A Question about UCM)Dear Bragg Briefs,I am currently stationed with theUS Army at Fort Bragg NC. Recently I ~Was discussing the UCMJ with a few ofmy comrades. An interesting point wasbrought up concerning how the UCMJtreats AWOL cases.Under the present code, a man isZiven an article 15, which usuallycarries a fine, provided he was AWOLfor less than 30 days. This practiceputs the man in double jeopardy forthis one offense,(1) He loses money, from hispay, for the days he wasAWOL.(2) He recieves an article 15for being AWOL, and thisusually has a fine of any-where from $26-$60.We feel that if a man goes AWOL,money should be deducted from his pay,in accordance with how much he makesdaily, and the number of days he wasAWOL. We also feel that if the Armypunishes this man under the UCMJ, thenno fine should be imposed.Do you think our argument is valid?If not, please explain; but if you dothink we have a valid argument, pleasegive us guidance as to how we can pre-sent this matter for redress to theproper authority.Truly,Pvt. Richard M. Paireand and a replyReply: Yes, we feel that the argumentis valid---an improvement over theArmy's not only double, but tripleJeopardy punishment.(You don't wantto be in the Army in the first place.Most people are either manuevered intoenlisting by the way our society isset up, or just plain abducted bybeing drafted. )We suggest you send your ideas toyour Congressman, the Senate ArmedServices Committee, Congressman RonDellums (who is conducting, militaryhearings), and the Departments ofDefense and the Army.We suggest you send it to thePresident too if you want to, but wedoubt very mch if you'll get anyresponse at all from anybody butCongressman Dellums and maybe a formletter from your own Congressman.The enlisted man is slave laborfor the Army, and history shows thatSlavemasters aren't very humane people.pageIT TS OUR DUTY TO SUPPORT MAYDAYTSince 1967, the people have beenprotesting the role of the United Sta-tes in Veitnam. In numerous marchesdemonstrations, and petitions we havevoiced our disgust at the way the lea-ders of this country have conductedgenocide against our Vietnamese brot-hers-and sisters in the name of domoc-racy. The responce of the governmenthas been, unlike the promises in theConstitution, the ignoring of the exp-ress will of the people and the use ofSystematic murder of thi Vietnamesepeople to enrighen the pockets of thebig businessmen of this country.On April 24th, 500,000 people bandtogether with one common goal, the endof the American agression and envolve-ment in Indochina. We marched togethesang together, and prayed for peace together, but those in power refused tolisten. While we were demanding theend of the killing in Indochina the defoliation went on.

' page6éThree women from Fayetteville jour-neyed to Toronto, Canada April 9 to 12to meet with women from the liberatedzones of Indochina. Alyce Forster,Joan Heyding, and Deborah Rossmanjoined 500 other women from the unitedStates and Canada in talking with sixwomen from Indochina,T the first suchconvention to take place on the NorthAmerican continent. Two women eachfrom North Vietnam, South Vietnam, andLaos came to speak to us about theurgency of ending the American war of 'aggression in Indochina.Over the course of the three dayswe were able to talk with the Indoch-inese sisters in large and small work-shops, speaking sometimes throughtheir own interpreters, or throughthose of us who could speak French.Their strength and joy and commitmentto their struggle were contagious.They sang to us and embraced us, theirfaces alive with the beauty of theirspirit. It is this spirit thatenables half the population of Laos tolive in caves to escape the rain ofAmerican bombs, and then to hang acageful of songbirds in the shaft ofsunlight at the entrance.They emphasized the fallacy of the"Nixon Doctrine" which claims that theUnited states no longer wants to be aninternational cop. But only the meth-od, and not the aim of United Statespolicy has changed, they said. Nixonis widening the war while withdrawingtroops. He is now using Asians tofight Asians, turning Indochina into aneo-colony. "Vietnamization" onlymeans a change in the complexion ofthe corpses on the battlefields.They warned that Nixon is able towithdrew troops because he is mech-anizing the war, using sensitiveground sensors that trigger almostWithLocal Women Talk PeaceViefnameseinstant saturation bombings. But itis the chemical warfare, the biocideof