Man Alive: Protest in the Ranks: 2: Resistance

on BBC Two England

Reporters Jim Douglas Henry, Jeremy James, Jeanne La Chard, Gillian Strickland,
Desmond Wilcox, Harold Williamson
In the United States, opposition to the war in Vietnam grows stronger and fiercer - has spread even among the ranks of three-and-a-half million servicemen; most of them conscripted to fight for America's least popular cause. This dissent and protest is causing deep concern in the Pentagon. The men in uniform fight the military brass on the basis of the Constitution which guarantees all citizens free speech and the right to protest. The military respond with riot control; court martials; and long sentences in hard labour prisons.
Resistance heroes emerge. Men like Captain Howard Levy, the doctor who refused to train Green Beret soldiers and was sentenced to three years' hard labour. 10 days after his release he gave his first interview, exclusively to Man Alive.
In this programme we look at the men in uniform - who are also in the resistance.
