Jane Fonda returns to FayettenamFriday Nov. 6th at Haymarket Square CoffeehouseThe WarIn IndochinaBRAGG BRIEFS is published in the spirit of the Declaration of Independenceand the United States Constitution.duty GI's stationed at Fort Bragr,It is a free press, published by activeNorth Carolina and dedicated to eatabli-shing responsible aiternatives to the present military and economic systems.The United Way?_ The United Fund has been with usfor a long time , and probably willbe with us a long time after thisarticle is forgotten. The questionthat comes to mind is how the Unitedfund is in any way related to G.I.sor thier cause,. To simplify things, General Tolsonfeels that there's a relation. On@ locally broadcast radio station heurged all Army personel to supportthe United Fund "based on the prin-cipal of voluntary giving" but evenmore specifically support for thelocal organizations to which mostof the U.F. funds are allocated inorder to "improve the enviorment ofthe military and civilian communityin which we live,"But let's ask the question; howmuch does this improve the so called"oenviorment of the military commun-ity." Granted the town of Fayett-ville has a great deal to gain andrightfully so, for why shouldn'ttheir United Fund drive be as suc-cessful as that of Raleigh, or Char-lotte, or even New York City, andBoston? Especially when they have380,000 troops to give their fare share,However, the real question athand is not knocking these organi-zations, for they all have merit,but essentially appealing to thepeople behind them, the citizens ofFayettville themselves.For example, the citizen who ownsthe pawnshop and is charging 15%interest per month (which comes out to180% ver year); or the citizen whoowns the used car lot, but as soonas you remove it from his sight hedoesn't want to know you anymore;the citizen who owns the jewelrystore and is willing to offer you"a no money down, sign on the dottedline, pay thru the nosé for the restof-your life contract,"These are only 4 few of the tech-niques that are developed to im-prove your enviorment, Esséntiallyyou have created an atmosphére whereeven the would be creditable buii-ness man feels the (economic) press-ure to jump onto the bandwagon. Thisatmosphere is truly an unhealthy one,but unfortunatly one with which theArmy seems willing to co-exist.All right, this appeal to thecivilian community is all well andgood, but with my experience in lifeI've become a mild pessimist, espec-lally when it comes to financial mat-ters. So let's assume that the goodcitizens of Fayetteville have deafears (probably clogged up with dollarbills).or(cont. on page 6)|ONFREe ~TO §CHICAGO CONSPIRATOR, RENNIE DAVIS,RETURNS TO FAYETTEVILLEPeacelnitiativeby thePeopleRennie Davis, of the Chicago Cons«:piracy and local May 16th Day "noter-lety", came back to Fayetteville onFriday, October 16 to speak to a stan-ding room only crowd at HaymarketSquare coffeehouse,The main topic of the evening was ®the United States governments! lackof effort in ending the war, and thealternative idea of the people ofthis country, themselves, taking theinitiative of negotiating a peacetreaty with the people of Vietnan.National coordination is now beingset up to start the organizing andpublicity for a direct American-Vietnamese compact to end the war andset a June 30, 1971 deadline fortroop withdrawel,The work on setting up the negote:lation teams and the negotiations them-selves is now starting to take placewith the idea of giving the Nixon ad-ministration, Congress, the Courts,or whatever part of the governmentstructure that wants to take up thetreaty, until May 1, 1971 to impli-ment it.If the Nixon administration does-n't take action on the Peoples treatyby then, Rennie said, it will be up tothe people of this country to impli-ment it themselves, There is a maj-ority of. people in this country thatdisagree with the war and they mustphysically begin to "pull out" ifthe Nixon administration refuses to.If, by May ist, Nixon and the Cong-ress don't agree to pull out by theJune 30th deadline, there will beinternational reactions,If the government doesn't stopthe war, then the people will stopthe government.