Indochina, that most threatens todefeat them.The numerous facts and figures theyconfronted us with were nightmarish:--the genetic damage caused bychemical defoliants in Vietnam is sixtimes worse than that caused by theatom bomb in Hiroshima.INDOCHINA WARDEAD HONOREDFrom the opening words of PeteSeeger, "We are climbing Jacob'sladder, Brothers in this world," tothe closing notes of the "Taps," theMemorial Service for All IndochinaWar-Dead, held at Washington Nation-al Cathedral on Friday evening,April 23rd, was a potent and movingstatement against the insanity ofwar and the inhumanity of the con-tinued American presence in Vietnam.The service, sponsered vy theConcerned Officers Movement, and at-tended by 2500 people, includingover 700 active duty GI~s in uniformculminated the weeklong activitiesof the Vietnam Veterans Against theWar and set the stage for the mas-sive Antiwar demonstration held the -next day, April 24th.The Pentagon, which usually en-courages servicemen to attend churchin uniform, just hours before theservice declared the meeting at ~Washington Cathedral a "politicaldemonstration," and sald that atten-dance in uniform would be in viola-tion of DOD directives. The Pentagoncould presumably declare the earthflat and believe that their wordwould be- accepted as natural law. Itwas obvious to those who attendedthat no court of law could upholdcalling this religious service apolitical demonstration. Nonethelessit took a considerable amount ofcourage for 700 GI's to openly vio-late the orders of the Pentagon, al-though many did not know of the de-cision until after the service. Ap-proximately 20 GI's and officersfrom Fort Bragg attended.Perhaps the most meaningful mo-ment of the evening came when the"Voices For The Dead" - a formerArmy surgeon, a former intelligencesergeant, a conscientious objector,an active duty Vietnam veteran, andthe mother of a GI killed in. Vietnamread short p®rsonal statements orpoetry lamenting the senseless wasteof human life and the insanity ofthis immoral and debilitating war.CONCERNED OFFICERS MOVEMENT MeetingsTuesday pemeuee at Haymarket Square--3,000 tons of bombs are droppedper day on Laos.--2 million tons of bombs weredropped in the last two years overVietnam; more than the total numberdropped in W.W.II.--106 North Vietnamese villageshave been attacked since the bombing"halt",--A new napalm with magnesium thatburns at 1,500 to 2,500°C is nowbeing used.-~-43% of the forests of Vietnamhave been destroyed.One by one the Indochinese Sisterstold us their life stories: of famil-les separated by the war; of fathersassassinated by the CIA; of husbands,Sisters, and brothers killed byAmerican troops; the many My Lai'sthat had forced each of them to jointhe struggle against US imperialism.Three of the women were teachers, onea professor, one an obstetrician andOne woman who had been imprisoned andtortured for six years.There was enthusiastic applause toa letter of solidarity from GI'sUnited. They spoke of the courage ofGI's who refused to go on patrol orwho turn their weapons against theirofficers. Over and over, they. stressedtheir solidarity with the Americanpeople:"We recognize the commitment ofthird world peoples and youth to fightoppression. We wish our Americansisters and brothers a spring ofsuccess. We wish health and happinessto you and your families. United wewill win."We attended the conference as rep-resentatives of Women's Emancipation,a women's group in Fayetteville.Anyone interested in joining W.E.or in rapping about the conferencecan contact us at Haymarket or call485-5725.GOs Siti OKThere has been a rumor circu-lating around Fort Bragg about arecent Supreme Court decision con-cerning applying for ConscientiousObjector Status. The rumor goessomething like this: That a man inthe military. cannot file for a COdischarge or non-combatant statusunless he registered as a Conscien-tious Objector with his draft boardbefore he went into the military.THIS RUMOR IS NOT TRUE!ARMY USES SCARE TACTICS. AGAINST WACSThe WAC Detachment here at FortBragg is presently at an all timelow level of moral because of a CIDinvestigation on drug use and gay-ness among the woman in the company.The extreme paranoia stems fromthe coercian being used by the CIDin trying to get statements from thewomen in the company to be used as"evidence" against other WACs.Two WAC's who were released fromthe Army 3 months ago on 212's toldus that the reason for thier dis-missal, and the high level of