Cartoons from GI Papers published in April - Vietnam (iii) casualties, crimes and the credibility gap

I am reproducing these cartoons, which were in the GI Press during the month of April, from 1968 thru 1975, so the readers can get a fuller idea of the concerns and interests of the GI movement. If you own the copyright on any of these and want them removed, contact me at james_lewes@yahoo.com. If the content of the cartoons offends you, I apologize, but as Robert Crumb once wryly observed they are only lines on paper.

GI Papers publishedDuring the month of April from 1968 thru 1975

	As April is drawing to a close, I thought I would end the month reprinting covers of papers published in April. These have been reproduced alphabetically, starting with A Company Underground and Ending with Your Military Left  Series 2. As I did throughout April, May will begin with a timeline of events and end with the covers of all newspapers published during that month. For skeptics and revisionists who dismiss the existence of the GI Movement, the reproduction of a single paper or just a couple of different titles poses no threat to their position. They can claim, as Congressman Richard Ichord and General Lewis Walt attempted to, during the war as the product of a deliberate effort on the part of civilian activists to make it seem the US Military was riven with dissent and in the process attract, in Donald Rumsfeld's famous phrase, when he first dismissed the Iraqi Insurgency, a few dead enders and malcontents. However, this is far more difficult to do when, as in the case of the number of papers published between 1968 and 1975 during the month of April, you have to account for more than 90 different titles. As you will notice when you scan these covers, the GI movement concerned itself with every aspect of military life and was not confined to a specific geographic locale. There are papers, whose covers are reproduced below, published in Canada, West Germany, West Berlin, most American States, Japan and Okinawa. They published by exiles, reservists, soldiers, sailors and airmen. Some are fairly sophisticated, while others are excellent examples of outsider publications. Please enjoy
