshit to
stop is at hand. Arise and be counted.
Organize with your brothers and sisters
that are being oppressed and you can
break the hold the lifers have over you.
There is power in numbers and if we get
our shit together, we can break the rule
of all those petty dictators and show them
who are the real pigs in the Air Force.

CONTEMPT
The brass at Travis show their con-
tempt for enlisted men every day.
Most of us joined the Air Force to
avoid being drafted into the army. We
were also fed some bullshit by recruiters
about the training we'd get which we
could use as civilians so we wouldn't
have to do some shitty job. We aren't
getting that training. I've been at
Travis three months. Of that time I've
only worked on my job one week.

July 30, about 200 black soldiers
fought off MPs at Ft. Carson and liberated
a section of that base. Rocks and bottles
were used to pelt the Military Pigs. Before
the MPs could get reinforcements into the
area, everybody had split. Then the next
morning the post held a shakedown: for
everyone on base from Ist Lt. on down.
Rumors that circulated an base blamed the
shakedown on the liberation of 200 M-lés
from an MP company on Sunday night.
Also reports reached MDM Ft Carson that
48 guns had been bought by Gls in Colo-

the destroyer will be out of action at least

WISCONSIN ARMY BASE BLOWN
Three bombs exploded almost simu-
Itaneously at three widely separated
places on the Camp McCoy Army Base in
Wisoncsin early Sunday morning after a
caller told the brass that a bomb had been
planted on the post.
Electric power was knocked out for
ninety minutes. One explosion caused
extensive damage at the telephone ex-
change and the electrical power substa-
tion that feeds it. Another explosion hit
the camp's main electrical plant. The
third blast dug a deep hole in the ground
near a water reservoir.
Last month three pounds of TNT and
some smoke grenades vanished from a test
range. Some 100 miles north of Madison,
Camp McCoy is a summer training center
for National Guardsmen and Army reserv-
ists. There are, however, some full-time
personnel at the camp.
MDM EXPOSES GENERALS EM COUNCIL
"Sit. Listen. Rap.T That was Gen.
RodgersT plan at Ft. Carson. This is the
latest of many attempts by the brass to hand
the brothers token reforms. At some districts
in the Navy, the brass has brought about
more lax hair regulations, beards, sideburns
and mustaches.
One MDM brother got elected to this
phony EM council, but soon thereafter was
thrown off by the Gen for hanging around
the Home Front Coffee House which serves
as organizing center for Ft. Carson.
This brother came back to the ~openT
meeting with some MDM friends. This
meeting was attended by about 150 Gls,
with the Commanding Gen Rodgers in
charge. The brother stood up and read the
MDM program as the type of military we
want to see - one that serves the needs of
the common everyday GI and civilian, not
the type we have now that only serves the
interests of the brass and their rich friends.
The ~liberalT General called in the MPs at
this time and six brothers were arrested.
Five of the people busted were MDM Gls
and one was a civilian working with the
coffee house and MDM.
This Gen Rodgers has gone so far in
his attempts to co-opt the GI movement
on his base that he has set up a counter
coffee house on base stocked with antiwar
posters. The General figures that if there
has to be a movement on his base, then he
ought to control it. No appeasement. We
want everything.

of the black Vietnam vets are unemployed,
5| % are in semi or unskilled jobs, 16% are

court-martialed Richard Chase who all
refused in any way to be connected with
riot control. The 43 black Gls refused to
participate in riot duty in Chicago during
the Democratic National Convention in
the summer of '68. Richard Chase refused
to train for riot control & was then court-
martialed and sentenced to two years at
hard labor.
The other two demands dealt with
racism and constitutional rights. Since
the formation of the committee the Pen-
tagon has decided that it was no longer
safe to train troops for riot control at Ft.
Hood. What is happening now is that
the Gls are instead being shipped to
Vietnam at the rate of 1000 a month.
Ft. Carson, Colorado, and Ft. Bragg,
North Carolina are the two remaining
major riot control centers.
SOMEBODY MISPLACED 80,000 GI'S
The Army's own records show that over
80,000 GI's are missing, according to a
reliable Pentagon contact. To combat this
problem the Army has recently established a
300 man team whose sole job is to track down
the 80,000 names.
Gl's have been submitting a large num-
ber of fake change-of-duty forms to jam the
bureaucratic records, permitting themselves
and others to desert more safely. The Marine
Corps desertion rate is up 50% over last
year, and late reports from Nam indicate
that 10 Gis split from US ranks each day.
Persistent rumors say that many are now
fighting with the NLF.

