DVD: Soldiers Speak Out
$18.00 $10.00 On Sale!
DVD-SSO
THIS DVD NEEDS TO BE SEEN BY EVERY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT IN THE COUNTRY. It's short enough (28 minutes) to show in a class. It effectively counters the disinformation recruiters routinely tell young people about enlisting.
"A powerful, first-hand testament to the reality of the military experience, told entirely in the words of American veterans who have been to war and now oppose it."
Soldiers Speak Out sheds light on the growing and courageous anti-war and anti-occupation movement within the military and military families.

DVD: The Ground Truth
$19.00
DVD-TGT
Produced & directed by Patricia Foulkrod (2006) 1 hour 18 minutes.
This film may well be the best feature-length documentary about recently-returned Iraq war veterans yet made. Ideally, show it in conjunction with the film, "Soldiers Speak Out" (28 minutes). Together they make a very persuasive case against war, militarism and sacrifice to a trumped-up false "noble" cause.

DVD: Winter Soldier
$25.00
DVD-WS
A film as relevant today as it was 35 years ago when it was made. Listen to these 18 to 25 year old soldiers speaking their truth to an America that was unwilling to listen to them at the time, which is in large part why we are in the occupation/quagmire we are in today. We did not learn the bitter lessons of that war, and find ourselves, once again, waist-deep in another mistake of a war only the stakes are far greater today.
"One of the most devastating antiwar films ever made!...A testament to those who had the bravery to speak out and speak up." David Fear, Time Out New York

$39.00 $31.00 On Sale!
DVD-H&M
Directed by Peter Davis 1974 112 minutes The Classic Academy Award winner for Best Documentary, 1974 Released by the Criterion Collection.
Chillingly relevant to our times, filmmaker and journalist Peter Davis illustrates, in poignant graphic terms, both the horrors and lessons of the Vietnam war. Edited from over 200 hours of footage - incorporating newsreels, telecasts, even scenes from Hollywood war movies - Davis' film captures the experience of war through multiple perspectives, depicting its effects on the diverse range its participants (from "doves" to "hawks," military advisors to bombing victims, G.I.'s to bar girls) both in Vietnam and the United States.

Button: Yo No Soy El Army [Spanish for I'm Not An Army of One]
$1.50 $1.00 On Sale!
YNS
(1.25" Button) The Army's latest recruiting pitch is emphatically countered in Spanish. The whole "Army of One" is an advertising catch-phrase designed to appeal to a young man's macho fantasy of personal super-hero delusion. Only the truly courageous will wear this; only those who know they're being lied to by recruiters and who can resist the bait.

Book: Mission Rejected - U.S. Soldiers Who Say No to Iraq
$14.00
BK-MR
by Peter Laufer; Foreword by Norman Solomon
Paperback, 212 pages
"This is a book about American heroes. They experienced the futility, the inhumanity and the brutality of the war in Iraq and then, at great personal sacrifice, made the decision to resist and obey their consciences. When this country gives them medals of honor I will know we live in a just society." Michael Ratner
"Here's a book that talks turkey about the BushCheneyRummy mess in Iraq. First these young soldiers risked their lives in that dreadful war, then they came home an risked their livlihoods to tell us the truth: it's an immoral, illegal war of lies that dishonors our country's noble ideals. All Congress should read Mission Rejected and the apologize for their role in creating the mess." Jim Hightower
"My son died in Iraq for lies and greed. The sons and daughters in this book are living for peace. I hope that all American soldiers will read Mission Rejected and realize that they don't have to follow bad orders." Cindy Sheehan
Peter Laufer, a Vietnam War rsister, is the author of several books about conflict and migration, including Wetback Nation: The Case for Opening the Mexiocan-American border. A former NBC News corrspondent, he lives in Sonoma County, in northern California. Visit his website, www.peterlaufer.com
