It serves the GI in many ways.It offers us a place to go and relax; to speak freelywithout fear of harassment. It offers the type ofentertainment that you won't find in Fayette,ville.If it were to be closed down for some reason, theGI movement would suffer a severe setback. Unfor-tunately, it is now in that very predicament due toafew selfish people who feel that Haymarket is alsoa place to deal dope ranging frém grass to heroin.The first two coffeehouses in Fayetteville, TheOther Side and The Apple House, were closed withdope as an excuse. LetTs not give the man (author-ities the Opportunity to close us down again.If you care about Haymarket, you wonTt hold,score or contact in or around the place. If you donTtcare about Haymarket, we donTt want you to bothercoming down.Spread the word. Haymarket belongs to the people,and the people have to police themselves or thepolice will do it for us and close us down.Military TriplesLettuce BuyingFor years the lettuce workers in the valleys of Cal-ifornia have busted their backs long hours pickingjuicy profits for chiseling corporate growers. Thesweat of the workersT labor, rung dry by the racist~freeT enterprise, continually undercut their income.earnings and left the workers with a pocketbook ofdiminishing returns, scratchy wages, and no workersrights.In past years with the grape workers, Cesar Chavezand the United Farm Workers Organizing Committeeused a strike and a national consumer boycott togain recognition for the plight of the grape workers.The Pentagon was up to its usual tactics and threaten-ed to smash the strike. Pentagon buyers went into themarket and tripled their purchase of grapes.The lettuce workers arenTt sweating off profitsnor pulling up lettuce heads nowadays. Existing off ofan average income of $1900 and suffering the builtin kickbacks from a system of greed and competition,the response of the lettuce workers was unanimousand determined-to follow in the spirit of the grapeworkersT struggle-to fight, to strike, and to fanshenfor a contract! The response of Chavez was to call fora lettuce boycott against those growers unsympathe-tic to the workersT demands. The response of thePentagon was to side with the rich lettuce growersand assume the role of arch-scab against the mosthonest union in the country.Last year it was grapes, this year the commidityis lettuce, and the jack of all scabs, the DoD, is at itagain, muscling down on a new set of victims andchanneling their smash tactics through a new villian-cont on page 2

BLACK AND_ PROUDBrothers, sisters, let's do it now! Let us ex-press the pride in ourselves and in one another that isdistinctly ours. We must become more aware of eachother as Black People if we are ever to reach thegoals for which we are desparately fighting. Whetherwe are part of Uncle Sam~s ~slave machine* or not,we must all say it loud and let it be heard throughoutthis racist land.We must face the imposing oppressor and beindependent, regardless of the penalty which is sooften illegally forced upon us.So let~s do it up brothers and sisters and let usshow the lifers, grits, pigs, pimps, hustlers and whoreswhat it really means to be black.

It could happen to you.HereTs what happened.On January 28th PFC Mike Fraser went downtowndrinking. Halfway into the evening the police stoppedhim, frisked him, and found a knife and a piece ofhash. And so Mike was arrested on the dope shargeand a charge of carrying a concealed weapon.The magistrate said he would have to post a $400bond before he could be released. Not many PFCTscan put $400 together and so Mike was stuck in the~drunk tank.TThis room was about 12 feet by 12 feet. Therewas one bench stretching across one end, one com-mode and one water fountain. He was kept in thisroom for four days (How long does it take to so-ber up?). Finally on the fifth day he was put in a cell.Mike tried for four davs to make a call.Finally a bondsman came and offered to bail himout. He notified MikeTs company which did not knowwhere he has and which had him down as AWOL.The bondsmanTs fee - $60.Mike will be tried early in February.Some reflections on justice in Fayetteville and jus-tice in America.With your permission I'll continue to~steal Tmaterialfrom your paper.

dropped on Indochina since 1965. (1% million tonswere dropped on all of Europe during World War II)The month of January saw over 1000 B-52 sorties~over Indochina. The average daily bombing from B-52runs is about 250tons per plane. :B-52~s alone account for some 5 million craters, 30feet deep and 45 feet in diameter.. There has been an average of 27,000-United Statesair Missions a month over Loas---the most intensivebombing suffered by any nation in history.Between two and three million people are beingmoved from the northernmost regions of South Viet-nam to the southern section of the country in, othelargest organized movement of peasants in the historyof Vietnam�.