The sad effects of slavery
| can no Imger stand.
***** q fugitive slave song
When your orders for Indochina come
down, you're left with few alternatives:
go, get discharged, refuse orders, or go
over the hill. This article is for those
who've decided to go North. All the
information is up-to-date and accurate
as of August, 1970.
Since the war started, there have
been officially 250,000 guys AWOL over
30 days from the Army. That figure does
not even include the other branches of
the service or those who split and weren't
caught. Of those who leave the country,
most go to Canada. Our guess is that
there are around 50,000 ex-Gl's north of
the border. You are not alone.
Is it legal?
Although you've technically violated
military law, you are breaking no Can-
adian laws when you enter their country
as a deserter. On May 22, 1969, the
Canadian Minister of Manpower and Im-
migration said, "If a serviceman from
another country meets our immigration
criteria, he will not be turned down be-
cause he is still in the active service of
his country . . . The selection criteria
and requirements applying to him will be
the same as those that apply to other
applicants. "
How can | travel safely ?
Because you're AWOL, local police
are likely to get a hold order on you if
you're stopped while hitch-hiking. So
even though hitch-hiking is legal in Ca-
lifornia and Oregon (it's a sure bust in
Washington), try to avoid it. When
crossing into Canada, don't be hitching
a ride in someone's car, and don't be
riding a motorcycle. People riding buses
are checked very carefully. Trains and
planes are far and away the least hassle.
Also try and appear neat and well -dressed.
For information on |.D.'s, clothing, etc,
see the article "How Deserters are Caught. "
How can | enter Canada as a visitor?
As far as they're concerned, you are
an American tourist, and as such, will be
questioned by frontier or airport officials.
You'll be asked the reason for your visit
and the length of time you plan to stay. It
is very important that you have a round trip
ticket and cash enough for your stay. Have
at least $15 for every day you'll be visiting.
You will also be asked for identification.
Do not show your military |1.D. Use your
drivers license, birth certificate, or pass-
port. A US citizen is not required to have
a passport for travel to Canada, but it's a
good idea to have one. There is absolutely
no need to approach a Canadian embassy
or consulate, or a US diplomatic office.
They often give false inkattotion and might
have you busted.
ee e-s
citizen, you are also
It is recommended that you first enter
Canada as a visitor. It is legal, and lets
you check out things before you return to
the border to re-enter as a landed immigrant.
You may be lucky in bringing back a job
offer which will greatly increase your chances
of being re-admitted as a landed immigrant.
How do | enter Canada as
a landed immigrant ?
A landed immigrant is anyone who has
been lawfully admitted to Canada for per-
manent residence. Even if you first enter
as a visitor, you'll eventually end up app-
lying within Canada for landed immigrant
status. Be sure you understand that you are
an American in exile, and that you may
never be able to return to the US without
facing jail. This applies even during fam-
ily emergencies. One brother who returned
for his fathers' funeral was met just before
by FBI agents. Remember: although you
are on your way to becoming a Canddian
part of the Second
American Revolutionary Army in Exile.
As a landed immigrant you. can work,
attend school, have every right of Canadian
citizens except voting or possessing a pass-
port. After your first five years in Canada,
you'll be able to apply for Canadian citi-
zenship. You can apply for landed immig-
rant status in five ways:
|. At the Border. This is the quick-
est method. A decision will be made on
the spot. Most Americans apply at the
border after first entering Canada as a
visitor to check out jobs and living con-
ditions. Recommended.
2. By Mail from the US. Get an
application from a Canadian consulate
or from Ottawa. Submit it by mail to
the immigration office in the region in
which you hope to settle. This will take
up to four months, and is not recommended.
3. Ata Consulate. You can appear
at a Canadian consulate in the US and
ask them to process your application.
This also takes four months and is not
recommended.
4. From within Canada. Those who
cross the border as visitors apply at im-
migration offices throughout Canada, It
takes sometimes three months to be pro-
cessed, and you will not be able to work
Until your application has been approved.
This method is safe because you will apply
from within the safety of Canada and will
be able to deal with immigration officers
in person.
5. Through Canadian Relatives.
These with relatives in Canada immigrate
easily. They apply in your behalf, Dep-
endent relatives are accepted almost
~automatically.
On October |, 1967, a series of new
immigration regulations were passed. You
need to earn 50 units out of a possible 100
to obtain landed immigrant status. Here's
how ~it works.
a) EDUCATION AND TRAINING,
20 units.. One unit for each successfully
completed year of formal training and for
each year of professional, vocational, and
fcavell oes training. A high school
degree, then, is worth |2 units, a B.A.
worth I|6 units.
b) PERSONAL ASSESSMENT, 15 units.
The interviewing officer decides here if he
likes ate and thinks you're going to be able
to make it in Canada. These units are not
figured until last, and are used by an of-
ficer to accept or reject close cases.
c) OCCUPATIONAL DEMAND, [5
units. If you've got a skill which happens
to be in demand, you're rated high.
d) OCCUPATIONAL SKILL, 10 units.
Professional skills count highest. Unskilled
workers get just one point.
e) AGE, I0 units. You get the max-
imum if you're between [8 and 35.
f) ARRANGED EMPLOYMENT, 1I0
units. If you've got a letter from an em-
ployer which says you've got a job waiting
for you if you get in, it really helps. Do
not try to fake something. These letters
are usually checked immediately with a
phone call.
g) KNOWLEDGE OF ENGLISH AND
FRENCH, [0 units. ~vu get five units for
each language you read, write, and speak
fluently. + Partial knowledge helps, too.
h) RELATIVE, 5 units. If you have a
relative in Canada who is going to help
you get settled, you get three points. You
get the maximum if you're settling in the
town in which that relative lives. A letter
helps here, too.
i) EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
IN THE AREA OF DESTINATION, 5 units.
If you're headed for an area which needs
workers, you get the maximum. The in-
dustrial cities of southern Ontario and the
mining towns of the North usually rate hi.
Jobs: Unemployment is high now
dtnsetty on the West Coast. The Ot-
tawa area is supposedly good for farm
work. Skilled farm workers, as well as
those skilled in construction, mechanics,
plumbing, and other trades, are usually
in demand.
Harrassment: Canadian law does not
officially allow FBI agents in. But there
have been recent cases of Canadian
Mounted Police taking American GI's to
the border and turning them over to Amer-
ican border patrols.
Getting settled: Contact one of the
groups listed at the end of this article.
They'l| get you a temporary place to live,
odd jobs, and put you in touch with
friends. For more detailed information -

