Lou Simon, Mike Powers, and Jerry Condon, members of the American Deserter Committee (ADC), each discuss their decision to flee from serving in Vietnam War, how they came to make the decision, and how they feel about the decision based on their present life in Sweden. Before deserting, Simon went through basic training, Condon went to university for a year, studying to be a special forces medic, and Powers was socially active, and never registered for the draft. Each gives their philosophy and moral viewpoint and how it’s developed. Topics discussed: The effects of Communism, the Japanese antiwar movement, Sweden’s policies on deserters, the Springfield 3, political persecution in the US, international law, and housing programs for deserters.
Cuts out (only seconds of time) not particularly bothersome or detrimental to the coherence of the material.
