DESCRIPTION:The Suppressed Story of the GI Movement to End the War in 
 Vietnam\n\nScreening of SIR! NO SIR!, an award winning documentary by David 
 Zeiger\n\nThis film tells the true story of the powerful anti-war movement 
 which emerged inside the US military during the war in Vietnam. It shows 
 GIs testifying to committing war crimes against the people of Vietnam – 
 and it show GIs and veterans going over to fight against the war and even 
 the US government. It is a powerful antidote to the lies about the war in 
 Vietnam that make heroes of the US military which dropped napalm on 
 children. And it is a crucial message in today’s world when far too many 
 are being sucked into supporting the imperialist US/NATO war in Ukraine, 
 which could trigger nuclear war.\n\nAnd we are showing it on Fleet Week, 
 Oct 2-9, when the SF Bay will be filled with a show of military might: the 
 thunderous roar of Navy Blue Angels fighter planes will pierce the skies 
 and a "parade" of Navy ships will invade the bay.\n\nFleet Week is not a 
 harmless spectacle.\n\nFleet Week is a demonstration of US power aimed at 
 increasing people's allegiance to this blood-soaked government and its 
 crimes against humanity.\n\nWhen US arms Ukraine with cluster bombs in its 
 proxy war with Russia, this greatly increases the danger of nuclear war. At 
 the same time the US threatens China, heightening the rivalry over which 
 country will be top-dog in the world.\n\nThis film is a must-see for all 
 who are sickened by the US government and its war moves and what it has 
 already done to people all over the planet. And for all who want to know 
 the truth about the war in Vietnam and the role of the US not as a force 
 for good, but one of imperialist war, domination, colonialization, forcing 
 people from their countries.\n\nWe welcome people who disagree with what we 
 are saying here and challenge them to come and defend what the US did in 
 Vietnam and this genocidal empire.\n\nThe statement Allegiance from 
 www.revcom.us says:\n\n"NO, to this Republic of the so-called “United 
 States” of America, with its blood soaked red, white, and blue rag, and 
 the system for which it stands—the economic and political system of 
 capitalism-imperialism.\n\nA Republic whose “National Anthem” was 
 written by a slave owner (Oh, oh say can you see... all the 
 sla-a-ver-y...)! ...\n\nYES, TO A RADICALLY DIFFERENT REPUBLIC AND MUCH 
 BETTER SYSTEM—a new socialist republic, a system which will move to 
 abolish and uproot all this madness and give the highest expression to 
 people’s humanity, and a future corresponding to people’s highest 
 aspirations."\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2023/10/02/18859316.php
