"I realized that the US was a criminal enterprise" - The Patrick McCann podcast
Podcast: Patrick McCann, "I realized that the US was a criminal enterprise"
“So they called me up to the lieutenant’s office. By this point I was already done, stick a fork in me, I ain’t thinking about you, I ain’t doing what you want. I walk in and he says, “Hit a brace,” which means stand at attention. I said, “I ain’t hitting no fucking brace.””
This year marks 50 years of GI resistance, in and out of uniform, for many of the courageous individuals featured in our currently weekly podcasts highlighting Vietnam-era GI resisters. Please help us raise at least $7,500 to produce this year-long series of dozens of interviews so that this history is not lost!
Patrick grew up in a military family with a father who was in the CIA and brother who served in Vietnam. He volunteered for the Air Force but had his views on war and America radically changed while attending a Black Panther rally while on leave.
D O N A T Eto support the production of these podcasts
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." Listen to Patrick McCann'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!
We can't let this history be lost or glossed over by the Pentagon's pro-war narrative!