ItTs a document thathas to be taken up byevery individual concerned abouthis future and the future of his country, and taken toeveryone he knows.

come visit theQUAKER HOUSEsometimeThree days after the huge May 16 CounterArmed Forces Day Rally in Rowan Park lastyear, the old Quaker House on Ray Streetwas gutted by a fire - suspected arson.Just after the fire some anonymous callertold J.C. Honeycutt, who along with Bill Ca-rothers takes care of the new Quaker House,that it was too bad she hadnTt died in it.As J.C. and Bill sat around working a jigsawpuzzle and talking about what they are doingat the Quaker House, J.C. said, oI canTt be-lieve that those people think ITm going toJ.C. Honeycuttplanning trip to Cubaleave because they burn my house down.�After the fire the staff and their friends be-gan to rebuild, but were stopped and threateened with arrest for violating building codesif they tried to make repairs. The building Wascondemned and the staff were homeless for 3months while they tried unsuccessfully to rentanother house. Finally Bill Carothers used hissavings for a down payment for the newhouse.So today the Quaker House is located at223 Hillside (485-3213) - about two blocksup the hill from the Haymarket Square Coffeehouse.The Quaker House is supported by several(Quaker Meetings in North Carolina and everySunday there is a local meeting at 1 p.m. ;Most of the rest of the week the House isopen between 2 and 10 p.m. to GITs and justabout anyone who needs a little help.This place is a favorite for members of GITsUnited to relax.There is a fireplace where old October is-sues of Bragg Briefs are used to kindle the fireon occasion ). ~There is a beautiful but skittish-young Shet-land Sheep dog named GuryneddWhen she was a puppy, a man kept her inacrate all the time, and even today she showsthe scars of that trauma. She is continuously ¥pacing the floor in nervous circles as if she wasstill in her crate.According to J.C., Gurynedd is a feministwho doesnTt like men or male dogs. ~~Some-times,T J.C. concedes, oGuryhedd likes Billexcept when he throws sticks at hier.� -Sparkle, the cat, is much wbre ap proach-able, but the cat has no qualms~about fartingin your face or doing worse things in your lap.Fayetteville is hardship duty for.qny move-ment radical. But a womanTs position ts par-ticularly, difficult (three women have left thecoffeehouse staff already ).J.C. recalls once when one of her friendswas physically molested while passing outBragg Briefs on Hay Street and bitterly com-mented on a GI who kept insulting her as shewalked downtown one day.She says she stays in Fayetteville becauseoItTs important to be where you're needed.�She wants to go to Baltimore sometime ormaybe to Atlanta to work on THE GREATSPECKLED BIRD, an outasight undergroundpaper. But her immediate plans are to go toCuba with the Venceremos Brigade to helpharvest this yearTs sugar cane.J.C. is thinking about getting a job becauseas she observes, oItTs a real disadvantage ifyou're a professional movement person.