GITs SPEAK OUTBROTHERS,One day during the month ofAug. Pv-2 Courson (5th Evac Hosp)was driving a jeep, while pullinghis duties as staff duty driver.It was approximately 1830 Hrs(6:30) in the evening and privateCourson was stopped at a stop lightwhen an unknown individual startedyelling at him to put on his hat.He really didn't see any sence inputting it on, because he was undercover while driving the vehicle.He then proceeded with the greenlight and was told to pull over bythis extremly hostile character-still unknown by his rank..SoCourson proceeded to pull off theroad...e..then he was ordered out ofthe jeep and told to stand atattention and salute, (in the middleof the road)Courson did what he was toldto do, but thought that thischaracter was really so far outthat the whole incident was reallyFunNYeceecesThe Lt Col told Courson thathe had a oAss poor attitude�, sinceCourgon was a Pv-2 with 26 monthsin the Green Machine, and Coursonagreed with him...this made the LtCol almost blow up-what a temper-so he called Coursons unit andrecommended an Art 15-whichCourson laughed at again, andrefused it; requesting a SpecialCourt Marshall.Well, nothing was heard of it.The Lt Col waited about ten day'slater when Courson was put onalevy for Europe-he was told by avery reliable source (no names) thatthe Lt Col tried to send Coursonto Vietnam, but too bad, becausehe's a Vietnam Vet.So now the brass has onceagain solved another problem byan oversea's transfer and I onlyhave 9 months until my E.T.S.Thank you Lt Col Hathaway forthe transfer I always wanted to seeEurope.Sincerely,Richard D. CoursonSeenBrothers,I'm just another face, of the manythat are in this man's Army. I amagainst the war in Indochina, whichautomatically puts my name on thelist for harrassment and details. Oneparticuarly annoying detail is Bat-talion Police. I am a parachute rig-ger, which is a critical MOS. Socritical in fact that we're not sup-posed to wear our red hats on this de-tail, so that Generals, and Colonelsdon't recognize us as riggers.The man who decided that there hadto be a battalion Police had to havesome kind of animalistic tendencies,Who else would work men all morninglong and afternoon in the hot NY¥rth"Carolina sun without a break, whilethe people in charge of the detail sitaround in an office and drink coffeeall day long? What's even better(for them) is that if they have to goto the bathroom they can go for aslong as they want and not even haveto stand behind a tree or anything.There really aren't that many treeswe can stand behind because we policein the lirers Deck yards, and theirwives always look out the back windowsand laugh at the men tramping tnroughtheir weeds and garbage.(cont on page 8)HOW COMETHERES NOBLACKS iNTHIS HONKIEOUTFIT 2!WG #8 f-{UNDERSTAFFED, |50 THEY ASSIGNED Le 2US A RETURNING yo,wy ManPsCOMBAT-OFFICER GeeON TEMPORARY ey eh |DEAR SIRS,I have just Coupleted reading thelatest issue of Bragg Briefs datedOct. 1970.

ILLEGALWARLOBBY"The Association of the UnitedStates Army welcomes any Americanwho is interested in the Army andnational security, and who sub-scribes to the aims of the As- 'sociation." So goes the officialrecruiting line of the AUSA, anorganization only vaguely under-stood by most GI's. Just what"the aims of the Association"actually are and what the AUSAactually stands for are not inm-mediately evident but can be quiteimportant should you be asked orcoerced to join the AUSA in any fu-ture membership drive at Fort Bragg.AUSA came into being in 1950with the merger of the UnitedStates Infantry Association andthe United States Field Artil-lery Association. It was soonrestructured in 1956 to elimin-ate conflicts of interest by mili-tary officers by removing activeduty military personnel from thegoverning board and key offices.This change increased the effecti-veness of the organization and ledto an increase in the membershipto 100,000, most of which wereeither in the Army or in defense-~related industries. AUSA alsoestablished offices in washingtonfrom which it could base and con-duct its programs. Since thattime, the AUSA has worked to in-fluence defense policy to pro-vide for an Army that could meetsmali-scaie agression anywhere inthe worid and give flexibilityto the strategic nuclear response,AUSA currently uses the $6vuU,0004t coliects in dues from its men-bers and untola amounts it collectsfrom detense industry membershipand ads in its magazine to support@ number of programs.

