Podcast: Gene Marx, "Sir: We're not the good guys"
“You know what Commander, I’m not going to be doing that.” He told me, “Why not?” I said, “I don’t know if you’ve noticed it over here, but we’re not the good guys,” explained Gene Marx to his XO in Vietnam.
“I was up on a strike one evening, I saw my first Arch Light strike. It’s a term that they use with B-52 carpet bombings…. I’m thinking at the time, “There couldn’t possibly be anything alive up there underneath that.”
This Courage to Resist podcast was produced in collaboration with the Vietnam Full Disclosure effort of Veterans For Peace -- "Towards an honest commemoration of the American war in Vietnam." This year marks 50 years of GI resistance, in and out of uniform, for many of the courageous individuals featured.  Listen to Gene Marx's story now.

We're collecting first person accounts of “military resistance.” Some will become podcast episodes, like the one above. We're seeking individuals that took a stand of some kind against war in general, or a specific war, while in uniform, as well as individuals who refused to be drafted into the military. Share your story!

Veterans call on U.S. troops to resist illegal orders to invade Venezuela in response to Trump! “While President Trump speaks of supporting democracy in Venezuela and Latin America, the real purpose of the U.S. assault on the Venezuelan government is to fully open the vast Venezuelan oil reserves to U.S. and other Western oil corporations as well as to destroy progressive governments in Latin America that put their own peoples’ needs above the profits of foreign corporations” -- Gerry Condon, Veterans For Peace.