= Vs *W weAR 635-20 FOR $ALEIF YOU'RE A GI YOU CAN APPLY IF YOUTRE A WHITE GI AND WEALTHY--YOU CAN WIN!A G.I. can apply for conscientious objector af-ter being drafted or after enlisting in the Armed Forc-es. The military, like the Selective Service, makesprovisions for its members to apply for C.O. statuswhile odoing their duty.�C.O. as a white, middle class toolEven though oon paper� all G.I.Ts share the sameright to apply for C.O. it tums out that in practicethat right is monopolized and serves mainly the inter-ests of white middle class G.I.Ts and college students.After all, lawyers cost money and a G.I. or college stu-dent whose folks got that kind of money power canuse the federal courts in the event that their sonTs C.O.is disapproved by Uncle Sam. The large majority ofG.1.Ts, however, who donTt have that power and whoseC.O.Ts get disapproved, run the risk of going AWOLand getting court-martialled because they canTt pay fortheir sincerity.Another built-in legal Catch-22 which makesC.O. a rich manTs scheme involves G.I.Ts organizingtheir thoughts on paper and then being able to verbal-ize them during an interview with an officer. In mostcases, a white G.I. who has been to college and done alittle philosophy or sociology can express his ideas bet-ter than aG_.I. who didnTt get the chance to attend col-lege for the same reason he didnTt get a lawyer.Since G.1.Ts have no constitutional rights, it is im-portant that G.I.Ts know about their right to apply forC.O. in the Armed Forces.What is a C.O.In the past, the military recognized as a C.O.only those G.I.Ts whose beliefs stemmed from churchreligion. That has changed. A new regulation (AR 635-20) has come down, effective August 1970, It hasgiven G.I.Ts broader grounds on which to apply, de-fining as a C.O. any given person who by reason ofdeeply held moral, ethical, or religious beliefs claimsC.O. to participation to war in any form. This meansyour own moral or ethical beliefs are just as legitimateas those of a person whoTs beliefs are derived from theteaching of an orthodox church.Two types of C.O.According to ARTs their are two types of C.O.If a G.I. finds that he canTt oserve� within the ArmedForces, he can apply for a 1-0 discharge (AR 635-20)This type of C.O. carries with it an Honorable dis-charge. The other type of C.O. is a 1-A-O and meansthat you will stay in the Armed Froces provided youare not ordered to bear arms to kill another person.AG.1. who is classified as 1-A-O0 (660 -20) will be as-aigned a noncombatant MOS, usually a medic. A G.I.should not be lead to believe that mere classificationas a 1-A-0 keeps him out of a combat zorie. It doesnTt!See a C.O. counsellor if youTre having a rough timedeciding your own position.When Can A G.I. ApplyThe rule of thumb is that a G.I. can applyfor C.O. anytime, anywhere, whether it be in acombat zone like Vietnam or stateside duty. How-ever, once a G/ is put on orders for overseas dutyhe has 7 days from the day he receives those orders inwhich to hand in the entire C.O. application, includ-ing letters of support. That's not much time to getall the info together. Tactically it would be better fora G.l. to start working on his C.O. when he comesdown on levy or sooner. However, regulations statethat any additional information can be added to theOriginal application even after it has been filed.The Initial StepIn order to inform your Company Commanderof your intention to apply for C.O., you should sub-mit a typewritten request. This request doesnTt haveto be typed on a DF, plain paper will do. Make sureto retain a copy for a personal file along with any cop-ies of correspondence ~ with the Unit Command.This way if the Company Commander doesnTt act onthe request you can lodge a formal complaint underArticle 138 of the UCMJ to the Secretary of the Armyor else complain to the IG about a particular officerwho was oderelict in the performance of his duty.�C.O. as a political toolThe political implication of a G.I. applying fora C.O. in the military is dynamite. Whatever a G.I.~smoral or ethical position against war, by refusing toalign himself with the politics of the war machine andand by refusing to support their business-product-wara G.I. automatically becomes labeled a trouble-makerand a security risk to Uncle Sam. It is probably theonly recognized right of dissent that a politicized G.I.has within the military. A G.I. who uses this powercan ORDER Westmoreland and the other links in thechain of command to cancel his trip to Vietnam andget away with it. For a G.I. to be able to control hislife in this way is to have political power. No wonderthe lifers refer to most C.O.~s as ~those commiesT.They ~re paranoid!The 3 InterviewsBefore a G.I.Ts application is forwarded to theDA in Washington D.C., where the actual decision ismade, he will be interviewed by a military chaplain. apsychiatrist, and an officer in the grade of O-3 who isknowledgeable with C.O. in the military. In all ofthese interviews a G.I. has the express right to have a_ lawyer or witness present for counsel. The lawyer canbe either military or civilian. If this isn't possible.bring a tape recorder along-itTs a good defender of jus-tice and threatens the interviewerTs power to goof onyour mind and mix up your words.This action is completely legal and looks bad whenthat particular officer comes up for a promotion.Your Company Commander is then obligated.under AR635-20, to follow up on the request andplace a C.O. applicant in a job that ominimally con-flicts with his beliefs.� What this means in practice isthat a G1. is not to handle weapons, ammo, or be as-signed guard duty. A good pressure tactic for a G.I.here to bring out this point is to inform his Command-er about AR635-20 at the same time he submits theC.O. request.meena a : Se.Military Chaplains - Hypocritical in War.DonTt be shocked during the chaplainTs interviewif you become aware of his antagonism towards yourposition, especially if you are requesting C.O. dis-charge. The plain fact of the matter is that most mili-tary chaplains are hypocrites first, officers second, andhuman beings at some other time. They sold out theirhuman rights fora position and a shiny piece of metal.Naturally, when a chaplain interviews a G.I. it giveshis ochristian conscience� negative waves and distortsthose patriotic defense mechanisms.The psychiatristTs interview, on the other hand,isnTt really an interview, just a preliminary psychia-tric evaluation to determine whether a G.I. is sane.The psychiatrist doesn~t throw those notorious what-if questions at a G.l., just asks a little personal his-tory about the family.The last interview is the O-3 interview where za G.I. should have his head together. The O-3 officerdecides whether a G.I.~s beliefs are legal enough tomeet the criteria for C.O. His decision weighs heavilyupon the outcome. If the O-3 officer approves it,DA. usually follows suit. G.I.~s have the right to wai-ver their O-3, but its not a cool tactic, since the re-view board in Washington regards it as a cop outmove. A lawyer here isn~t necessary but can helptremendously.MiscellaneousOnce a G.l. has Completed the interviews hispaper work will be sent to DA and within 6-10 weekshe should have a decision. In the event that a G.I.'sC.O. is disapproved and he can~t afford the cost ofacivilian lawyer, he has the right to re-submit a secondapplication or as many as he wants, as long as theirexists a substantial change. A G.1. also has the right torebutt any statement naade by an interviewer.Women as C.0.TsThe same military regulation making provisionsfor men to apply for C.O. in the Armed Forces, alsoextends to Women in the Armed Forces. A womencan use C.O. as a political tool and express her oppres-sion and be given an Honorable discharge in the eventthat she applies for] -0 status.The regulation requires DA to state reasons inwriting for denying any C.O. application. In practice,the Army uses such vagary as ~lacks required sincer-ityT or ~lacks necessary depth of conviction~. If theC.O. goes to federal court, the Army will be requiredto defend their reasons. The chances of winning incourt vary with the particular judge who hears thecase.Can you win?Barely. The Army quotes figures of 75% approv-al of 1-A-0 applications, and 25% approval of 1-0 dis-charges. in reality, the figures are much lower becausethese numbers include people who went to federalcourt and were successful in getting the Army to re-verse its decision. Even if the chaplains report and O-3 interview are favorable, a disapproval can be expec-ted, but this should not deter the potential C.O. Thisis only the first step.If you win?A person who obtains a 1-A-O almost invariablybecomes a medic. A person who obtains a dischargereceives an honorable discharge but waives his veteransadministration benefits. If a person has served less thansix months before being discharged, he will be assig-ned to the Civilian Alternative Service program thruhis draft board for a period of 2 years. this can meantime in the Public Health Service, a job as a librarianOr a hospital administrator./f you lose?You can reapply, go to court, or quit. The letterof disapproval reminds authorities that you are to bereturned to full regular status and that all pendingpersonnel action may be taken. On occasion, a denialof a C.O. application has been successfully used as acourt defense at any subsequent court-martial for notbeing a good soldier.