The workers are paidan average wage of $1.93 an hour, onequarter of the workers make only theminimm wage.Since the work is of a seasonalnature, with a peak period of employ-ment just prior to the Christmas rush,many workers are laid off with noregards to seniority. The best way tokeep working is to brown-nose thebosses and to keep quite about con-ditions. Anyone questioning the worke:ing conditions will end up on the out-side in short order.The factory management does notrecognize the union as the auth-orized spokesman for the workers,and calls the strike illegal---this allows the factory to usescabs (outside workers) and alsoto harass the strikers,Since the factory is the dom-inate economic factor in Washing-~ton, it is able to use local pigC5A, "full support of our coun-try's objectives in SoutheastAsia," endorsement of oworldwidedeployment of U.S. Army forces,"support for the "development ofan ABM system," and support for"efforts to make disrespect forthe Flag a federal offense."The Braxton Bragg Chapter ofAUSA, headed by Joe Barr,has as its chief activity the an-nual membership drive at FortBragg.The drive is actually carriedout by scores of appointed projectofficers and employs the same or-ganization and tactics as otherdrives except that it focusesmainly on officers and NCO's,Last year's drive produced 3,632new members and $27,756 and main-tained the Braxton Bragg Chapter'sstature as one of the largest inthe world.The legality of such a drive fora political lobbyist organizationGI's United Aga-one anitforces to arrest workers on chicken-shit charges, and to keep the pick-eters from interfering with the op-erations of the factory.Twenty-six workers have beenarrested so far, including one wo-man who struck the driver of a carwho slammed into the picket line,injuring a women severly.Members of GI's United of FortBragg decided to show solidarity withthe workers, and went by motorCaravan to help with the picket-ing. Within minutes there were threestate patrol cars, two city andcounty pig cars, and the local dogcatcher on the scene.The pigs stopped the GIs at thestrike and asked to see registra-tions, ID cards and passes, Fortu-natly, all the GIs had come preparedfor such harassement, and had theirshit in order.Of course the local press didnot cover any of the action becauseit's all controlled by Hamilton.The strikers have recieved, andare continuing to recieve aid fromstudent groups and womensT organ-izations, They can still use help.For more information contact:Comminications Workers of AmericaLocal 3678Washington, N.C.Power to the Workers! !which employs federally-employedofficers on duty and in uniform tocarry it out, as well as the otheractivities--advertisement on post,use of the Fort Bragg Public In-formation Office for publicity,voluminous publicity in the semi-official Paraglide, and the offer-ing of adniniettats¢ leave toattend the annual convention as anincentive for membership-has notas yet been formally questioned.The Hatch Act, passed by Con-gress years ago to eliminate poli-tical activity and corruption amongfederal employees places strictlimitations upon such activitiesand opens a question of illegality.@ust what provisions or standardsof fairness allow the AUSA to main-tain offices, conduct membershipdrives, and distribute and displayprinted material on Fort Bragg whileGI's United and other groups aredenied that right is also a yet anunanswered question.

