On this episode of Hostile History, David Borys is joined by
historian Travis Salley as they explore how, during the Vietnam
War, the GI underground press became more than a voice of
dissent...it became a lifeline. These underground newspapers,
created by service personnel, created rare spaces where queer
service members could find community, share experiences, challenge
discrimination, and connect with others. This then coalesced into a
broader activist movement that challenged racism and the war
itself, revealing a hidden history of identity and resistance deep
within the U.S. military. Guest: Travis Salley Contact:
