A popular sentiment shared by those both in and not in the army during the Vietnam war. Country Joe McDonald of “Look’s Like I’m Fixin’ To Die Rag” fame, took an anti-war show named “FTA!” on the road to GI coffee houses in 1971.- “And what does FTA stand for, Specialist?” * * * He seemed embarrassed. “The initials stand for ‘Fuck the Army.’” — Thomas Doulis, Paths for our Valor, p. 36, 1962
- — Carl Fleischhauer, A Glossary of Army Slang, p. 20, 1968
- The slogan is FTA, which means Fuck the Army. — Ward Just, Military Men, p. 67, 1970
- — Linda Reinberg, In the Field, p. 89, 1991
- Typical of the military resistance, the meaning was reversed to “free” or “fuck the Army.” FTA became one of the most common slogans expressing soldier discontent. — Richard Moser, The New Winter Soldiers, p. 87, 1996
