Priest: Trial Over
Roger Acquitted on 6;
Found Guilty on 2 Charges
On April 23rd, after six hours
and forty-seven minutes of delib-
eration, a general courts-martial
board of five officers found Sea-
mon Roger Priest guilty on two
specifications of violations of
Article 134, saying that the May
and June issues of Priest*Ts pub-
lication OM, in their entirity,
promoted disloyalty and dissaf-
fection among troops. A member
of the board, a medical service
corps Commander, had tears in his
eyes as the verdict was read,
' Maximum sentence for the two
violations is six years and a
dishonorable discharge, a bit
less than the thirty-nine years
Priest faced for the original
eight charges (he was acquitted
on six of the charges),
Defense attorneys plan to ap-
peal the case to the Military
Court of Appeals and eventually
to the federal courts if that
proves necessary. A petition
will be filed asking Rear Ad-
miral George P Kock to defer the
sentence pending the appeal. This
procedure is the military equiv-
alent of bail incorporated in the
UCMJ by the Military Justice Act
of 1968. It is expected that Kock
will deny the petition, making it
necessary to refile the petition
to Secretary of the Navy William
Chafee along with congressional
investigations into the whole
matter.

have been the main victims of the

M-16 RALLY
SCHEDULED
On Saturday May l6th, GI's UNI-
TED is sponsoring a counter-Armed
Forces Day rally in Fayetteville.
It calls for the support of every
concerned GI and features speech~
es by Rennie Davis, Jane Fonda,
and Mark Lane.
No longer should young men sit
by and through silence, aimlessly
and unconsciously give support to
the Nixon administration's war ef-
fort in Indochina. By remaining
aloof, despite strong feelings a-
gainst the war, you only add fuel
to the military machine. By being
a strac obedient soldier you have
formed for Nixon not a great dis-
Sident, but a silent olive-draba
bed majority, a mindless body of
men that can be mobilized and cap-
riciously sent anywhere on the
globee
Showing up May 16th at Rowan
Street Park is one small way you
can tell Mr Nixon how you feel.
It*s all legal. Truthfully, one
has a duty, call it a moral ob-
ligation, to speak out against
the US military escapades. Speak
out against the very machine that
has ripped you away from your own
life to perpetrate international
crimes.
This machine must be stopped.
sure, you sit in the barracks at
night and ridicule the lifers,
count your remaining days, and
express disfavor with our invol-
vemente Too many Americans feel
their only political obligation
is to pull a lever in November.
By remaining so passive, we have
allowed the existence of an un-
concerned, money grabbing, look-
good-for-reelection governmental
structure e
For once forget your spoiled
American easy life, plat a roleT
in the fate of your country. We
are not asking you to resort to
violence or any illegal infringe-
ments of the government, we are
asking simply that you take an
active role protesting against
an incorrigible military govern-
mente Come out and hear Rennie
Davisy Jane Fonda, Mark Lane and
others. Live music is also plann-
ed.
Jane Fonda known more for her
movie roles (currently playing a
moribund, bitter loser in "They
Shoot Horses") has been touring
the US speaking for GI and Indian
rights .
Rennie Davis, perhaps now re-
covered from the Chicago 8 Con-
spiracy trial and all the insan+«
ities that seemed to have gone
along with it, will rap on lib-
erty and justice and other things
lacking in American culture.

Letters to the Editor
Dear Sirs
I have just finished reading
the March and April editions of
BRAGG BRIEFS. These were the first
I have ever seen. They were GREAT.
I was deeply touched by the artic-
les on ROGER PRIEST who is being
court-martialed in Washington, D.C.,
by the U. S. Navy. Being recently
discharged, I have a good idea how
the modern military machine works
and I feel sorry for PRIEST.
I have written Senator Sam J.
Ervin, Jr., a champion in human
rights and civil liberties, and
asked him to look into the court-
martial proceedings to see if there
was anything he could do to help
PRIEST. When I hear from Senator
Ervin, I shall let you know immed-
jately. I enjoyed your newspaper
and enclosed is a five dollar don-
ation. Please put me on your mail-
ing list.

