Vietnam grunt to underground GI paper publisher, the Paul Cox podcast; Before You Enlist!
Podcast: Paul Cox, Vietnam grunt to underground GI paper publisher
“I felt really bad about myself that I’d been so stupid and incurious that I had let myself go off into this war without ever having thought about it. And that I was very lucky to be alive, but there’s a little bit of survivor guilt, and there was a lot of guilt that I didn’t have the courage to stand up on the day that we killed those people,” explains Paul Cox.
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 Paul Cox's story now.
Video: Before you enlist! The real deal.
The real deal on joining the military, as told by veterans, and what the military recruiters won't tell you.
“Before You Enlist!” (16 minutes) provides a rational voice to counter the seductive and often deceptive recruiting practices of the U.S. military. The message is not “don’t enlist” but rather to provide young people and their families a more complete picture of the life-altering consequences of joining the military – especially in wartime. Watch "Before You Enlist!" now.

We shared our new 75 second promotional video on Facebook last week. Yes, FB is kind of evil, but we still reach a lot of folks that way. Please check it out, share with friends, and "like" our FB page.
During last Sunday's Objector Church online meetup, James Branum discussed the history of St. Patrick and the St. Patrick’s Battalion (Batallón de San Patricio), a unit of several hundred immigrants and expatriates of European descent who fought for Mexico in the Mexican–American War of 1846–48. Most of the battalion’s members had deserted or defected from the US Army. Watch the video here.
