Rodney W. of Boston
says that the great military resistance slogan from the end of WW2
was "Send Our Ships!" chanted by GI's in the Philippines who started
the S.O.S. (Send Our Ships) movement, rallying to be sent home
instead of getting used for anticommunist campaigns; in the course of
the movement, riots broke out, and officers' clubs and barracks were
ransacked and torched -- then, GIs got their ships and got to go home!
