As a result, France is replacing Canada as the favorite refuge for young men from the U.S. who refuse to fight, and the rate of desertion from U.S. forces stationed in Europe has taken a dramatic upward turn. Wherever Americans travel in Western Europe, they are likely to come across leaflets addressed to soldiers and tourists and urging protest against Washington's Vietnamese policy.
