{TEXTBOOK} Missing in Action MISSING IN ACTION PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Francis Bergèse | 48 pages | 09 Feb 2017 | CINEBOOK LTD | 9781849183437 | English | Ashford, United Kingdom Missing in Action () - IMDb Normalization of U. Considerable speculation and investigation has gone to a theory that a significant number of these men were captured as prisoners of war by Communist forces in the two countries and kept as live prisoners after the war's conclusion for the United States in Its unanimous conclusion found "no compelling evidence that proves that any American remains alive in captivity in Southeast Asia. This missing in action issue has been a highly emotional one to those involved, and is often considered the last depressing, divisive aftereffect of the Vietnam War. To skeptics, "live prisoners" is a conspiracy theory unsupported by motivation or evidence, and the foundation for a cottage industry of charlatans who have preyed upon the hopes of the families of the missing. As two skeptics wrote in , "The conspiracy myth surrounding the Americans who remained missing after Operation Homecoming in had evolved to baroque intricacy. By , there were thousands of zealots—who believed with cultlike fervor that hundreds of American POWs had been deliberately and callously abandoned in Indochina after the war, that there was a vast conspiracy within the armed forces and the executive branch—spanning five administrations—to cover up all evidence of this betrayal, and that the governments of Communist Vietnam and Laos continued to hold an unspecified number of living American POWs, despite their adamant denials of this charge. It is only hard evidence of a national disgrace: American prisoners were left behind at the end of the Vietnam War. They were abandoned because six presidents and official Washington could not admit their guilty secret. They were forgotten because the press and most Americans turned away from all things that reminded them of Vietnam. We lost several times more than the Americans did. In any war there are many people who disappear. They just disappear. As of October 16, according to the U. POWs from past wars or incidents are still being held somewhere within the borders of the former Soviet Union. Nearly 4, Pakistani men attacked the Indian side with 15 tanks and heavy artillery support. Major SPS Waraich was reported captured, as were many JCOs and men as the squadrons were taken by surprise and had little time to get to their bunkers. A Pakistani radio news telecast reported in Urdu that Maj Waraich hamari hiraasat mein hain Maj Waraich is in our custody. Their current status is unknown. They are listed as missing by the Indian Government along with 52 others including a Maj Ashok Suri who wrote a letter to his father in from Karachi stating that he was alive and well. Pakistan denies holding any of the soldiers Missing in Action. The Iran— Iraq War of — left tens of thousands of Iranian and Iraqi combatants and prisoners of war still unaccounted for. Following up on these cases is often difficult because no accurate or surviving documentation exists. The International Committee of the Red Cross ICRC has been active in trying to resolve MIA issues from the war; in October , twenty years after the end of the war, the ICRC forged a memorandum of understanding with the two countries to share information collected in pursuit of resolving cases. In Iraq, efforts are led by the Ministry of Human Rights. Michael Scott Speicher , became quite well known. In , his possible situation became a more high-profile issue in the build-up to the Iraq War ; The Washington Times ran five successive front-page articles about it in March and in September , U. President George W. Bush mentioned Speicher in a speech to the United Nations General Assembly as part of his case for war. However, despite the invasion of Iraq and U. How many Iraqi forces went missing as a result of the war is not readily known, as estimates of Iraqi casualties overall range considerably. As of OCtober 16, , according to the US Dept of Defense, the total of unaccounted for from the category of Iraqi and other conflicts is at 6.

  • Heritage Ethics and Human Rights of the Dead
    genealogy Article Heritage Ethics and Human Rights of the Dead Kelsey Perreault ID The Institute for Comparative Studies in Literature, Art, and Culture, Carleton University, Ottawa, ON K1S 5B6, Canada; [email protected] Received: 1 May 2018; Accepted: 13 July 2018; Published: 17 July 2018 Abstract: Thomas Laqueur argues that the work of the dead is carried out through the living and through those who remember, honour, and mourn. Further, he maintains that the brutal or careless disposal of the corpse “is an attack of extreme violence”. To treat the dead body as if it does not matter or as if it were ordinary organic matter would be to deny its humanity. From Laqueur’s point of view, it is inferred that the dead are believed to have rights and dignities that are upheld through the rituals, practices, and beliefs of the living. The dead have always held a place in the space of the living, whether that space has been material and visible, or intangible and out of sight. This paper considers ossuaries as a key site for investigating the relationships between the living and dead. Holding the bones of hundreds or even thousands of bodies, ossuaries represent an important tradition in the cultural history of the dead. Ossuaries are culturally constituted and have taken many forms across the globe, although this research focuses predominantly on Western European ossuary practices and North American Indigenous ossuaries. This paper will examine two case studies, the Sedlec Ossuary (Kutna Hora, Czech Republic) and Taber Hill Ossuary (Toronto, ON, Canada), to think through the rights of the dead at heritage sites.

