American Militarism in US Congress American Militarism in US Congress: Another Military Transformation from the 103rd to the 112th Congress By [Copyright 2015] KeeHyun Ahn Submitted to the graduate degree program in the Department of Political Science and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson Mark R. Joslyn ________________________________ Co-chair Michael S. Lynch ________________________________ Don Haider-Markel ________________________________ Jiso Yoon ________________________________ Adrian R. Lewis Date Defended: March 26 2015 ii The Dissertation Committee for KeeHyun Ahn certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: American Militarism in US Congress: Another Military Transformation from the 103rd to the 112th Congress ________________________________ Chairperson Mark R. Joslyn ________________________________ Co-chair Michael S. Lynch Date approved: March 26 2015 iii Abstracts The armed forces are maintained in two ways –in both the military way and the militaristic way. In this sense, every nation which has its own military has specific features of militarism, regardless of how dominant these features are over other parts of the society. The U.S. has its own type of militarism in the military and the society. In the United States, there is a belief that the US military should be number one in the world. This American public belief takes various shapes of military imperatives which connect every part of society with military and lead them to cooperate and support the realization of these imperatives. In Part I, the dissertation shows that military transformation in the post-Cold War era is an example that shows how American militarism works in American society. During this period, public opinion showed a positive and significant correlation with defense spending. Within the US military, American Militarism has led the Department of Defense and military services to the endless preparation for a future adversary in the situation of strategic uncertainty after the Cold War era. Defense related industries have strongly supported the military’s effort to be number one in military affairs. In the political arena, the congressional committee which is responsible for national defense seems inclined to be conservative in the matter of ideology – more conservative than the median in the House of Representatives. In Part II, the dissertation explores how American Militarism has influenced on the decisions of each legislator in the roll call votes on amendments regarding defense authorizations and appropriations bills. The result reveals that authorization process is more predictable than appropriation process. Furthermore, the result shows that the amount of PAC contributions to each legislator is a significant factors to determine legislators’ choices in roll call votes in authorization process even though ideological aspect of individual legislators ideology is still influential in decision making of each legislator. iv Acknowledgments When I hesitated to jump in the journey, My Lord – Jesus Christ showed me the way to go. During the journey, my wife and son – Jisun and Joonmo – always stayed with me and encouraged me. They are my great partners of the journey. We are the best team ever. My parents supported the journey and prayed for their son and his team in a long distance. In the journey, I met Great mentors. My advisor, Professor Mark Joslyn, advised me to stay positive even during the most difficult period of the journey. Professor Michael Lynch showed me where and how to explore during the journey. Professor Adrian Lewis gave me a compass to sail in the ocean of military history. Pastor Lanny Maddux did not hesitate to read all the text and gave me advices for better English writing. v Table of Contents Chapter 1.

  • House State and Local Government Committee House Bill 195 – Women Veterans’ Day Sponsor Testimony 1 MAY 2019
    House State and Local Government Committee House Bill 195 – Women Veterans’ Day Sponsor Testimony 1 MAY 2019 Chair Perales, Vice Chair Hood, and members of the House Armed Services and Veterans Affairs Committee thank you for the opportunity to testify today regarding House Bill 195. And thank you to my joint sponsor, Assistant Majority Whip Lanese, for working with me on this important piece of legislation. While President Truman signed the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act in 1948, it would be 45-years before the Pentagon, under the direction of Defense Secretary Les Aspin, would lift the ban on women serving on combat aircraft and warships in 1993. It took time for Aspin’s directive to make an impact. It wasn’t until 1998 that female fighter pilots flew into combat for the first time as part of a four- day bombing campaign on Iraq and Kathleen McGrath became the first woman to command a Navy warship. In that same year, Heather Wilson—now Secretary of the Air Force—was elected to represent New Mexico’s First Congressional District, becoming the first female military veteran to complete a full term in Congress. It was a privilege of mine to intern for her. In 2005, Leigh Ann Hester, an Army National Guard soldier would become the first woman since the end of WWII to earn the Silver Star for her service after she outmaneuvered 50-insurgent fighters in Iraq, assaulting and clearing two trenches 8-years before Secretary Leon Panetta lifted the ban on women serving in combat altogether. This is not to say the progress women veterans have made have been limited to our most recent history.

THE FACTS IN TBIS CABE On November 24, 1992, the state of Georgia held a unique runoff election for the office of United States Senator. Georgia law provided for a runoff if no candidate in the regularly scheduled November 3 general election received in excess of 50 percent of the vote. The 1992 runoff in Georg a was a hotly contested race between the Democratic incumbent Wyche Fowler, and his Republican opponent, Paul Coverdell. The Republicans presented this election as a %ust-win81 election. Exhibit 1.

