There is no mention of the war in Iraq in David Zeiger's documentary, which tells the story of the war in Vietnam from the point of view of the veterans and active duty military who became the strongest and most courageous voices of the peace movement. Still, this is obviously a timely cautionary tale. Zeiger is an insider to an aspect of Vietnam that has been written out of history. A civilian, he helped run the Oleo Strut, a coffee house on a military base in Fort Hood, Texas. In the late 1960's it became a center of anti-war activism. Some 35 years later he decided to document the story of veterans and soldiers who opposed the war, which began with a handful of resisters (among them the eloquent Dr. Howard Levy, former Green Beret David Duncan, and purple heart recipient Terry Whitmore), and ended with massive disobedience in the killing fields by thousands of soldiers who refused to fight in a war they came to regard as criminal.
