A group of entrepreneurs managed to stay half a year after recruiting people for the Vietnam War

55
years ago

25 May 1969,

A group of activists managed to stop recruiting people for the Vietnam war for half a year. At 2:00 a.m. they entered the Chicago recruitment office, collected chips from 50,000 men, took them out into the street and burned everyone. Among these activists, known as the Chicago 15, were two Catholic priests. At the end of the action they did not escape and the firefighters and police stayed waiting. After two and a half years in prison, recruitment was stopped for six months for all lost information.
