Vietnam Veterans Against The War Anti-Imperialist
Vietnam Veterans Against the War Anti-Imperialist (VVAWAI) is a small group based in Seattle, Washington claiming to be one of two groups formed after the split of Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW). VVAW, Inc is the other. The VVAW, Inc web site originally described VVAWAI as "the creation of an obscure, ultra-left sect called the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP) ... designed to pimp off of VVAW's history of struggle" and currently uses a modified version of that description omitting reference to the Revolutionary Communist Party. VVAWAI states they have no affiliation with the current VVAW, Inc, but shares the legacy of the original VVAW.