page &WANTEDFOR AWOL |(Ins)}--ooUp Against the Bulkhead�, a G.I. paperin the Oakland area, picked up the following item fromthe San Francisco Chronicle of Sept. 15. It was dis-tributed by the UPI:The Pentagon said yesterday it will start usingcomputers and cash rewards in dealing with desertersand servicemen who go AWOL.New regulations, signed August 24 by DeputyDefense Secretary David Packard, for the first timebrought all branches of the Armed Forces under a uni-fied system for handling deserters and those absentwithout official leave (AWOL), a Pentagon spokesmansaid.Under the new rules. a deserter is classified asanyone who is AWOL for more than 30 days, is ab-sent for any period after beiqg convicted under theUniform Code of Military Justice, or sees asylum ina foreign country.A serviceman is considered AWOL under the newrules when he is absent without authority for fewerthan 30 days.The regulations set up a $15 cash reward for theapprehension and detention of absentees, deserters orescaped prisoners. It also set a reward of $35 for any-One capturing and returning to the military an absen-tee or deserter.But Packard said no one could recieve both a$15 and a $35 reward.WHY?Fort McPherson, Ga. (LNS)--The United States gov-emment calls the North Vietnamese~barbaric* becausethey impose mail restrictions on prisoners of war and,the U.S. claims, refuse to disclose the names of all theU.S. war criminals they have captured.But a captain in the United States Army (whois now head of a military jury that will try a soldiercharged with murder in the My Lai massacre case)believes that in an ~unconventional~ war like Vietnamit is proper to summarily execute enemy prisoners ofwar if the order comes down.~We have to forget propriety~, said ColonelRobert A.