is great, really great; there
needs to be a movement of soldiers
against the war. I'm a 17 1/2 year

supports the peace movement here.
I just wanted to write you to let
you know that I support what you
are doing, and wish you good luck
in the future and hope you will

oppression and repression in the

Frem a campaign speech made in 1931 in Hamburg, Germany, by Adelf Hi! er.
Rally For a Quiet Conscience
Whatever happened to the good
old peace rally? And if there is
not such a thing, why call it
such? Why call a peace rally when
the violence of our "youth cul-
ture" is presented along with the
plea for peace? Displays of vio-
lence like the SDS and Black Pan-
ther organizations exhibit will
only inhibit the peace movement.
We can not gain support by pro-
ducing violence as a means of at-
taining peacee This has been said
hefore, hut the Chapel Hill-UNC
Anti-War Rally brought it home.
Disorder breeds disorder, and
the present state of our country
is just that. What the SDS and
Black Panthers do not realize is
that we have to break this syn-
drome, not perpétuate it. True,
there is cause, especially for
the Black Panther, but obtaining
our goals through violence will
gain nothing. This is a personal
view, the writer being a con=-
scientious objector, and any en-
lightenment the subjects of this
last minute's writing wish to
portray would be more than wel-
Come e
The rally went well, however.
The crowd, although a melange of
anti-war demonstrators, oppor-
tunists, and inquisitive sight-
seers, seemed most attentive to
the variety of speakers, and es-~
pecially to the music. 'Gele's
United* was well represented of-=
fering assistance and interesting
~rapsT to many sympathetic civil-
ians, who still remain in the
worlde
The rally was a leader for the
May 16th Demonstration. If expec-
tations are fulfilled, it should
be an excellent symbol to America
of the GI's feelings about the
ware Let's put the emphasis on
Peace! -Wert
BRASS STRIKE
The call goes out from the high fvyen here at Bragg there are
command - we've got to stop infla-
tion. Of course, Nixon goes off
course and begins cutting money
from education, welfare, and other
social services. These can wait,
the SST and space program can't,
But inspite of all this trimming
of the ~fat*, even he realizes
that the military budget is too
high. Will wonders never cease!
Sec. Laird is really an expert
at cost cutting. The Army doesn't
need beef stew = costs too much,
POL requirements are reduced, none
essential units are eliminated
(like a few medical detachments)
and the GI is told its up to him
to save on the use of electricity
and water (he wastes quite a bit
by trying to see in the dark and
taking showers). All this can
really save some coin no doubt.
Anybody can tell that only the
essentials are left, the things
that must be saved at all costs.
There's the ABM and the C-5A.
Special projects that can't be
trimmed,
One of these is Brass Strike
(the name is catchy isn't it).
Twice a year the Army blows a few
million to impress a couple of
general's and government offi-
Ccials. They are given the grand
Opportunity to see what we could
do to any enemy, if given the
chance. The show is never called
off and its no problem getting
the money for this pretty spec-
tacle. Too bad these general's
and officials can*t go to Viet-
nam for a few days. Bet they'd
see the same thing and save the
Government some money. Could it
be that over there the enemy
shoots back (definitely safer to
attack a vacant hill).
Damn it Laird, if you really
want to trim the budget strike
out Brass Strike.
Gee but its sooo impressive.

not in the interest of the people.

Beat the Brass
Several months ago Bragg
Briefs ran an article suggest-
ing that it costs the Army 5,000
dollars to conduct a Special
court martial. If soldiers turned
down all Article 15's and the
Summary court-martial that will
be offered, then JAG would prob-
ably not bring it to trial be-
cause of the expense.
One of the editors of Bragg
Briefs, S/p 4 William Carothers,
thought he should give this a try
Since we had printed it in our
paper. His chance came when he
was given a DR for hitchhiking on
highway 87. His C.0. offered Bill
an Article 15, which he turned
downe It then went to a summary
court-martial, which is a kangaroo
court judged by an officer with
no legal training and no jury.
Bill turned down this court-
martial which is his right under
the new UCMJ. This left the Army
in quite a fix. They wanted to
get Bill because he is in GI's
United, but a Special court-
martial for hitchhiking? Wow the
Army would really look silly.
Three weeks later Bill was read
the charges for a special court-
martial. He contacted a JAG
lawyer, but the Army never fol-
lowed through with the trial.
You can beat the system If
everyone refused Article 15's the
Army judical system would be so
screwed up they would have to
change it. The only reason Article
15's were instituted was the sys-
tem was so clogged up they had to
streamline it. But the way they
streamlined it was to give almost
total power to the commanding of-
ficer with out any controls. What
they should have done was insti-
tute a seprate court system for
misdemeanor offences where a sol-
dier could be tried for petty
things like hitchhiking or miss-
ing reveille. This system could
have its own military judges and
a limit on punishment like the
Article 15's. This would be a lot
closer to the civil courts in
this free country of ours. The
military will change the system
when we clog it up again. The
system will not change from above
because they donTt care about us.
Write your Congressman and see
how he reacts to this suggestion.
"I laid myself open to a maxi-
mum sentence of six months for a
petty charge, with a federal con-
viction for a petty thinge The
only way we can change the system
is to screw it up so badly that
it cannot function."

