Cole defends Viet protest
A lanky, young ex-private stood before the group of nearly 250 assorted students and faculty, prepared to defend his part in last spring's anti-war disturbance at Fort Jackson, S.C.
"The United States government can no longer say the GI's support Viet Nam," said Joe Cole, one of eight army privates given a dishonorable discharge for leading an anti-war demonstration at Fort Jackson March 20.
His speech was part of a rally sponsored by the KU Student Mobilization Committee Thursday night in Hoch Auditorium. The "White Clover," a rock band from Topeka, performed a benefit concert after Cole's talk.
Cole claimed that the "Fort Jackson 8" spent 61 days in the base stockage before going on trial.
"During this time the anti-war movement rallied around us," he said.
He said that for several years a "credibility gap has existed between the government and the American public on the administration's policy in Vietnam."
"In order to gain support," Cole said, "the government said it had the backing of servicemen and patriotic groups because it knew it had lost the students."
"Fort Jackson has proved that the government must now say the GI's have reservations about Vietnam as some are refusing to fight," he said.

Cole also mentioned racial harassment and unfair disciplinary measures as factors leading to the sentiment against army officials.