HOW DESERTERS ARE CAUGHT
When a man goes AWOL, these
people should be notified to watch for
him: the MPs at his base, the local
police, the police in his home-town,
the police in any other town where it
is thought he might go (for instance,
the town where his wife or girl-friend
lives).
After he has been gone 30 days, he
is listed as a deserter and these same
police forces will be notified of that
fact. (Being listed as a deserter doesnTt
have anything to do with whether or
not he is prosecuted for desertion; it is
just an administrative classification.)
At this point, information on him is
sent to the FBI, which then distributes
his name to police forces throughout
the country.
Most deserters are apprehended
without any effort on the part of the
authorities. They either turn
themselves in or make a mistake which
puts them in the hands of a local
police force. If a deserter Coes not
turn up after a few months, the FBI
may send an agent to question
members of the family and in other
ways search for the man. If he is still
not found they may repeat the
attempt to find him later. (A deserter
who has a security clearance should
not expect to be treated in the way
just described. The FBI should be
notified immediately after his absence
is noted and they will look for him.)
Deserters who stay in the U.S. are
often caught because they make
mistakes like these:
oThey go to their hometowns or
the places where their families or
girl-friends or wives live. Their
families, friends, or neighbors turn
them in, or the local police recognize
them.
oThey stay near bases where they
were stationed. They go near other
military bases and are spotted as
omilitaryTT.
oThey are questioned or picked up
by the police on another matter. This
happens because they do not avoid the
kinds of neighborhoods, companions,
activities or ways of dress which
attract cops. Or it happens because
they are picked up on traffic offenses,
for hitchhiking, or similar things.
oThey wear military jackets,
boots, or other easily spotted clothing.
*They carry their military 1.D. in
the same place as the civilian |.D. they
are using or keep it some place where
it can be spotted. (It is best to keep
the military 1.D. available, however, to
prove you were AWOL and not
deserting if you are caught.)
"They let family or friends know
where they are living usually by
writing letters which give their return
address or which carry the post-mark
of the city they are living in.
*They tell their stories to people
they meet.
oThey give confused or
contradictory answers when asked
about their draft status or about what
they have been doing in the recent
past " instead of having a simple story
ready.
*Some may get caught because
they file income tax returns under
their own names and use their old
social security numbers " instead of
changing their names or changing the
spelling of their last names and then
getting new identification and social
security cards. (Anyone who lies on a
social security application could be
prosecuted for that and sentenced to
up to 5 years in jail.)
A BUST
What to do when busted in SF
|. Always remember that the pigs
are a long way from trying to help you
or your friends. In basic, they drilled
the Code of Conduct into you, and it
applies here. Whether just stopped or
arrested, remain silent. Give only your
name, rank, serial number, and duty
station. The Fifth Amendment and
Article 31 of the UCMJ give you the
right to say nothing which could be used
against you. If you have been AWOL
for a long time, you might beat a
desertion rap by tdling the arresting
officer that you're a Gl.
2. If the pig is not in uniform,
demand to see his 1.D. He is required
by law to identify himself as a police
officer. Remember his name and badge
number. As you are being arrested,
shout your name to those around you.
They can call City Prison and arrange
bail.
Don't get pushy with your so-called
"rights". He's got a gun and thinks he
knows the laws. Do not call hima "pig
and jive like that. They are stowed by
law to use "reasonable force" in making
arrests. Calling them pigs to their
faces gives them reason to use more force.
It may also become a separate charge.

