"AR 381-135 (D): Unit commanders shall further ensure that there is
no interference with the U.S. mail and that every individual under his command has the right
to read and retain commercial publications for his own personal use."
— Common posting on the front pages of G.I. publications
Dissent in the Vietnam War was not limited to protesters in the United States. Servicemen in Vietnam
were a powerful force in the anti-war movement, publishing underground newspapers at military bases
and installations throughout the world. The G.I. publications listed here were created by
African-American soldiers and cover events important to the black G.I., such as the trials of George
Daniels and William Harvey and Billy Dean Smith, military riots on the aircraft carriers U.S.S. Kitty Hawk and
Constellation, riots in the United States, military regulations affecting black military personnel, the Black Panther Party,
and much more. Though the content varies from publication to publication, it largely consists of articles,
poetry, and political cartoons, all produced by and for African-American soldiers serving in the Vietnam era.
