  • Three Hundred Sixty Five Days
    Three Hundred and Sixty Five Days With Letters to Home By Paul T. Kearns INTRODUCTION What follows is a narrative of my personal experience as a helicopter pilot serving in the U.S. Army in the Republic of South Vietnam during the years 1968- 1969, and portions of my army flight training experiences prior to my combat duty service in Vietnam. It is a recollection of what I experienced then, and can recall now, some thirty five years later. History books tell the facts concerning the battles and politics of that war, what led up to it, how it was won or lost, and how it ended. My perspective, described herein, is much more limited and personal. It is my story, and to a limited degree, a story of others who shared the three hundred and sixty five day tour of duty with me. This version of my memoir has excerpts taken from personal letters I wrote to my family during this period. MY ARRIVAL The date was May 30, 1968. It had been a very long flight from McCord Air Force Base in Seattle, Washington to Cam Rahn Bay Air Force Base in South Vietnam. I was 21 years old, three weeks past my graduation from the United States Army Aviation School at Fort Rucker, Alabama. The moment that I stepped off that airplane I was the newest arrival amongst the steady stream of mostly young men going to Vietnam to join the occupational army consisting of some 500,000 Americans. I was scared, and very lonely. Almost to the day, three years earlier, I had walked down the isle at La Jolla High School in San Diego, California to receive my diploma.

  • SLOW FOOD ESL Federal Credit Union 2019-2020 Season Continues with a Crave-Able Comedy to Warm up the Winter
    Media Contact: Dawn Kellogg Communications Manager (585) 420-2059 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE GEVA’S 47TH SEASON CONTINUES WITH SLOW FOOD ESL Federal Credit Union 2019-2020 Season continues with a crave-able comedy to warm up the winter. Rochester, N.Y., December 27, 2019 – Geva Theatre Center presents Slow Food, by Wendy MacLeod and directed by Skip Greer, in the Elaine P. Wilson Stage from January 14 through February 9. Peter and Irene’s anniversary celebration in Palm Springs is off to a rocky start, but they are looking forward to a nice meal in a local restaurant. It’s just their luck to be served (or not) by a perfectionist waiter who won’t bring them their food and has them questioning everything – from their menu selections to the state of their marriage. Wendy MacLeod’s play The House of Yes became an award-winning Miramax film starring Parker Posey. Her other plays include Sin (The Goodman, Second Stage), Schoolgirl Figure (The Goodman Theatre), The Water Children and Juvenilia (Playwrights Horizons), and Things Being What They Are (Seattle Repertory Theatre, Steppenwolf Theatre). Her play Find and Sign premiered at the Pioneer Theater in Salt Lake City and her play This Flight Tonight was included in Standing On Ceremony: The Gay Marriage Plays and seen across the country and in New York City at the Minetta Lane. She was the first playwright chosen for The Writers’ Room residency at The Arden Theatre in Philadelphia, where she wrote Women in Jeopardy!, which received its premiere production at Geva Theatre Center in 2015.

  • War Markets: the Neoliberal Theory
    WAR MARKETS: THE NEOLIBERAL THEORY AND THE UNITED STATES MILITARY ___________________________________ A Thesis Presented to The College of Arts and Sciences Ohio University ____________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for Graduation with Honors in Political Science ____________________________________ by Kiersten Lynn Arnoni June 2011 This thesis has been approved by the Department of Political Science and the College of Arts and Sciences ____________________________________ Professor of Political Science ____________________________________ Dean, College of Arts and Sciences Acknowledgements I would like to thank Dr. Barry Tadlock for his support and guidance as my thesis advisor. Dr. Tadlock’s suggestions were valuable assets to this thesis. Abstract The neoliberal theory threatens permanent damage to American democracy. One guiding principle of theory is that the political marketplace is guided by market rationality. Also concentration of power resets with business and governing elites. As business norms begin to dominate politically, democratic ideals and laws equate only to tools and hurdles. Can the neoliberal theory help explain the situation of privatization and our military? Since the end of the Cold War, military size has been reduced, however, the need for military presence has not. The private war industry has begun to pick up the slack and private contractors have increased in areas needing military support. In Iraq, contractors make up the second largest contingent force, behind the U.S. military. Blackwater, or currently Xe Services LLC, is a powerful organization within the private war industry. Blackwater has accumulated over one billion dollars in contracts with the U.S. government. With the expanding use of private war contractors, their constitutionality comes into question.

  • Rehearsing the “Warrior Ethos”
    Rehearsing the “Warrior Ethos” “Theatre Immersion” and the Simulation of Theatres of War Scott Magelssen As America’s embedment in the Middle East has become increasingly entrenched, complicated, and violent, the Armed Forces are looking to theatre and performance for new counterinsur- gency strategies to keep apace with the shifting specificities of the present war.1 To pre-expose deployment-bound troops to combatants’ unconventional tactics, and to the sharp-eyed gaze of the local and international media, the Army has constructed vast simulations of wartime Iraq and Afghanistan. Termed “Theatre Immersions,”2 these sites feature entire villages—living, breath- ing environments complete with residential, government, retail, and worship districts—bustling 1. It should be said that, whereas the military uses “strategies” to denote overall plans to win a war, and “tactics” to denote the practices used in the field to implement these strategies (Mockaitis 2007b), I use these terms in the sense articulated by Michel de Certeau in The Practice of Everyday Life (1984). To paraphrase de Certeau, strategies are the methods used by those in power to rein in and police the space they control, and tactics are used by those to whom the space does not belong, but who occupy it and maneuver through its landscape, resisting or playing by its rules. In this case, the US and Coalition forces, in cooperation with the interim and permanent govern- ments, ostensibly own and control the space of Iraq, and operate strategically to maintain this control. 2. “Theater immersion rapidly builds combat-ready formations led by competent, confident leaders who see first, understand first, and act first; battleproofed soldiers inculcated with the warrior ethos man the formations.

Point BlANk: ShooTiNQ Vietnamese Women Susan JEffonds The single most popular image of women in combat available in contemporary U.S. dominant culture is that of Vietnamese women in Hollywood films about the Vietnam war. There are four general characterizations of Vietnamese women combatants1 that are specific to the issue of women and combat: one, they are single combatants: two, they do not fight by the rules of war; three, they do not accomplish large-scale missions: and four, they mutilate male bodies. As distinct from representations of men as combatants, Vietnamese women are depicted as single rather than group combatants. The saboteur in Apocalypse Now, the snipers in Full Metal Jacket and Paco’s Story, Rambo’s guide, or the NVA informant in “Tour of Duty” all fight alone.2 This is in keeping with Judith Ilicks Stiehm’s description of the general situation of women in the U.S.