3. They do have the right to "pat
search" you by feeling the outside of
your clothing. This is usually done to
see if you have any weapons in your
possession. They are not within the law
to search shasaah your pockets, car, or
home UNLESS they either have a search
warrant or "probable cause". "Probable
cause" means they have reasonable
grounds to believe a crime has been
committed.
Technically, you don't have to con-
sent to a search. Always try and say, in
front of a witness if possible, that you do
not consent to this search. This forces
them to prove in court that they had
"probable cause" to believe that you had
committed a crime. When you don't
consent to the search, you might also
deny them the opportunity to plant.
Remember that they are not legally
allowed to conduct a search for evidence
of a crime unconnected to what you
were stopped for. For example, an
auto violation does not give them the
right to search your car UNLESS they
claim to have seen "suspicious activities"
in the car.
They can only "strip search" you
after arrest and after arrival at the local
concentration camp. A real smart move
is don't carry friends' names, false 1. D.
($150 minimum fine in Cal), dope or
illegal weapons.
4. No matter what comes down,
never resist arrest in any way, that's a
separate charge. Even if you're
acquitted for the crime you resisted for,
you'll still do time for resisting arrest.
The pigs don't have to say "You're
under arrest". Who knows what sneaky
ways they've dreamed up to get you on
that one? They can also detain you for
reason of suspicion. That means so much
we could write volumes on it.
5. Never get ina friendly conver-
sation with the pigs on the way to and
at the station. After you're busted,
nothing you say can get you cut loose.
Anything you say will be used to hang
you. The pigs have a habit of interpret-
ing things you say in a detrimental
fashion.
6. After you're booked you have
the right to make a reasonable amount of
phone calls. This varies from state to
state. This right is often not granted,
or they won't give you money or change.
Your brothers behind bars most times
will. If you don't contact a lawyer
call someone who can, quickly.
In most cases you'll be turned over
to the Pigs at your duty station or
nearest military instillation so they can
fuck you over for a while. After you do
civil time you'll have to do time for
Uncle Sam. It's a bitch GI's have to
Many servicemen are discontented
pay twice for the same "crime. "
7. You're allowed to hire and see
a luwyer immediately. Don't let them
bullshit you. He's supposed to be there
for questioning, so tell them you won't
say a word until you see a lawyer. Like
most Gls you probably can't afford a
lawyer. It doesn't matter how, but get
a lawyer!
8. Never make any statements to
the swines or sign anything but bail,
when and only when it's posted. Let
a lawyer rap bail for you. He can get
it lowered. If you're not AWOL or
wanted by the military, bail can be
arranged pretty easily in most cases,
unless it's a "capital case" (death
penalty).
Don't rap with other prisoners about
confidential shit -- anything concerning
your case is confidential. A favorite
trick of the man is to have other pigs
or informers in detention cells.
9. They have 48 hours to bririg you
to arraignment but that doesn't always
hold true. They've got a lot of ways
to hold you.
In San Francisco there's a thing
called the SF Bail Project in room 304
at the Hall of Justice. Remember this
phone number. Write it down. This
is the only number you can't get through
the switchboard: 522-2202. If you call
them when you're busted, they'll try to
et you out on your own recognizance
10.R.). In other words, no bail.
A lot was said in this article, but
remember they don't get called Pigs
for being nice guys. They often forget
about your rights, they'll do whatever
you let them get away with. If they
don't tell you your rights let if slide --
don't ever inform them of their slip up--
tell your lawyer. That's what makes
the whole bust illegal. Here in Babylon
(Amerika) the Pig is in power, power
comes from the barrel of a gun. For
right now we'll have to play their game
with their rules, so stay clean and good
luck.

