“We would go into the barracks — big bays with 50 people in a bay — and we’d stand up on a footlocker and start talking about the war. We would try to get someone who was for the war to debate with us. We found that was the easiest way to bring up all the discrepancies of why we were fighting in Vietnam. There weren’t a lot of guys who would get up and speak for the war. But when there were, we wouldn’t try to destroy them; we would just try to reason. Having this open debate was how we could get many people to listen. It worked really well.”