fearin general, is the Army's acceptanceof even a statement from a singleperson as grounds for court-martialor 212 proceedings.As more women are writing state-ments, hoping to save themselves,the WAC's who are being written upare then writting statements on theWAC's who made statements against them,The way it's going now, there mayT soonbe no WAC's left at Fort Brage.The Army's investigation stemsfrom its fear of the way some of theWACS were getting together aroundtheir gayness. The military is makinga special effort to separate gay WACSbecause the Army knows if they canget together around their gayness,they can get together against themilitary.Straight WACs are easy to keepseparated because they are forced(by society in general and Army con-ditions in particular) to compete witheach other for men. Gay WACs have tostick together to survive--both emo-tionally and physically.If the Army doesn't stop hasslingthe WACs here at Bragg they are allgoing to get it together---gay andstraight alike, and then CID willhave something to worry about..ae ee ee

FINALLY THE: ARMY INTIMIDATED THEM INTO MOVING.: BRAGG BRIEFS INTERVIEWED ALYCE ABOUT HER DECISION TO FIGHT THE: ARMY AND HER ULTIMATE SURRENDER.THEYMy husband cleared post in variousplaces, and when he left, I asked himif he had taken care of everything.He said yes, so I assumed he had. Wereceived no orders to leave quarters,and my husband said just sit there,and don't worry about it, so I sathere from October to April.To be honest with you, I had nointentions of moving. I could havemoved to housing supplied at otherposts, like Ft. Campbell or Ft. RileyBut last time my husband went to Viet-nam I got quarters at Ft. Campbell, ~and they were horrible quarters, withseven mice a night, and roaches, Imean like wall to wall roaches.I just didn't want to move, that'sall there is to it; it's a hassle.And another thing, it was almost in-possible really, because he had 3months T.D.Y. at Special Forces and3 more months in Texas for languageschool, and when he came back theygave us just a few days leave. Infact, they didn't want to even givehim leave. But he complained until .they gave him seven days, and I wasn'tgoing to spend that time looking fora house. I felt, you know, this man'sgoing to be gone 18 months from hisfamily.The way I looked at it, my hus-band was sent to Vietnam twice; thefirst time he got wounded three times.You know, this man went through a lot;he shouldn't have to sit there andworry where he's golng to put me. Ifelt this way: Perhaps I could be thefirst to say to the army, "I'm notgoing to move. You're sending myhusband to Vietnam, now you shouldprovide for me. Why should my fan-{ly be forced to move because of theactions of the army?" It was the prin-ciple of the thing really. I justdidn't want to move,They never would have known I wasthere, except one of my neighborstold on me. I know why, because I'mpolitically active. In fact,he toldhis children not to come over. Any-way, I got a call: "Mrs. Forster,where's your husband?" I said inVietnam. They told me I was illegallyin quarters. I said, "I am not il-legally here. I have been here forfive months, and you have takenquarters allowance every month frommy husband's pay." They said I hadto move. I said I refused to, and hungup the phone,I didn't hear any more until threeweeks later, when the Executive Offi-cer of the 508th came. I guess theythought it was very simple, but I toldhim I wasn't moving, so they quicklytook him out of it, because the armygaid that here was this crazy woman,and she really wasn't going to move.A colonel in charge of housingcalled me. He was wery helpful interms of doing anything to help memove, but he turned nasty when hesaw I wasn't going to. He said, "Thisis the first time this has happened;we can't believe it. You are actuallyfefusing to move?7!!" I said, "I'mnot moving." That's when he asked me,"Mrs. Forster, please, PLEASE, can wehave a little cooperation?" He offeredto ghow me off-post housing lists. Isaid I didn*t want to see any lists,I wasn't moving, and got up and walkedout on hin.I was given a letter saying thatI was illegally occupying governmentquarters. I was given until the 26thof March to move, and I received theletter about four days prior to the26th, Army regulations state thatyou are supposed to be given 30 to60 days notice before you move. .Then a captain called from thelegal office, and said he was thelawyer assigned to me, and he wantedto inform me of