| Company A of the 3rd Battalion, the 196th Light Brigade, refused to advance further into the Songchang Valley of Vietnam after five days of heavy casualties; their number had been reduced from 150 to 60. This was one of hundreds of mutinies among troops during the war. |  |
 | “He [President Nixon] is also carrying on the battle in the belief, or pretense, that the South Vietnamese will really be able to defend their country and our democratic objectives [sic] when we withdraw, and even his own generals don’t believe the South Vietnamese will do it.” –James Reston in the New York Times | |

Not sure where you found the picture of the group of soldiers in Viet Nam, BUT the tall guy center right with the cross is my brother in law John Hartline. I have a copy of the picture here that George brought home after his dad died.

Hi, suze! If you go to the page linked, “GI Resistance in the Vietnam War,” you can see a bigger photo, and more info. I skimmed it again, looking for “Hartline” and didn’t see it, but I could have missed it. Enjoy, if that’s appropriate!

I sent a link to my BIL and he said “hey, that’s me!”…..lol Most he said gave false ID to the photographer as they could all be discharged in a not so nice way…I asked if HE gave false id and he just sent back a laughing emoji.

Hi Suze. That is a grand coincidence that they used the photo then Ali posted it here, and you are a viewer. I love it. Hugs