You cancheck with post authorities as to the exact number oflower grade enlisted men who burned to death in themin the last 2 years; I think the figure is seven, thoughit may_be higher.The article quotes General Tolson saying thatFt. Bragg has the most liberal haircut policy of anypost. The regulations say that you cannot be forcedto get your hair cut shorter than one inch, and thatyou cannot wear it any longer than three inches ontop and one inch on the sides. The unit commanderhas it at his discretion how.long, between these limitsthe men in his company can wear their hair. Believeme, many commanders like hair short. Some have beenknown to carry rulers around to measure hair with.Adm ticdly, these are small points, but these arethe points that both they and the Department of De-fense choose to deal with.Of more importance to us are the much largerinequeties we are forced to live under, sich as beingtransferred, sometimes to Vietnam, because a highranking officer personally dislikes you or someone ina high position doesnTt want guys to hear what youhave to say. This has personally happened to me.Then there is the promotion system wherebythose with the most time in the Army and/or mosttime in their rank, and/or ogood� military attidude(those most likely to reenlist eventually) are promotedahead of those who often have a much greater abilityto perform the job.On top of these daily injustices we are forcedinto an environment that can best be judged as hostileLook at almost any small town near an army base.What do you find in these towns---high prices, poorhousing, shoddy merchandise, high interest rates, highpressure sales, and a high crime rate. As one man re-cently said, othis town exists solely to separate a GIfrom his paycheck as quickly, as easily and as cheaplyas possible.�These might be small matters to many people,small until they realize that we have to live with themdaily.Until the military does something to correct themore important problems how can we believe thatthey are honestly trying to help and not just tryingto buy off the growing dissent in the military withsuch inane things as selling you two beers in the messhall to go with your supper. We must act accordingly,dissent will grow, until the military treats us as men&women, and not as numbers, machines or even morecommonly, as criminals.STRIKESAGAIN4 -.2f oam baMame ante ahEas420° N W

HSpage 11Sweeping JusticeThree GITs attached to Medical Company WomackArmy Hospital recently attempted to bring court-mar-tial precedings against their Field First Sargeant, UncleTom Bryant in connection with alleged charges of GIbrutality involving Pfc. Stevd Leuis. Out of theirun-successful attempt came no GI justice and a blatant cortradiction---Gl rights and Military justice donTt exist !On Jan.Jl Uncle Tom Bryant walked into a secondfloor room of Pfc. Leuis, Pfc. Johnson, and Pfc.Ves-solini and instructed: the three GITs to clean it up Pfc.Leuis grabbed a broom and after cleaning the floorTswept the trash into a nearby latine. Leuis quickly re-turned to his room for a dust pan and caught some badmouth harassment from Brvant for leaving the trash inthe latine.. Leuis explained that he was looking fora dust pan and inquired of Bryant where one might be.Uncle Tom Bryant broke out in bad mouth attacksagain, and after threatening to use his fist on Leuis or-dered him into the latine behind closed doors to dojust that!Leuis started picking up the trash with his hands,and Bryant started picking up Leuis with his own.BryantTs bad mouth hostility turned from verbal as-sult into mad physical force, and grabbing Leuis bythe arms Bryant threw him up against the latine wall,shaking him with typical caveman finesse.In response to an IG complaint filed by Pfc. Leuisagainst BryantTs uncontrolled behavior, the Command-ing Officer of the Medical Company, ILt John Morrisconducted a preliminary investigation to decide thelegitimacy of the GI brutality charge.The investigation turned out to be a sham fromstart to finish. The Honorable Morris presided at hisown inquiry, acting as judge and jury in defense ofhisown Field First Sargeant. The inquiry was stacked a-gainst the Womack 3, the sworn testimonies of Pfc.Leuis and two GI brothers were discarded.Later, the same GITs tried to court martial Bryantput ran up against the same wall -- the UCMJ. The Catch22 this time--once an investigation action has been ini--tiated nolfurther action can be taken. Of course theTUCJJ doesnTt concern itself with the justice carriedthrough by thataction. Once more theGITs get fuckedover but this time not by the war machine, but by thevery legal ststem that is supposed to protect them.TheGITs at Womack just happened to be case in point.Se OR ER RE SS SR LSratetateteteretete: fatateteT: Bragg Briefs is published by GI's United Against %: the War in Indochina, P.O.

US troops must be withdrawn from all foreign countires and an end to the use of GITsagainst the struggles of oppressed peoples must be realized. Indochina is the first step.Then there are the worlds that seem to separate you and me - prejudice and racism: personal, re-gional and cultural. The glorification of one human being over another must be overcome not only inthe city streets, but in our own backyards. The unethical attitudes of business and government thatexploit individuals and institutions must be ended through a more relevant education of the very basichuman values of equality, justice and the right to pursue happiness for all people.Closer to home,wewant to see an end to the harassment of GITs and a guarantee of constitutional rights through ademocratic army. aOf great importance is an end to the wanton destruction and pollution of the environment byindifferent governmental and cerporate policies with a re-ordering of national, state, and city pri-orities. We must cease to shuffle the responsibility and realize that pollution begins at home...andends there.
