REAL WAR STORIES COMIC BOOK PEACE MOVEMENT CITIZEN SOLDIER BILL SIENKIEWICZ CCCO
REAL WAR STORIES COMIC BOOK! CITIZEN SOLDIER
RARE and OUT OF PRINT. HARD TO FIND COLLECTORS ITEM
The Department of Defense tried to stop the distribution of Real War Stories, published on behalf of the Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors. The second issue highlighted the work of Citizen Soldier, an organization dedicated to protecting the civil and human rights of its GI/veteran members.
The Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors (CCC0) is in the business of peacemaking. It provides essential information for young men and women who become conscientious objectors after enlisting in the armed services, and it serves as a resource center for young men who may have moral reservations about registering with Selective Service. The CCC0 also collaborates with other organizations to encourage nonviolence as an alternative to military confrontations.
The comic focuses on brutality and abuses within the US military; hazing, reckless training, needless exposure to hazardous materials, abandonment of veterans, deceptive recruitment practices, the military's lack of accountability, and more.
