Some Paratroopers Ordered To Minneapolis Might Just Say ‘No Sir!’
Some 1,500 paratroopers from the Army’s 11th Airborne Division at Fort Wainwright are on standby for immediate deployment to Minneapolis.
Because of Veterans For Peace member Rob Molford's tenacity, a certain number of them will have seen the signs he's held every month for a year and a half and read the flyers he's passed out at base gates telling them “REFUSE ILLEGAL ORDERS. IT’S THE LAW AND OUR DUTY!”, “THE PATH TO FASCISM IS PAVED WITH ILLEGAL ORDERS!” and “SIR, NO SIR!” the title of a documentary about GIs who refused to fight in Viet Nam.