Withdraw Now ~The weakest link in the chain ofAmerican Imperialism was Vietnam--now Indochina. It should be clearSince the extension of militaryaction into Cambodia and Laos, thatthe present Nixon administrationintends to hang on in Southeast Asiaas long as it is able, vainly hop-ing for a military victory.Washington will not get out of,Indochina one day sooner than theIndochinese revolution coupled witha broad American anti-war move-ment compel it to.President Nixon's October 7thproposal in no way signals,a shiftin the United States military orpolitical objectives in SoutheastAsia, but arrogantly asserts the"right" to militarily occupy anddictate the terms of government tbothe nations and people of Indochina.If Nixon's administration reallyWants peace, as it seems by thewithdrawal program currently inprogress, why doesn't it dump Thieu,Ky and Khiem now instead of nextyear or year after?Washington realizes, just asSaigon knew long before the Viet-namization program began, that thepresent Thieu-Ky group could notstand total U.S. withdrawal, yetNixon maintains in public that heis pulling out support while infact preserving the puppets.Why not make a firm declarationthat the United States is gettingout and negotiations for a per-manent peace begun? What is Nixonholding onto? It can only be the4llusory hope of a military tri-umph.The search for peace demands notonly military de-escalation, butalso political de-escalation inthe sense that those caught inbetween the two extremes must beginto share the power.Disassociation of the UnitedStates position at Paris from theposition of the Saigon government,the U.S. negotiating only for itsown withdrawal, can be the onlyway to achieve a reasonalbe and justpeace for the people of Indochinato establish self-determination.That the United States can jus-tify 1ts military intervention inVietnam on the basis that it mustdefend the principle of self-de-termination for the people of South~Vietnam is beyond comprehension.The establishment of peace inIndochina only requires conditionsin which the people can determinetheir own future for themselves.It has been for this free choicethat the National Front for Lib-eration has fought for ten years andnot to impose a political monopolyon the people.Mme. Nyugen Thi Binh, represent-ing the Provisional RevolutionaryGovernment, initiated a proposalon September 17th to the Nixonadministration that provides acognasant peaceful settlement:If Nixon truely intends to getout of Vietnam as he states in hisplan for a generation of peace, allhe has to do is set a date for thewithdrawal of troops and theshooting could stop.There is no need for oimmediatenegotiations for cease-fire in placethroughout Indochina to be interna-tionally supervised" as he stated inthe most recent plan or "an in-ternational body acceptable to. bothSides to supervise Ceasc-fires, "plus cessation of combat after ayear of troop withdrawals" as hestated in 1969, only an agreement inprinciple to the withdrawal and thefighting could stop and negotia-tions for a permanent peace begun.~Never do anything against conscienceeven if the State demands it.TAlbert Einstein, physicistBragg Briefs is published by GI'sUnited Against the War in Indo-China, P.O.

Berore the birth ofZionism in tne late 19tn century, Jew-ish-Arabs, Moslem-arabs, and ChristianArabs lived together in peace as theyhave for centuries.A recent statement by the SecondWorld Conference on Palestine, spon-sored by a coalition of Palestinianliberation groups, states: " thePalestinian revolution is determinedto to fight for the creation of a newdemocratic and non-sectarian Palestineas the long term, ultimate goal ofliberation.Annihilation of the Jews orof the Palestinian exiles and thecreation or an exclusive racist orIn recent weeks auch ars been saliabout the obirbaric, inhunane" hizh-jackin -:s pulled off by the PopularFront for the Libz:ration of Palestine.The media has made much of the dé-struction of three planes by theguerillas, while almost completelyignoring the causes leading to theevent.The highjackings were organizedmainly to focus worli attention on theplight of hundreds of thousanis ofPalestinian refugees living in Jordan.That the guerillas are not as inehumane as the press reports would haveyou believe, is confirmed by the hos-tages themselves.The first officer ofthe TWA jet said oWe've been told notto talk politics, but I guess I cansay they did everything they could forus.Some of the guerillas died for us.".The Palestinians are livinz interribly poor refugee camps, where theywere forced by the Zionists after Israelwas created in 1948.Zionism is a political ideologywhich holds basic the theory that anti-theocratic state in Palestine, be itJewish, Ohristian, or Moslem, is to-tally umacceptable, unworkable, andcannot last. The oppressed Palestinianmasses will fight and make all neededsacrifices to demolish the oppressiveexclusive state.". .This simply means that the gueril-las want a free, tolerant Palestinewhere Jews, Moslems, and Christianscan live together as brothers, not asenemies. Is there any inhumanity inthat idea?(Continued on pg. 10)Semitism among non Jews is universaland ineradicable.It calls for a separateJewish state to escape persecution.Prior to 7% II and Hitler's massacreof 6,000,000 Jews, Zionism was a minorforce among world Jeury.After the war,American and Jewish public opinionwere decidedly favorable to the ideaof an all Jewish state.In 1947 the United Nations passed aresolution calling for the partition ofPalestine and the creation of Israel.The U.

