ASIAN EDITION Nol FALL 69 FREE To Gig THIS IS THE FIRST ISSUE OF WW GOT THE brASS — PUT' OUT BT G.I.'S, DESERTERS, AND RESISTERS IN EUROPE, UNITED BY OUR OPPOSITION- TO THE MINDLESS WAR IN VIETNAM AND THE PAWN OF THAT WAR, THE U.S. AHMT. We are also united with the large number of itol.'s in the States who have begun to say FTA: G.I.'s at every base are now uniting, finding out that the only way to fight the bullshit is to get together. This is their paper too — the paper of the Presidio 27', the Gr.I.'s United Against the War at Fort Jackson, the Fort Hood' 43, the American Deserters' Committees in Sweden, France, and Canada. And the Gr.I.r# in Japan who got sick and tired of occupying a country that hated their presence and deserted. And the countless men in Vietnam who died for something they didn't understand, and the many others w who have seen that the war is not their war but the war of a handful of fat cats back home, and' have acted by taking a permanent R&R in Japan (en route to Sweden). WHAT UNITES US IS SIMPLE — the unwillingness to kill and be> killed in a war that makes others rich, that our parenis pay for, and that neither the Vietnamese or the majority of the American people want. And the daily oppression of life in the army, taking orders from stupid lifers, learning the robot discipline that gets us prepared for life (?) on the outside. BUT WHAT DIVIDES US IS STRONG TOO — the fear of theestockada, the isolation, being so far from home, and the Feeling that it's impossible to act against a monster the size of the U.S. army when you're alone. But that's no longer true. We are no longei alone. That is why this paper is your paper too; it is the paper of everyone who gets fucked ovpr by the army and begins to fight back. What we can do is break down the army's news blackout of G.I.'s fighting back - in this issue we have concentrated on printing material from Gr.I. underground papers in the SjBates. What you can do is give us more to write about,. ONE OTHER THING — the brass keeps telling you that the people stateside who demand "End the war! Bring the troops home NOW!" are your enemy. If you believe that the answer to guys dying in vain is to have 40,000 more die, probably dig their jive. We can't convince anyone he's being fucked over (that's why we don't expect too many lifers to dig WE GOT THE brASS). But many among us have been stationed in Nam, Korea, Japan. And we know that most guys are hip to the unending stream of lies from Washington and its owners, the corporations. Bveryobe knows the Paris talks are bull- shit" - yet guys get slaughtered "liberating" Hamburger Hill while Lodge and crew live it up in Paris. No more lies about victory, now just die to help the U.S. save face. We- have said no to their bullshit - and begun to take control of our own lives. Join us! 40 ,.000 you can THIS IS YOUR PERSONAL PROPERTY.' IT CANNOT BE TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU.