my rights. He was veryAn Army Wife Fights Backmy case. That was my last hape becauseI'd gone all the way up the chain ofcommand, But they stalled and stalledbecause they knew he was leaving.So I was forced to give up. I feelso strongly that the Army should makeprovision for dependants, that I wouldhave been willing to go to jail. If Inad had the money for a lawyer, I ~would have stuck it out. But theythreatened my husband and children,and I didn't want them to suffer formy actions.They sent my husband over there tosome remote area where he can't evenget a message back, and what is hesupposed to do? How is he supposed tofunction over there if he is forced toworry about his family? Here 1s a manwith 22 years in the army, fightingfor what he believes is right, and heis liable to be court-martialed becauseI refuse to move off post.And here I am with my husband inVietnam fighting this stinking war andthey're going to kick me off post be-cause I refuse to move from quarterswhich were the only place I could staywith my kids, because I didn't haveany money. They send the husbands toVietnam and its unbelievable the suf-fering that the wives and children areforced to go through.Some children just can't adjust tomoving all the time. My son movedthree times in one year in high schoolHis guidance counselor told him he wasnot college material and he just lostall confidence in himself.My daughter is five years old andshe had seen her daddy two years outof her life..In so many ways the armyreally messes up families.The seperation rate of familieswhen the husband goes to Vietnam is 60or 70%. Its really hard to take wait+ing for your husband all that time.Its physically and mentally difficultin many ways. Husbands come home, andthey're not even the same person. Whenmy husband writes, he doesn't evensound like himself. I don't knowwhat's going on over there. It's likeDr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.I asked the Colonel to at leastlet me stay until my kids finishschool, and then I would move. SinceI have one child in kindergarten, ~it would mean 3 trips a day, 5 daysa week to get them to school on postif we moved. But my problem fell ondeaf ears.oThey say the Army takes care of its own.ThatTs a laugh!�nice. He said that he was supposed toinform me that they were going to takelegat action if necessary, and I quote,~even if it means nandcuffing you anddragging you out of the apartment."I said, oYou mean physically hand-cuffing me and literflly dragging me! 7?"He said the colonel told him I wouldbe handcuffed if I refused to move,because I was on government property.But I am an army dependent, and theysay The Army Takes Care Of Its Own.That's a big laugh.I was called in to see Captain Sul-livan, and when I told him I wasn'tgoing to move he raised his voice andSaid, "Hell. You are going to move! Wehave ways to make you."Then he showed me this document des-scribing how they would use any meansnecessary to get me out.He told me, "Your husband could getcourt-martialed and you will lose yourcommissary privileges and be barredfrom this post."I triedT to see General Tolson. Ifelt he would have really understoodI was told thoseT were the rules ofthe game. They told me they do every-thing according to army regulations,but they use it to their advantage,like a double standard. For example,there's a directive that states theycannot legally move our furnitureWOMEN WHO WOULD LIKE TO GET TOGETHERTO TALK ABOUT THE PROBLEMS FACINGARMY WIVES SHOULD CALL ALYCE :AT 867-1542. :without written permission from myhusband. The wife has no power ofattorney. But they said, "Don't worry,we can waive that." According to armyregs, they have illegally moved me.I told the Colonel, "I get $400 amonth. If I move off-post, there'sno way in the world I can live, eat,and pay rent and utilities on $400.My husband will send me extra quartersallowance, but it takes a good 2 or 3months before finance in Vietnam getscont.on pg.8

