American Servicemen

By VVAW

[Printer-Friendly Version]

Carrying out the policy of the South Vietnam National Front for Liberation and the Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of the South Vietnam towards anti-war GI's, captured or wounded American servicemen on the battlefields, the Command of the South Vietnam People's Liberation Armed Forces on April 26, 1971 ordered its officers and men:

1. Not to attack those anti-war US servicemen-individuals or groups- who demand repatriation, oppose orders of the US Commanders, and abstain from hostile actions against the People's Liberation Armed Forces, from supporting or coming to the rescue of the Saigon army, encroaching on freedoms, property and lives of the South Vietnamese people, interfering in their internal affairs, hindering their struggles against the Thieu-Ky-Khiem clique.

2. To give proper treatment to those US servicemen- individuals or groups – who in action refrain from opposing the People's Liberation Armed Forces, and those who carry with them anti-war literature.

3. To stand ready to extend aid and protection to those anti-war US servicemen who have to run away for their oppositions, to harsh discipline and to discriminatory policy in the army.

4. To welcome and give good treatment to those US servicemen who cross over to the South Vietnam people and the People's Liberation Armed Forces; to stand ready to help them go home or seek asylum in another country if requested by them.

5. To welcome and to grant appropriate rewards to those U.S. servicemen – individuals or groups- who support the National Front for Liberation and the Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam.

The Command of the South Vietnam People's Liberation Armed Forces calls on the officers and men in all services of the U.S. army in South Vietnam to make their best efforts to demand their repatriation, to refuse to go submissively to a useless death in the unjust war in Vietnam and Indochina, to try by every means to enter into contact with and to inform the South Vietnam people and the People's Liberation Armed forces of their anti-war actions in order to receive assistance.

THE COMMAND OF THE SOUTH VIETNAM PEOPLE'S LIBERATION ARMED FORCES
Dateline NY (EDP)
Oct 16&17

The Nassau County Chapter of the NYS Region led a convoy, consisting of several trucks, vans, and cars, filled with vets and friends, into the apathetic red-neck county of Long Island.

Guerilla theater was enacted on the outskirts of towns where people still do not realize what our Government is doing to the Vietnamese. The blood stained streets attest to the fact that the vets are determined to shake up the consciousness of America, and the horror stricken faces of the townsfolk prove that our job is not done.

That night several films were shown at Nassau Community College and nine vets talked about the "new War" the air war and the electronic battlefield- following the pattern of Boston WSI. It was a long day and enlightening day for vets and apathetic citizens alike.
