    Zieger's thoroughly researched film is a vital reminder that beginning in the mid-'60s, a few conscience-stricken military individuals -- including dermatologist Dr. Howard Levy, sickened by cynical attempts to win Vietnamese "hearts and minds" through medical treatment, and Navy nurse Susan Schnall, who wore her uniform to a civilian antiwar demonstration -- actively and openly voiced peace sentiments.

    Sir! No Sir! is far from a dry rehashing of what may seem for some like ancient history. Driving guitar rock and lively editing add to the film's urgency. The voices of the veterans alone, however, make this an important and poignant film that can speak to any generation.

    Sir! No Sir! doesn't make a lot of sense, but it does have some fascinating footage of Jane Fonda, both as a dippy young protester and today, when she remains dazzled by her own legend.

    It is amazing to witness the intelligence, especially the capacity for critical thinking, evinced by these soldiers and to see their courage in standing up against a corrupt, lying, murderous government. We could use more people like those in the 60's anti-war movement today, both inside and outside the military. This is a wonderful, inspiring documentary about a very horrible example of U.S. imperialism and how it can be resisted.… Expand

    The documentary starts slow but captures your interest quickly. I didn't realize how big the anit-war movement was (a I was child at the time) and all the disinformation that was coming from our government. Regardless of what other reviewers say, this documentary is not about Jane Fonda. Yes, she has seuqences in the movie but remember, love her or hate her, she was part of the movement. Young people should see this movie as it may foreshawdow events concerning the Iraq war.… Expand
