The Syrian War and the Question of an American Mutiny
The Syrian War And The Question Of An American Mutiny By Adeyinka Makinde Region: Middle East & North Africa, USA Global Research, October 11, 2016 Theme: History, US NATO War Agenda Adeyinka Makinde In-depth Report: SYRIA A recent press conference given by US Army General Mark Milley, the present serving army chief of staff reminded me of the fictional character played by Burt Lancaster in the 1964 movie ‘Seven Days in May’. That film posited the scenario of James Scott (the Lancaster character) as a Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who, disgruntled about the serving president’s perceived weakness in seeking a treaty with the Soviet Union, plots to overthrow the civilian government. ‘Seven Days in May’ was based on a book that drew its inspiration from real life American political and military figures in the early 1960s during the Cold War. At that time Right-wing, verging on fascist-leaning generals such as Army General Lyman Lemnitzer the supremo at the Pentagon and Air Force Generals Curtis LeMay and Tommy Powers dominated the Pentagon. A Major General named Edwin Walker actually tried to indoctrinate troops under his command with the teachings of the Right-wing John Birch Society. It was in the prevailing atmosphere of fervent anti-communism at the time that these generals sought to undermine and even plot to overthrow the government of President John F. Kennedy. This view was not limited to a few senators and journalists of the time. The Kremlin apparently believed this to the extent that it is claimed to have influenced Nikita Khruschev’s decision to reach the settlement that he did with Kennedy over the Cuban Missile Crisis. -
Moral Courage Intelligent Disobedience
Moral Courage and Intelligent Disobedience by Ted Thomas and Ira Chaleff he military needs men and women who have courage–the physical courage to go into battle, to overcome fear in the face of bodily injury or death, mental pain, and lifelong disabilities. Militaries run on physical courage. Without it, they run from a fight and surrender. Many Tsources quote Aristotle as saying, “Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.”1 Courage is a primary virtue, as all other virtues require it. There is another type of courage the military needs, but it is hard to measure or even define– moral courage. The following words of Robert F. Kennedy are as salient today as they were in June of 1966 when he spoke them in Cape Town, South Africa. “Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality of those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change.”2 Bravery in battle is needed, but so is the courage to stand up for what is right and against what is immoral, unethical, or illegal. A critical application of moral courage is knowing when and how to disobey–which can be thought of as intelligent disobedience. This involves an ability to work within the system to maintain standards and uphold moral values. Organizational culture and operational pressures can sometimes cause the values of people to become blurred when the mission becomes more important than virtues. -
Trump's Generals
STRATEGIC STUDIES QUARTERLY - PERSPECTIVE Trump’s Generals: A Natural Experiment in Civil-Military Relations JAMES JOYNER Abstract President Donald Trump’s filling of numerous top policy positions with active and retired officers he called “my generals” generated fears of mili- tarization of foreign policy, loss of civilian control of the military, and politicization of the military—yet also hope that they might restrain his worst impulses. Because the generals were all gone by the halfway mark of his administration, we have a natural experiment that allows us to com- pare a Trump presidency with and without retired generals serving as “adults in the room.” None of the dire predictions turned out to be quite true. While Trump repeatedly flirted with civil- military crises, they were not significantly amplified or deterred by the presence of retired generals in key roles. Further, the pattern continued in the second half of the ad- ministration when “true” civilians filled these billets. Whether longer-term damage was done, however, remains unresolved. ***** he presidency of Donald Trump served as a natural experiment, testing many of the long- debated precepts of the civil-military relations (CMR) literature. His postelection interviewing of Tmore than a half dozen recently retired four- star officers for senior posts in his administration unleashed a torrent of columns pointing to the dangers of further militarization of US foreign policy and damage to the military as a nonpartisan institution. At the same time, many argued that these men were uniquely qualified to rein in Trump’s worst pro- clivities. With Trump’s tenure over, we can begin to evaluate these claims. -

And it is a sincere pleasure for me to welcome our featured and honored guest today chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark A. Milley, United States Army. Since becoming the 20th chairman of the Joints Chiefs in 2010 General Milley has worked to realize the U.S. National Defense Strategy which prioritizes competition with China and Russia and American defense planning. Indeed, Chairman Milley has worked tirelessly with civilian and uniformed leadership towards developing the U.S. Armed Forces into a truly modern armed force capable of deterring and heading off the threats of all types that we may be facing today, including those emanating from near peer competitors that have now really pronounced once again the idea of great power competition. He simultaneously kept a close and careful eye on the perennial defense issues associated with Iran and North Korea and violent extremism in the Middle East and elsewhere. And this way General Milley's tenure has coincided with –– by any standard, could be considered a unique period in American military history. -

Photonics Research Center United States Military Academy West Point, NY 10996
UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY 25 Years of Enlightening Research 2012 Program Review Photonics Research Center United States Military Academy West Point, NY 10996 THE PHOTONICS RESEARCH CENTER Biennial Program Review 2009 – 2012 Director’s Message In May 2012, the Photonics Research Center (PRC) reached its 25th anniversary of providing service to the United States Army, doing so from newly renovated office and laboratory spaces in the Military Academy’s Science Center, which were occupied in January 2012. Established in 1987 by a memorandum of understanding between the Superintendent of the Military Academy and the Vice Chief of Staff of the Army, the PRC has three mission essential tasks: educate future Army leaders, conduct basic and applied research, and support the Army and the Department of Defense in the areas of laser and photonics technologies. This report summarizes the research and education efforts of the PRC nominally from the last report in November 2009 to October 2012, though academic years 2011 and 2012 are its focus. This report is produced in partial fulfillment of a biennial program review conducted by the Army Research Office, the Center’s principal funding agency. The personnel situation within the PRC, like that within the Army at large, has been affected by our nation’s overseas operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Several of our research faculty, both those assigned within the PRC and those assigned within Departments, have served combat deployments. West Point’s first and only Professor of Photonics, LTC John Hartke, is currently serving as the senior military advisor and team chief at the National Military Academy of Afghanistan.
