Inside the U.S. military, the means to organize and create a forum to express misgivings were extremely scarce, the exception being the GI press. Hundreds of these publications were circulated stateside on military bases and GI coffee houses. Still other publications such as Vietnam GI, sought a larger influence, and began sending copies overseas shipped in inconspicuous brown paper bags. In the GI Press, articles were often adapted from diary entries, depicting missions and various experiences throughout the military. The text and images spoke volumes about the true nature of the war and the inner contention between the “grunt” and the “brass.” The images seen here are from various GI press publications including Counter Attack, All Ready on the Left, Out Now, Left Face, FTA, Fatigue Press.