science - moral, political, & religious.

wars.

SICAL CRUELTY IN MILITARY BRIGS

Believing that ending the suppression of the American serviceman is an important part
of a larger struggle for basic human rights, the Movement for a Democratic Military
pledges support for the self-determination of all peoples. We are dedicated to using
every means at our disposal to bring about a prompt end to the war in Vietnam, the
exploitation of our brothers and sisters abroad, and the respression, both physical and
economic, of those in our own'land. We feel that by remaining silent, the serviceman
has contributed to the denial of this deep-founded right of himself and of people every -
where to live free from intimidation and oppression. WE HAVE BEEN SILENT FORA
LONG TIME. WE WILL BE SILENT NO LONGER.
military men having one vote each. We
demand a trial by jury and court of oneT
peers by rank. eliminate all physical cus-
tody before trials. Place the judicial
system outside the chain of command.
6. WE DEMAND WAGES EQUAL TO THE
FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGES.
7. WE DEMAND THE ABOLITION OF
THE CLASS STRUCTURE IN THE
MILITARY,
End saluting and sirring and special officer
privileges and segregation. End all rank
privileges. We demand the right for an
enlisted men's elected review board of of-
ficer conduct.
8. END ALL RACISM EVERYWHERE
Officers and senior enlisted men breed
racism within the service by exploiting and
indirectly pitting service men and-women
of different races against one another.
Bring these offenders to trial by the system
described above.
9. FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS.
In return for captured American troops in
Indochina, we support amnesty for Eldridge
Cleaver, Huey Newton, Bobby Seale,
Erika Huggins, the Conspiracy, and our
brother war resisters at home and abroad.
10. STOP THE GLORIFICATION OF WAR
NOW PREVALENT IN ALL BRANCHES
OF THE MILITARY.
ll. ABOLISH THE DRAFT AND ALL
INVOLUNTARY ENLISTMENT.
12. GET OUT OF INDOCHINA NOW.
The United States military is being used all
over the world to maintain the US empire
which controls the lives of people in other
countries. When those people demand that
we get out, and fight to get us out, we are
forced to initiate a full scale attack on
them in their homes with the most advanced
weapons the military-indisutrial -educational
complex can produce. We will no longer
be puppets tricked into fighting against a
Peoples War'. We will fight instead to
force these genocidal rulers and the Brass
to get out of Indochina Now.
We've taken ads this issue because we needed the money, and because
it's a quick way of finding out who are friends are. Not every place
in town is out to rip off GI's for their paychecks. Many places are run
by vets who quit the military and settled in San Francisco to open up
either a coffee house or a small store. Others are run by people sym-
pathetic to the GI movement. Those people who supported us with ads
definitely deserve our support as customers. Patronize our friends.
