 there!\n\n\n"Sir! No Sir"\n\nIn the 1960's an anti-war movement emerged 
 that altered the course of\nhistory. This movement didn't take place on 
 college campuses, but in\nbarracks and on aircraft carriers. It flourished 
 in army stockades, navy\nbrigs and in the dingy towns that surround 
 military bases. It penetrated\nelite military colleges like West Point. And 
 it spread throughout the\nbattlefields of Vietnam. It was a movement no one 
 expected, least of all\nthose in it. Hundreds went to prison and thousands 
 into exile. And by 1971\nit had, in the words of one colonel, infested the 
 entire armed services.\nYet today few people know about the GI movement 
 against the war in\nVietnam.\n\nSIR! NO SIR! aims to change all that. The 
 film does four things: 1) Brings\nto life the history of the GI movement 
 through the stories of those who\nwere part of it; 2) Reveals the explosion 
 of defiance that the movement\ngave birth to with never-before-seen 
 archival material; 3) Explores the\nprofound impact that movement had on 
 the military and the war itself; and\n4) Tells the story of how and why the 
 GI Movement has been replaced with\nthe myth of the spat-upon veteran.\n\n
