About Us

Vietnam Veterans Against the War Anti-Imperialist (VVAWAI) is part of a network of anti-imperialist veterans who are proud of our resistance to U.S. aggression around the world. In the 1970s, to be a Vietnam veteran was to be against the war. That proud legacy must be carried forward into this new millennium. As veterans, we’ve been to the edge and have seen the viciousness of Amerikkka unmasked. We have no doubt that the bastards who sent us to war would use their nuclear arsenal, along with unspeakably cruel conventional weapons, to maintain their empire. And now, with the fascist moves of the Trump administration, do you?

VVAWAI has the following points of unity:
1) VVAWAI is an anti-imperialist organization which is open to veterans of all eras, reservists, active duty GIs and non-vet activists.
2) VVAWAI has vowed to bring the lessons paid for in blood into direct opposition to any wars or war preparations by the U.S. and all imperialist powers.
3) VVAWAI upholds all resistance to imperialist war by GIs, reservists, veterans and the anti-war/peace movement internationally.
4) Just as we upheld the righteous struggle of the people of South East Asia fighting for their liberation, we uphold the just struggles of people around the world as they fight for their liberation today.
5) As veterans, we know that racism and the subjugation of women are twin pillars of crimes against humanity. We vow to oppose these and all other forms of oppression.
