  • 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.

TilE VIETNAM WAR ON TRIAL: TilE COURT-MARTIAL OF DR. HOWARD B. LEVY ROBERT N. STRASSFELD• This Article examines the history of a Vietnam War-era case: the court-martial of Dr. Howard B. Levy. The U.S. Army court-martialled Dr. Levy for refusing to teach medicine to Green Beret soldiers and for criticizing both the Green Berets and American involvement in Vietnam. Although the Supreme Court eventually upheld Levy's convicti on in Parkerv. Levy, ill decision obscures the political content of Levy's court-martial and its relationshipto the war. At the court-martialLe vy sought to defend himself by showing that his disparaging remarks about the Green Berets, identifying them as "killers of peasants and murderers of women and children," were true and that his refusal to teach medicine to Green Beret soldiers was dictated by medical ethics, given the ways in which the soldiers would misuse their medical knowledge.

  • 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.

  • Anatomy of a Civil War
    Revised Pages Anatomy of a Civil War Anatomy of a Civil War demonstrates the destructive nature of war, rang- ing from the physical destruction to a range of psychosocial problems to the detrimental effects on the environment. Despite such horrific aspects of war, evidence suggests that civil war is likely to generate multilayered outcomes. To examine the transformative aspects of civil war, Mehmet Gurses draws on an original survey conducted in Turkey, where a Kurdish armed group, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), has been waging an intermittent insurgency for Kurdish self- rule since 1984. Findings from a probability sample of 2,100 individuals randomly selected from three major Kurdish- populated provinces in the eastern part of Turkey, coupled with insights from face-to- face in- depth inter- views with dozens of individuals affected by violence, provide evidence for the multifaceted nature of exposure to violence during civil war. Just as the destructive nature of war manifests itself in various forms and shapes, wartime experiences can engender positive attitudes toward women, create a culture of political activism, and develop secular values at the individual level. Nonetheless, changes in gender relations and the rise of a secular political culture appear to be primarily shaped by wartime experiences interacting with insurgent ideology. Mehmet Gurses is Associate Professor of Political Science at Florida Atlantic University.