GITs United PlatformRealizing that worgls, evers thoughts concerning the many problems that con: -fromt this nation today are, frankly, of little importance, GI's United, in an effort to bapart of a national solution to these problenis, lists a platform of priorities that must be .met if the ideals in the minds of men can ever hope to be realized. ;: A unilateral withdrawal of military personnel, arms and war materiel that ac-tivély, inactively or inadvertently suppresses the struggle for self-determination of thepeoples of Indochina remains the primarv issue. Without an end to the vain hope of mil-itary triumph, without an end to corporate America forcing its markets of overabun-dance, waste and greed on peoples of other nations, without an end to the much tooreal misuse of Americans by Americans, without the cessation of imperialism, the vast-ly more important question of the survival of the human race cannot be reconciled.U.S. foreign policv that supports cruel and unjust dictatorships only to ensurethe survival of the American economy and the corporate system must cease, and theU.S. must begin to support peoplesT struggles for justice and liberation not only inVietnam but in nations such as Brazil, Argentina and Angola as well. U.S. troops mustbe withdrawn from all foreign countries and an end to the use of GITs against thestruggles of oppressed peoples must be realized. Indochina is the first step.Then there are the worlds that seem to separate you and me - prejudice andracism: personal, regional and cultural. The glorification of one human being overanother must be overcome not only on the city streets, but in our own backyards.The unethical attitudes of business and government that exploit individuals and insti-tutions must be ended through a more relevant education of the very basic humanvalues of equality, justice and the right to pursue happiness for all people. Closer tohome, in our military world we want to see an end to the harassment of GI's and aguarantee of constitutional rights through a democratic army.Of great importance is an end to the wanton destruction and pollution of theenvironment by indifferent governmental and corporate policies with a re-ordering ofnational, state and city priorities. We must cease to shuffie the responsibility and real-ize that pollution begins at home...also ends. There can be no second thoughts.We must go beyond our own selfish desires, beyond nationalism, beyond revo-lution and seek to bring about an America where barriers to love and deep human rela-tionships - assumptions of superiority - are replaced with the principles of equality andfraternity.Alyce(cont.from pg. 7)that straight. So what am I supposedto do before then?® He told me theRed Cross would help me.So I went to see the Red Cross,and they were very helpful. They triedto contact my husband who is inavery remote area.But the A.E.R. (Army Emergency Re=lief) was a different story. They takemoney from every serviceman everymonth. It*s supposed to be for thedependents if they're in an emergency.It was the end of the month, andI had no money to even put down on ahouse. Captain Flowers at the A.E.R.wouldn't @�,�ven see me until the RedCross made a special call to him.WHAT WE ARE AGAINST1. We oppose the U.S. government's attempt to crush the Vietnamese revoiution.2. We oppose the economic exploitation of GI's by Fayetteville merchants.3. We oppose the economic exploitation of GITs by the U.S. government which wonTtpay GI's a fair wage, but which endlessly gives gravy contracts to war corporations.4. We oppose the continued use of GI's against struggles of Americans fighting for jus-tice - blacks, women, students, workers, etc.. We oppose the U.S. government's support for the brutal worBrazil, Greece, Spain, South Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Gless dictatorships intemala, Iran, etc.WHAT WE ARE FOR. We want GI's to be treated as first class citizens, both by the military and the civi-lian communities.. We want GI's to receive full protection of Constitutional rights.. We want a society where barriers to love and deep human r2!ationships-the assump-tions of supgriority between races and between men and women-are replaced withthe principles of equality and fraternity.. We want the United States to begin supporting the truly heroic revolutionary strig-gles for justice in Brazil, Guatemala, South Vietnam, Angola, etc.. We want a country where the needs of people for decent wages and fair prices,clean air and water, and a rational use of resources, overrules the profit instincts ofU.S. corporations.. We want a country where everyone has the same educational, recreational, and occu-pational Opportunites that today are the privileges of the rich and upper middleclasses.Bragg GIsTo ReceiveTrainingTGI Counselor Training sessions Willbegin on Sunday, May 16, and will runfor the three or four following days.They make sure they have a man withno heart in there, who will not fallfor any story.