Anti"War Fest
Held at UNC ®
Two sunny afternoon and a com-
nF aes PCELL, iVlewe
KINSTON, N. C.
fortable evening gave the impeti.s,�
to a successful rally at Chapel {|
Hill. The weather brought out a
collection of sun seekers, polit
cal and reliious (there were a
few) activists, Women's Libter's
Gel.*s United (of course) etc.
Although the turn-out was not
what had been expected, the en-
thusiausm and congeniality of
those present and those hosting fy
made the weekend worthwhile.
Saturday afternoon started
off with bands playing and peo-
ple meeting. Mostly it was a time.
for signing petitions, answering
questionnires, and collecting all 3
the various leaflets that you
were interested in.
Saturday evening stsrted at se
ven and it was good. If there is
nothing else that can unite a
crowd, it is Tom Paxton and Phil
Ochse
Paxton came on strong with
songs which satyrized the war,
and one in particular which poked
at the establishment's ultiment
funeral-Forest Lawn. Paxton has a
way of getting into your mind.
Phil Ochs ended the evening
with a lilt. He did his own tunes
intiallly, then went into mimics
of early-era rock artists; Bill
Haley and the Comets, Buddy Hol-
ley, and of course Elvil. He
brought the crowd really together
by ending the everring with the
full range of Elvis, from oHound-
Dog" to oAre you lonely tonight?"
He came back for two encores for
his performance and we let him
know we liked ite
A mime troupe did skits on the
war and American ideas of vio-
lence, and Arthur Waskow outlined

The same number turned out
Sunday as Saturday to see Gen.
Hester, SeDeS.e, and Black Pan-
ther spokesman, and our own Al
Singer. Al spoke on the atroci-
ties of the war (what else) and
gave a invition to all to come to
our May 16 rally.
tn all, the weekend supplied
as G.I.'s with a healthful breath
of freedom, especially this writ-
er who had only just graduated
from Basic Training. The people
were, on the most par
with every one aoahe tp. toeether,
thing, but all having the same
belief that something has to be
done now about the American
plight. Peaceee.
Fulbright Raps Military Intervention
The Administration is trying
to strike a olow posture� in the
rest of Southeast Asia while pre-
serving an American base in Viet-
nam, and the Communists are not
allowing them to do ite They can
not drive us out of Indochina, but
they can force upon us the choice
of either plunging in altogether
or getting out altogether. It is
this choice that the Nixon Admin-
istration has thus far refused to
make. With one foot in the swamp
and the other foot out, they are
trapped.
In Vietnam they are prodding |
along with pacification and Viet-
namizations; in Loas they are re-
duced to hoping that the Commu--
nists will not chose to conquer t
the countrys; in Cambodia they are
no doubt torn: glad in a way for
the anti-Communist takeover but
fearful that their new found
frounds will ask for help that
they hardly dare gant and hardly
dare refuse. "Myth" is a mild
word for madness on so grand a
scale. Not only has the ration-
aly for Vietnam proved unfounded;
it has shown itself to be disastr-
ously mistaken. Instead of de-
terring Communist intervention in
Southeast Asia, American military
involvement has turned out to be
a powerful magnet for ite

LetTs Hear the Truth
On February 17th, Senator Sam
J. Ervin filed an objection to the
Army's refusal to allow civilian
distribution of leaflets dealing
with several senators views on the
war in Vietnam, saying that it was
both a violation of the civilianTs
constitutional rights and a odang-
erous infringment of the role of a
senator as a representative of the
people."

