  • Going Nuts in the Nutmeg State?
    Going Nuts in the Nutmeg State? A Thesis Presented to The Division of History and Social Sciences Reed College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts Daniel Krantz Toffey May 2007 Approved for the Division (Political Science) Paul Gronke Acknowledgements Acknowledgements make me a bit uneasy, considering that nothing is done in isolation, and that there are no doubt dozens—perhaps hundreds—of people responsible for instilling within me the capability and fortitude to complete this thesis. Nonetheless, there are a few people that stand out as having a direct and substantial impact, and those few deserve to be acknowledged. First and foremost, I thank my parents for giving me the incredible opportunity to attend Reed, even in the face of staggering tuition, and an uncertain future—your generosity knows no bounds (I think this thesis comes out to about $1,000 a page.) I’d also like to thank my academic and thesis advisor, Paul Gronke, for orienting me towards new horizons of academic inquiry, and for the occasional swift kick in the pants when I needed it. In addition, my first reader, Tamara Metz was responsible for pulling my head out of the data, and helping me to consider the “big picture” of what I was attempting to accomplish. I also owe a debt of gratitude to the Charles McKinley Fund for providing access to the Cooperative Congressional Elections Study, which added considerable depth to my analyses, and to the Fautz-Ducey Public Policy fellowship, which made possible the opportunity that inspired this work.

  • Political Soldiers: Sources of Iraq War Veteran Support and Opposition to War
    Political Soldiers: Sources of Iraq War Veteran Support and Opposition to War by David Flores A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Sociology) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Professor Howard A. Kimeldorf, Chair Professor David G. Winter Professor Alford A. Young Jr. Associate Professor Anthony S. Chen, Northwestern University David Flores © 2012 All Rights Reserved To Ceciclê, and in memory of my mother Estela ii Acknowledgements It is a pleasure to thank those who made this dissertation possible. First, this study would not have happened without the time and effort of Iraq War veterans who volunteered to share their personal experiences of warfare and political activism. Both members of Vets for Freedom and Iraq Veterans Against the War welcomed me into their respective communities as a fellow vet even though I left the military in 2000 and did not participate in the Iraq War. I have worked tirelessly to stay true to their stories and hope that they find this dissertation representative of their views. This intellectual journey began when I met David Ramirez, my counselor at Southwestern Community College who recognized my potential as a scholar from the moment that I walked into his office. He introduced me to research universities and changed the trajectory of my future. Maria Lucero Padilla and Dr. Harold Campbell in the Student Support Service office at the University of California at Berkeley. Maria understands the trials and tribulations of first generation students, but more importantly, she knows how to inspire us to thrive.

INTRODUCTION We resent very deeply the false war crimes charges [Senator John Kerry] made coming back from Vietnam [in 1971 and repeated in the book Tour of Duty.] [W]e think those have cast aspersion on [American veterans] both living and dead. We think that they are unsupportable. We intend to bring the truth to the American people. We believe that based on our experience with him, he is totally unfit to be commander in chief.1 ¶1 In 2004, U.S. Senator John Kerry was defeated by incumbent George W. Bush in the race for the United States presidency by a margin of less than 2.5% of the popular vote.2 Political pundits have offered numerous explanations for Kerry’s defeat: his alleged flip-flopping on the Iraq War, his perceived lofty New England intellectualism, and his reported lack of appeal to the influential Evangelical Christians on morality issues.3 One of the most widely recognized reasons for Kerry’s 2004 loss, however, credits the involvement of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth (Swift Boaters).

Templeton Jr. 1940-2015 About the Foreign Policy Research Institute The Foreign Policy Research Institute was founded in Philadelphia in 1955 by Robert Strausz- Hupé on the premise that a nation must think before it acts. Thus, FPRI brings the insights of scholarship to bear on the development of policies that advance US national interests. Strausz- Hupé is credited with introducing “geopolitics” into the American vocabulary with the publication in 1942 of his book Geopolitics: The Struggle for Space and Power. Simply put, geopolitics offers a perspective on contemporary international affairs that is anchored in the study of history, geography and culture, or, as FPRI’s James Kurth has put it, in the study of the “realities and mentalities of the localities.” Strausz-Hupé embedded that perspective in FPRI and it remains today our method or, to use the contemporary lingo, our “brand.” With the world in such turmoil, that mission and method have never been more needed than they are today. About FPRI’s Program on National Security More than a decade after the 9/11 attacks the world remains a complicated and dangerous place. The crises in Syria and Iraq and Ukraine are clearly destabilizing and China’s actions in the South and East China Seas have potentially deleterious consequences for Asian regional security.

Unlike VoteVets, Vets for Freedom, headed shortly after its founding by Army Veteran Pete Hegseth, argued that the war in Iraq was necessary and that a surge of troops would win the conflict decisively. VoteVets argued that the war in Iraq was not wise to launch and that a surge of troops would merely keep the cork on the bottle until we left (something that we today know is true, with the rise of ISIS and raging sectarian violence). Pete and I were frequently pitted against each other on television. The debates, while often very heated and with a lot of yelling over each other, were honest. Pete didn’t hide the fact that he was there to advocate for neoconservatives, and I was honest about representing those opposed to their worldview as it pertained to the use of our military. After Vets for Freedom folded, and after having run unsuccessfully for Senate as a Republican, Pete Hegseth got bankrolled by the Koch brothers to start up a new group, Concerned Veterans for America. Behind closed doors, as you’ll see in the attached report, Pete is quite honest about the fact that the Koch organization “literally created” the group that he heads.
