“Read All About It!” for this issue consists of those papers put out by and for GIs.
It should be obvious from the number of papers existing, especially the ones from army bases, that the opposition within the armed services to the war and to the military has become increasingly visible in the last six months or so.
All papers are free to GIs. Donations are needed from civilians to allow the papers to continue publishing. Interested civilians should either write for subscription rates or send a large enough donation to cover mailing costs.
