“‘I Quit!’: The Vietnam War and the Early Antiwar Activism of Master Sergeant Donald Duncan.” Revue française d’études américaines 2/147 (2016) : 100-116. (original) (raw)

The article examines the antiwar activism of Master Sergeant Donald Duncan, a former member of the Green Berets, who became a prominent critic of the Vietnam War following his combat experience. Upon returning to the U.S. in 1965, Duncan published a significant exposé in Ramparts magazine that highlighted his disillusionment with American military involvement in Vietnam, providing a personal perspective that contributed to the growth of the G.I. and veteran's antiwar movements. Duncan's transition from a staunch anti-communist to a vocal critic of U.S. foreign policy underscores the complexities of military service and its impact on soldier perspectives during the Vietnam era.