Highlight of the trial was the
testimony of Winifred Cockfield,
wife of David W Cockfield, Com-

"Real discipline comes from the

The Higher The Body Count
LONG BINH, Vietnam (UPI)--Two
young American infantry officers

were under pressure from their

many communist soldiers as possi-

called the officers to the stand

Rivers Says Bomb For Peace
Representative L. Mendel Rivers,
chairman of the House Armed
Services Committee has come up
with a brilliant new plan to get
information on American POW's
from the North Vietnamese. Stated
simply it is this: Bomb the hell
out of one of their cities (if
any are left standing!). Said
Rivers, oI would seriously con-
sider letting them see what hap-
pens when they see one of their
cities disappear from the face of
the earth." Why didn't someone
think of this before? Why, we can
hear Hanoi'ts response now, "Well,
oh yes, now that you've killed
300 of our civilians we'd be only
too happy to give you the POW in-
formation you request and we hope
we can continue to work together
with you in the future. Yours
truly, Hanoi." Rivers says he is
losing patience with diplomatic
efforts to get the information
and we don't blame him. Why waste
time on fruitless negotiations
when a little saturation bombing
in the cities and maybe a few na-
palm runs here and there can turn
the trick. Rivers" idea opens up
vast diplomatic possibilities,
Just think of it! Instead of
wasting time talking, disputants
can have it out with bombs. And
for those really big problems we
can always resort to nuclear so-
lutions. Great work Rivers}

Negative Training
Since I have been a puppet
of the ogreen machine,� it has
taught me that the military ser-
vice and moral beliefs and duty
to God, oneself, and to fellow
man are far from being compat-
ible.
There have been a number of
incidents in my military train-
ing which have demonstrated this
to me quite clearly. A lifer at
ITT (Individual Tactical Train-
ing, or indoctrination to the
kill skill) told us, as probably
in so many cases, that our "only
purpose for being in the Army is
to learn to be professional kil-
lers. Regardless, whether we
were to be *spoons,* clerks,
truckdrivers, or technicians,
we needed this training because
the purpose of the Army is to
kill or inflict casualties on
the enemy.�
In another incident other
subservients of the killing
faculty demonstrated how to de-
capitate a man and crush his
head. I was taught how to sneak
up on an individual and break
his necks also to stab him in
the back with a bayonet. "This
will kill him--the slant-eyed
son of a bitchin' gook," the
instructor told us, obut if you
twist it a little bit it will
really screw him up." His very
capable assistant demonstrated
the barbaric tactics also.. Their
attitude appeared to be that of
a joke; mine was one of complete
abhorrence!
This is the type of train-
ing the Army has taught me. It
has attempted to reinforce its
teachings daily, with apparent
reminders like making one shout,
"I want to kill the Viet Cong," as
we run down the company street,
or the posting of a sign on the
company bulletin board: oWar is
our business, and business is
good." How many of you subservi-
ents are able to cite similar
atrocities? |.
These incidents and occur-
rences initiated and served as a
catalyst to my decision to file
for conscientious objector. As I
became slowly indoctrinated, I re-
alized that there is something def-
initely erroneous with this way of
existing--day in and day out con-
stantly being informed of our des-
perate needs to learn how to kill.
This brainwashing linked to my
moral beliefs and conscientious
objection was incompatible,
fore, I made my decision--to no
ionger comply with the social
norms, to permit conscience to
supersede social duty. Many GI's
are facing this problem of con-
science--what to do, whether to
play the game and conceres or do
they submit that morality compels
them to oppose the law unless its
purpose is to advance society,
morally, ethically, and peaceful-
ly? This, they perceive, is not
being done by napalm, nor by heli-
copters machine-gunning innocent
men, women, and children, nor by
crop-destroying chemicals. As a
result of these moral obligations
many GI*s have filed for CO.. But
why don*t these other objectors
pursue their consciences?