THEY DONTT SELL DOPE TO PEOPLE, THEY SELL PEOPLE TO DOPE!!!Up to 1949 the most importantsymbol in the ghetto was the knife,from then on it became the needle.In 1956 the first wave of smack(heroin) hit the young black peopleof Harlem, an attack on the pooryouth of the ghetto that served to"pacify" the oppressed people of thecity. In New York over the last tenyears smack has been used to break upgangs of poor whites, blacks, andPuerto Ricans.In all the heavy communities ofAmerica people have noticed a markedincrease of smack use and all thatfollows from an influx of hard drugs-rip-offs, burns, murders, uptightness.We've got to try to understand whythere has been more and more smack usein our communities and in the communi-ties of our brothers and sisters.Smack is big business. The smackdealers on the street get thelr smackfrom the Mafia or the Syndicate andmost of the dealers are strung outthemselves, dealing to support theirown habits. William Burroughs calledsmack the perfect capitalisticcommodity because you do not sell it- to the people, you sell the peopleto it (smack), and once they'rehooked all you've got to do is supplythe dope.Our brothers and sisters are get-ting fucked up behind smack. Smackdoes not come from our lives, fromour communities. It comes from theMafia businessmen who control thelargest "corporation" in America.RENNIE DAVIS| ATHAYMARKET SQUARE(cont.from page 1)plan, and the growing dissent againstthe war among popular leaders in theSaigon government.Rennie brought out the Vietnameseproposals, that when Nixon agrees,even in prinicipal, to a withdrawal .date, that all U.S. prisoners of warwill be released, and a cease firewill begin. The PRG has stated that_the present Saigon government struc- |.ture and ARVN forces can remain intactand coalesce with ail major forces andpersonalities to form a provisionalgovernment. This government will holdthe long promised free elections thatthe U.S. government has continuallythwarted,On the other hand, Nixons proposalspeaks of negotiations for a cease-fire, but says nothing about re-moving U.S. troops at any time. Thisis the main reason the people of Viet-nam, Laos, and Cambodia have said noto it---there is no sign of any breakin U.S. control.Davis showed how the "backward"nation of Vietnam has stood up againstall the tremendous U.S. firepower thathas been leveled at it for the last 10years. Vietnam shows that ordinarypeople can win against the, "machine*,The question is, how are we going toend imperialism? End racism? Endsexism? End a system based on pri-vate greed?

They workwell together in their destructionand oppression of people.One of the reasons I think thatwe see so much smack is that smackslavery is an attack on our people bythe power structure of this country.Drugs like LSD, pot, mescaline, canhelp people have experiences that areabout learning to live in new ways.The youth culture in this country 1slinked to these life-giving experiences.WE ARE NOT ABOUT SMACK OR SPEED OR THESYSTEM OF LIFE IN THIS COUNTRY THAT ISOPPOSED TO OUR SEARCH FOR LIFE. Nixonhas called for newer and stiffer druglaws against psychedelics, but the. -spread of destructive drugs goes on,and each day more and more people-theyoungest people who hit the streetfirst-get fucked up behind smack andspeed. If we see ourselves as acommunity of people who are trying tolive a new kind of life together,being done. It's time to get to-gether to end the war, and everyindividual must do his part, mstbegin to take control of his own life.This was Rennie Davis' message.Port Bragg GI's can play an integralpart in the action, but its up to ua,it's our lives. 3the problems that face us. Onething that we know about Americais it's isolation. Many of us aretrying to be hip im response tothe isolated futures that thiscountry has laid out for us.
