		Deserters from the armed forces of the United States of America deserve the heartfelt and practical support of everyone who is appalled by the cruelty of the war in Vietnam.
		I hope that the Deserters’ Committee in Sweden will continue to be augmented by ex-servicemen who courageously refuse to have anything further to do with this ugly aggression.
		Any American atrocities which may have been committed are justified by atrocities similarly committed in the past by other colonial powers such as Britain.

	informed Americans
		The words "informed Americans" are supposed to mean that US POWs with certain special knowledge were taken to the Soviet Union where they either continue to be held or were executed or died.
		The program was designed to induce American servicemen to desert their posts, bring them to Moscow for brief exploitation, and then move them to Sweden or other locations outside of the Soviet Union.
		The women took the deserter to the American Embassy where, apparently, he was debriefed by a member of the defense attaché staff.

	Nathanael Greene
		With the exception of George Washington, he was the only American general to serve continuously for all eight years and had Washington been captured or killed, he was to take his place as commander-in-chief of the American army.
		It was at this point that the Americans recovered somewhat at King’s Mountain on October 7, where 900 Patriot backwoodsmen and 1,000+ American Tories (British loyalists) clashed, resulting in the destruction of any Tory support in North Carolina and Cornwallis having to retreat across the state.
		The American army, though dilapidated by marching 200 miles, the last 40 of which in 16 hours, celebrated on the other side of the Dan, with all the laurels belonging to Greene.

	THE MONTREAL COUNCIL TO AID WAR RESISTERS
		Both groups were dedicated to aiding fellow Americans who came to Canada to avoid prosecution in the United States for violation of laws related to the war in Viet Nam, however both groups were dedicated to extremely differing degrees.
		And though both groups were diligent in their duties and undeniably sincere in their intent, their effectiveness and their credibility in general were highly suspect at times due to their apparent distrust of one another and their constant "warring" with other aid groups that had sprung up in Montreal and elsewhere.
		A single office housed them both and a single voice was heard on their behalf but The Council was still The Council, The ADC was still the ADC, or what was left of it, and The ARS was the face we all wore for the rest of the world.

	CIC Canada \| Forging Our Legacy: Canadian Citizenship and Immigration, 1900-1977
		American draft-dodgers and military deserters who sought refuge in Canada during the Vietnam War would ignite even more controversy, some of it provoked by the Canadian government's initial refusal to admit those who could not prove that they had been discharged from military service (this changed in 1968).
		Whether or not this estimate is accurate, the fact remains that immigration from the United States was high as long as the war raged and that in 1971 and 1972 Canada received more immigrants from the United States than from any other country.
		A group of U.S. Army deserters who fled to Canada and reunited at the American Deserters Committee, Montréal, Quebec, 7 February 1970.

		The Committee on State Security feels it would be advisable to use the stay of the American seamen in the USSR and their political announcements condemning the aggressive US policy in Vietnam for propaganda purposes in support of the just battle of the Vietnamese people.
		Prepare a leaflet on behalf of the four American seamen with their photographs and signatures containing an appeal to American servicemen in Japan, both those who are permanently stationed there and those who go their on R and R, to protest against the aggressive war in Vietnam.
		On the night of 22 to 23 April, the "Peace to Vietnam" committee accomplished the transport of a group of six Americans from the island of Hokkaido into Soviet territorial waters, and were subsequently handed over to the Soviet border authorities and delivered to the USSR territory.

		In conclusion I think that the international community should pressure Americans to deal with Iraqi mess and denying the escape route and sympathy should be the part of that pressure.
		Be that as it may, its better they desert regardless of the reason, than to continue the slaughter of a third world nation.
		These men have left the safety of their country to go fight in another because they believed it was their duty or it was a bargain that they made toward a better life that they have kept.

		In light of the fact that the Americans were supposed to be fighting in Vietnam for the good of the Vietnamese, their extreme lack of concern for them is truly astounding.
		The Americans were not there to rescue her when she was being raped and tortured in the war.
		Her life was spared on many occasions but it was not due to the American troops, but as a result of her own strong will and determination to see the next day.

		What is new in 1969 is that for the first time many affluent Americans are learning a very little of this disconcerting picture.
		The revelations of atrocities by US servicemen in Vietnam illustrate not isolated acts inadvertently committed by disciplined troops, but the general pattern of the war, for its character is genocidal.
		Several American newspapers have observed that reaction to the {383} massacre revelations has been much more rapid and sharp in Western Europe than in the United States.

		Americans have forgotten the prerequisites for freedom, and those pursuing power have forgotten what it means when it falls into other hands.
		Americans are very close to losing their constitutional system and civil liberties.
		It is paradoxical that American democracy is the likely casualty of a "war on terror" that is being justified in the name of the expansion of democracy.

	September 96 Review
		Speaking at the American Legion Convention, Dino Carluccio, on the staff of Senator Bob Smith, "cited the case of Americans captured and held in northern Laos." He told of wartime photographs and radio interceptions held as evidence by the CIA, which verifies the PoWs existence.
		Oh's descriptions are by far the most detailed to have emerged so far, and there is growing sense in the intelligence community that the notion of surviving American prisoners, however outlandish it sounds at first, is a serious possibility.
		I ask all Americans to join me in honoring former American PoWs and those still unaccounted for as the result of their service to our great Nation.

		Their blind hatred of the men and women who fight to defend their freedom is obscene. If any of the blood they used in the attack is contaminated—as is likely given that the blood was donated by members of Ithaca Catholic Worker—these people should be charged with assault.
		The Catholics who signed this statement acknowledge that their actions are in violation of federal law: “We knowingly and willingly make this plea to you in violation of 18 United States Code (USC) Sec.
		Fine. Americans do indeed have a First Amendment right to be unpatriotic. But when antiwar Stalinists cross the line of peaceful protest, encourage military desertion, and pour human blood on military recruiting centers, they must go to prison for a long, long time.

		The memo expresses pessimism about the possibility that any of the MIAs will be found alive, and argues that continuing Americans in missing status adds to the pressure on the United States to make concessions to Vietnam.
		8/81 Vietnam issues a statement on the MIA question, which refers to the cases of Americans who were "reportedly captured but not registered" and who, because of "war circumstances," died or became "missing" on their way to detention centers.
		Russian government acknowledges that some American deserters were brought to the Soviet Union after the Vietnam War, but there is no evidence that any still remain in China.

		hen the 1973 cease-fire was declared ending the war in Vietnam, an estimated 300 American deserters remained in South Vietnam.
		I was tracking down rumors that two American men were living in the vicinity -- rumors that had already attracted the interest of official U.S. Government MIA POW search teams.
		But the question of who these deserters and defectors were remains a mystery -- as do the methods the U.S. government used to ensure they would remain invisible.

		Democratic leaders are never going to be trusted in matters of foreign policy unless they can convince Americans that they once more believe in American exceptionalism and are the proper co-custodians of values such as freedom and individual liberty.
		Most sane people, however, privately disagree, and distinguish between a civilian’s head rolling on the ground and a snap shot of an American guard pointing at the genitalia of her terrorist ward.
		It would be as if the state-subsidized Ku Klux Klan or the American Nazi party were to be tolerated for purportedly voicing the frustrations of poor working-class whites who “suffered” under a number of supposed grievances.