How much defense is enough in the post–Cold War era?”1 Finding a satisfactory answer to these deceptively simple questions not only motivated the Bottom-Up Review but has arguably animated defense strategy for the past quarter century.

  • The Militarization of US Government Response to COVID-19 and What We Can Do About It About Face: Veterans Against the War March 23, 2020
    National Guard troops stand by as people wait to be tested for coronavirus in New Rochelle, New York, on March 13, 2020. Timothy A. Clary/AFP via Getty Images. The Militarization of US Government Response to COVID-19 and What We Can Do About It About Face: Veterans Against the War March 23, 2020 This statement was written by Drake Logan, a civilian ally to About Face, with input on content by About Face veteran members Lisa Ling, Krystal Two Bulls, Maggie Martin, Erica Manley, Shawn Fischer, Jovanni Reyes, Matt W. Howard, Derek S. Matthews, and Ramon Mejía. Editorial guidance was provided by Clare Bayard, civilian ally to About Face. Authorship is always collective. Summary: This document outlines six broad areas of current political need and opportunity as the US government ramps up the militarization of its response to the coronavirus epidemic. About Face is an organization of post-9/11 service-members and veterans who organize to end a foreign policy of permanent war and the use of military weapons, tactics, and values in communities across the United States. We present this statement in order to generate further conversation on these points both within and beyond our organization, as well as to enter the national media conversation on coronavirus response. Please reach out to About Face if you are a member or civilian who would like to be 1 involved in media work on these issues, or if you would like to help create further independent media. We need to begin by tackling these six areas of political need and opportunity in the time of coronavirus: (1) We need to engage in and spread praxes of community-based defense instead of militarized security.

  • The German Military and Hitler
    RESOURCES ON THE GERMAN MILITARY AND THE HOLOCAUST The German Military and Hitler Adolf Hitler addresses a rally of the Nazi paramilitary formation, the SA (Sturmabteilung), in 1933. By 1934, the SA had grown to nearly four million members, significantly outnumbering the 100,000 man professional army. US Holocaust Memorial Museum, courtesy of William O. McWorkman The military played an important role in Germany. It was closely identified with the essence of the nation and operated largely independent of civilian control or politics. With the 1919 Treaty of Versailles after World War I, the victorious powers attempted to undercut the basis for German militarism by imposing restrictions on the German armed forces, including limiting the army to 100,000 men, curtailing the navy, eliminating the air force, and abolishing the military training academies and the General Staff (the elite German military planning institution). On February 3, 1933, four days after being appointed chancellor, Adolf Hitler met with top military leaders to talk candidly about his plans to establish a dictatorship, rebuild the military, reclaim lost territories, and wage war. Although they shared many policy goals (including the cancellation of the Treaty of Versailles, the continued >> RESOURCES ON THE GERMAN MILITARY AND THE HOLOCAUST German Military Leadership and Hitler (continued) expansion of the German armed forces, and the destruction of the perceived communist threat both at home and abroad), many among the military leadership did not fully trust Hitler because of his radicalism and populism. In the following years, however, Hitler gradually established full authority over the military. For example, the 1934 purge of the Nazi Party paramilitary formation, the SA (Sturmabteilung), helped solidify the military’s position in the Third Reich and win the support of its leaders.

  • Cities Under Siege: the New Urban Militarism by Stephen Graham
    Stirling International Journal of Postgraduate Research 1.2 (2013) Cities under Siege: The New Urban Militarism by Stephen Graham London: Verso, 2011. 402 pp plus introduction. ISBN 978-1-84467-762-7 (pbk) £14.99 As a historian who spends far too little time focusing on the here and now, but with a strong historical interest in the use of city and space in representations of authority, I was intrigued and excited at the opportunity to read Stephen Graham’s exposé on the modern cities and new urban militarism, particularly since the back cover acclamations promised ‘a rigorously, pioneering book’. Although the book is indeed interesting and opened my eyes to a number of things, unfortunately, there are a number of disappointments in store for readers. The book is long, and with over 400 pages of text to plough through it gives the average historical monograph a run for its money, even though as an academic field we are known for weighty door-stop volumes! Graham breaks the information down into ten chapters plus an introduction and the chapters are subsequently divided into shorter, more approachable sections. The introduction gives some key features of urban militarism/ military urbanism – most useful to a more general reader – as well as a breakdown of his approach and central goal: to reconcile the current split in the study of cities, which is divided between discussions of security, international 1 Stirling International Journal of Postgraduate Research 1.2 (2013) politics, and issues of urban security, and the debates regarding the impact of change on urban life studied in geography, architecture and anthropology.