For entertainment there was

demonstrators armed with knives
and jungle choppers recently
fought reactionary troops. Demon-
Strations have spread to Kompong,
Trabak, Kep, an important costal
town, and Kompong Cham in the pro-
vince of the! same name - a town
so devastated by demonstrations
that it is described as a "ghost
town� by Hsinhua, the Chinese
News Agency.
Hsinhua reports, "Gunboats dot
the length of the Mekong, and all
the thoroughfares, bridges and
ferries leading to Pnompenh have
been sealed off at the order of
the coup authorities in an at-
tempt to check the advance of
demonstrators toward the capital.
Road blocks on the edge of the
city have been set up and are
policed night and day. US Sherman
tanks guard main government build-
ings and entrances to cities.
Instead of bitterness and pre-
_judice, an alliance has been made
between the Vietnamese in Cambod-~
ia (many of whom are Vietcong)
and the growing United Resistance
Movement among the Cambodians.
Together, these people have taken
control of much of the Vietnamese
and Laotian border regions. And
in response to this, Lon Nol ap-
pears to have adopted the Ameri-
can Vietnam strategy - genocide.
As for Norodom Sihanouk, oust-
ed Cambodian leader, nothing rad-
icalizes a liberal like a US

has called for the overthrow of
Lon Nol, and has reconsidered
some of his anti-communist polic-

M*A*S*H:
A Portrait of War as Hell
Why did the Armed forces fret
over the showing of M*A*S*H. Per-
haps, because truth is brought
oute The simple fact that man can
not cope with blatant absurdity of
war and regimentation.
M*A*S*H is a brilliant movie
creation depicting the horror of
war, the incomprehensible irra-
tionality of the military and the
responses of the individual en-
trapped by the inexorable fail-
ings of society. The movie eli-
cits contradicting themes of sick-
ness and humor, a vivid blend of
the realities of man and war.
The setting of IM*A*S*H ~is the
Korean theater.e The stars are
drafted doctors. Never is there
s shot of an actual battlefield,
for it is an introspective glimp-
se of the war through the eyes of
the drafted doctors who have es-
caped, repressing thoughts of
their involvement in the ugly war.
Blood gushing profusly from a
wounded kid is the real war not
the glory of John Wayne.
Elliot Gould and Donald
Sutherland are featured as the
drafted doctors, manifesting an
attitude that fails to grasp the
reason of war. They escape through
med-cap adventures, and dream-of
a return to home and sanity.
The story is presented in a
staccoto pace. The emotionless
transitions from scene to scene
effectively portrays the hum-drum
tedium of days in the military.
Officers are shown as real
people, subject to human failings
like adultery. M*A*S*H smashes
the Machiavellian image charater-
istic of officers in the Army
hierarchy :
Yes, it presents a true pic-
ture of military service and the
vulgarities of war. Through the
use of gushing blood, force,
shananigans, obsessions the movie
portrays truth. The film was war
and the military in the eyes of
the trapped individual. A lot of
us identify with M*A*S*H, this is
what the brass feared. It is not
M*A*S*H, but the Armies of the
world that should be carefully
scrutinized.
As a GI M*A*S*H is a must.
You'll want to laugh, but you'll
come out with feelings of depres-

Simply a mistake in not seeing

Worrying that the Cambodian
Army does not have enough small
arms seems to be unfounded. Re-
cently, quantities of M-16 rifles
have found their way into the
hands of the Cambodian soldiers.
Maybe we should find out how they
are a it, since many American
units still have yet to be armed
with these weapons.
But nothing can make American

Send me your youth, the best of your youth, the courageous,

From city, suburbs and countryside, where life is careless song.
Have him forget his house of dreams with ivy ~round the door,
For I have a task for his eager feet; wallowing deep in goree
Send me your youth, the pick of your youths you may keep the
other kind.
I'll tear the song from his careless lips and the dreams from
his boyish mind.
I*l1l drive him out to fight my war and rend him limb from limb,
And when I'm through you can have him back, or all that is
left of him.
In a heart that's free from brutality, I will sow the seeds
of hate
~til he goes forth with a lust to kill like a crazed inebriate.
I*1l twist his soul with shameful lies as he carries my flag
on high
And repeat to him of a sacred causewhile he stumbles out to die.
You've sent me your youth, the best of your youth, a thousand
times or more,
And I've left their bones in a shallow grave on some beleaguered

I've plundered the earth and laid it waste, with youth as my
helpless tools;
