To be fair many also rebelled and organised against the US war against Vietnam while stationed there or at home on US soil. One of the critical stages of the anti-war movement was the appearance of the anti-war GIs at anti-war rallies linking the armed forces and the anti-war movement. This represented one of the biggest rebellions in any armed forces since the Russian revolution and posed a real threat to the adminstration. It’s also one of the main reasons the US withdrew from Vietnam. They had to find a way to head off this movement becoming even more radical and making more links with anti-war, workers and revolutionary organising.
There is a great doco about this called Sir! No Sir! from 2004/5.
