Hi friend,

Thank you for listening to our first episode of A Matter of Conscience: GI Resistance during the Vietnam War. We are sincerely grateful for all the positive responses and donations. 

Today you can listen to Episode 2: It Was All A Lie. You’ll hear how the Vietnam-era generation was primed for war based on their father’s and uncle’s experiences during World War II and Korea. We explore how that patriotism turned to disillusionment when soldiers were confronted with the harsh realities of the Vietnam War.

Hosts Bill Short and Willa Seidenberg take listeners on a tour through Bill’s bag of personal war mementos.

You’ll also hear the stories of Marine veterans Paul Atwood and Steve Spund, who instinctively rebelled against the military during basic training.
