"LOSE IN VIETNAM, BRING THE BOYS HOME" ROBERTN. STRASSFELD. This Article examines the contest over dissent and loyalty during the Vietnam War. The Johnson and Nixon Administrations used an array of weapons to discourage or silence antiwar opposition. These included crinLinal prosecutions for "disloyal speech," a tool that they used with less frequency than s01ne other administrations in times of war; prosecutions for other "crimes" that served as pretext for prosecuting disloyal speech; infiltration and harassment; and an attempt to characterize their critics as disloyal. The antiwar movement, in turn, responded to allegations that dissent equaled disloyalty by offering an alternative vision of loyalty and patriotism. In so doing, they recast notions of allegiance, betrayal, support of the troops, and our obligations in the face of conflicting loyalties.

  • Sounding Off: Folksong, Poetry, and Other Cognitive
    SOUNDING OFF: FOLKSONG, POETRY, AND OTHER COGNITIVE DISSONANCE FROM THE AMERICAN WAR IN VIETNAM A Dissertation by MATTHEW KIRK IRWIN Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Terry H. Anderson Committee Members, David Vaught John Lenihan William Bedford Clark Head of Department, David Vaught December 2014 Major Subject: History Copyright 2014 Matthew Kirk Irwin ABSTRACT Among works treating Vietnam War history, few mention and none address extensively the folk culture that American and Vietnamese military forces produced. To bridge gaps between traditional and cultural primary sources, this study examines folk culture that the historiography has neglected: graffiti, folksongs, and poetry. Most were conceived and produced in-country, near in time to specific wartime experiences and their consequent emotions, thus lending them an emotional relevance and chronological proximity to Vietnam War history few other primary sources can boast. Graffiti, songs, and poems derived from specific historical contexts, registering social commentary and chronicling the cognitive dissonance that arose among combatants when their coveted, long-held, patriotic mythologies collided with wartime realities. These sources document the Vietnam War’s “inner-history”—the emotions, beliefs, concerns, and emotions of particular individuals, many of whom find voice virtually nowhere else in the historiographical canon. What folk culture lacks in terms of scope and scale vis-à-vis traditional sources, it abounds with in physical description, emotional narration, honesty, and transparency. Its value to historical inquiry lies in its tendency to pull no punches—ever.

  • Strategic Culture and Thailand's Response to Vietnam's Occupation of Cambodia, 1979–1989
    Strategic Culture and Thailand’s Response to Vietnam’s Occupation of Cambodia, 1979–1989 A Cold War Epilogue ✣ Gregory V. Raymond Thailand’s Cold War role is usually seen through the prism of its support for the U.S. wars in Indochina. Serving as an unsinkable aircraft carrier, Thailand hosted as many as 48,000 U.S. troops for operations in neighboring Laos and Vietnam.1 In exchange, Thailand received U.S. military assistance on a mas- sive scale. From 1951 to 1971, this assistance totaled $935 million, equivalent to 50 percent of the Thai military’s own budget for the same period.2 U.S. mil- itary aid allowed construction of a deep-water port at Sattahip and an airbase at nearby Utapao supporting B-52 missions from 1967.3 But after President Richard Nixon’s enunciation of the Guam Doctrine in 1969 and the fall of Saigon in 1975, U.S. troops departed from Thailand and Indochina. Most were gone by 1976.4 This separation was more than physical. A recently declassified intelligence assessment reveals that neighbor- ing Australia saw the United States as increasingly detached from the arena: “since the Vietnam War, the United States has not behaved as though it had any important national interest at stake in Indochina.”5 This suggests that, 1.

  • Malcolm Caldwell: Pol Pot’S Apologist
    Malcolm Caldwell: Pol Pot’s Apologist Michael Ezra I Malcolm Caldwell, Scottish Marxist academic at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London (SOAS) was born in 1931. A lifelong man of the left, he had been the Chairman of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and a long-term member of the Labour Party [1] – even standing as a Labour candidate in the 1977 local elections in Bexley, Kent. [2] He had also been selected by Bertrand Russell to be on the founding board of a radical monthly magazine The Spokesman that was supported by the Russell Foundation. [3] He was known to make some absurd and preposterous prophecies, claiming that by the 1990s there would be no oil left in the world [4] and that by the mid-1980s, Scotland would be independent of England. [5] But Caldwell was most in his element when writing about ‘the demonstrated strengths of the communist system.’ [6] With a persuasive ability, he helped to transform at least one person’s ‘anti-authoritarianism – and love of ordinary people – into a fierce and angry communism.’ [7] Whilst he ultimately became known for his support for the Communist regime in Cambodia, [8] Pol Pot was not the only despotic dictator to garner his approval. Kim Il-Sung’s North Korea, Caldwell believed, was ‘an astonishing tribute not only to the energy, initiative and creativeness of the Korean people, but also to the essential correctness of the Juche line.’ No non-’free world’ country that he had visited (including China) had ‘impressed’ him more ‘in terms of its all-round economic achievements.’ [9] On a report of a trip he made to North Korea, his astute political analysis included the observation that ‘the female military uniform is quite attractive: fitted tunic and pleated skirt.’ [10] Caldwell had gone further than vocal critics against the war in Vietnam; he wanted North Vietnam to win.