    What are Morning Reports? Filed each morning by each company to higher headquarters, the company morning report provided a day-by-day record of unit location, activity, and changes in company personnel. That is, these reports were an “exception-based” accounting of the individuals whose duty status had changed from the previous day. Among the reasons for an individual being listed in this report were: transfer into the unit, promotion or demotion, killed or wounded (including a brief description of wounds), captured or missing in action, transfer to another unit, hospitalization, training, AWOL and desertion. Entries included the soldier’s rank, Army Serial Number, and other information. The morning report entries made extensive use of abbreviations, including the following: A Army gr grade A&D Admission & Disposition (hospital) GSW Gun-Shot Wound Abv Above hosp hospital AGF Allied Ground Forces jd joined APO Army Post Office LD Line of Duty aptd appointed LIA Lightly Injured in Action ar arrest Lv Leave of Duty AR Army Regulation LWA Lightly Injured in Action arr arrived MCO Main Civilian Occupation ASF Army Service Forces MOS Military Occupational Specialty asgd assigned NLD Not in line of duty asgmt assignment NYPE New York Port of Embarkation atchd attached par paragraph AW Articles of War Pers personnel AWOL Absent without Leave Plat or Pltn platoon Bn battalion PM Postmaster Clr Sta Clearing Station qrs quarters CM Court Martial RD Replacement Depot Conf confined Regt Regiment DB Daily Bulletin reld relieved DoP Detachment of Patients

  • Robert R. Gruwell, U.S
    SEARCHING FOR PRIVATE GRUWELL By Joe Figueiredo, Volunteer, United States Army Heritage and Education Center (USAHEC) Introduction This is a report of the research methods used in telling the story of Private (Pvt.), Robert R. Gruwell, U.S. Army paratrooper assigned to the 517th Parachute Infantry Regiment (517th PIR). This report emphasizes the holdings of the Military History Institute (MHI), and the Army Heritage Museum (AHM). MHI and the AHM are a part of the United States Army Heritage and Education Center (USAHEC). Admission to the USAHEC is free. In turn, USAHEC is a part of, but located separately from, the United States Army War College at the Carlisle Barracks in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Resources, military, governmental and civilian outside of the USAHEC have also been utilized in telling Pvt. Gruwell’s story. Pvt. Gruwell was a member of the 517th Parachute Infantry Regiment (PIR), which was a part of the 517th Parachute Regimental Combat Team (PRCT). Pvt. Gruwell was Killed in Action on August 15, 1944 during Operation Dragoon, the Invasion of Southern France. He was buried by unknown person(s) in an unknown grave and to this day, his grave has not been found. The tragic story of Pvt. Gruwell is also used as a representative example of the fate of so many American Servicemen killed in all wars. I encountered many twists, turns and dead ends in telling Pvt. Gruwell’s story due to missing and incomplete information, varying reports of the same incident and the fact that since Pvt. Gruwell was a replacement paratrooper in the 517th PIR, he never had time to make lasting friendships.

This work would have been poorer and uglier and a lot less composed if you hadn’t been here to help me direct it. Thank you. My humblest thank you to my mother, father, and sister, for their unending support and resilience in enduring an entire year of Death-Related Fun Facts (and perhaps a month of grumpiness as the deadline grew closer and greater and fiercer in the horizon). We’ve pulled through. Thank you. My clumsiest thank you to my people (aka friends), for that same aforementioned resilience, but also for the constant willingness to bear ideological arms and share my anger at the little things gone wrong. I don’t know what I would have done without the 24/7 online support group that is our friendship. Thank you. Last, but not least, my endless thank you to Professor Fernando Pedro Figueiredo and Professor Maria José Pinto da Costa, for their attention to detail during the incredible learning moment that was my thesis examination.

  • The James Ossuary: the Earliest Witness to Jesus and His Family?
    The James Ossuary: The Earliest Witness to Jesus and His Family? Joseph M. Holden, Ph.D. President, Veritas International University One of the earliest and most important discoveries relating to the historicity of Jesus and members of his family is the limestone bone-box (called an ossuary) made known to the public in October, 2002. Ossuaries were used by Israel from about the second century BC until the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70. Over ten thousand such ossuaries have been discovered but only about one hundred contain inscriptions. Of these, only two have an identification similar to the one etched in the now famous and somewhat controversial “James Ossuary.” The entire Aramaic inscription reads, “Jacob (James), son of Joseph, brother of Jesus” (Ya’akov bar Yosef akhui di Yeshua). If, in fact, the inscription in its entirety is recognized as authentic (which we believe to be the case), we have clear first-century AD testimony of Jesus, his father Joseph, and brother James. James (Ya’akov) is given in the Gospel accounts as a brother of Jesus (Mt. 13:55), but he is also one of the most important figures in the New Testament. The book of Acts reveals that he was the pastor of the Jerusalem church, moderator of the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15, and penned the epistle of James. James is also spoken of a number of times in the writings of Josephus. He was put to death by certain Jewish leaders in AD 62, so if the James Ossuary is the one in which his bones were placed, then the dating of the bone-box would be approximately AD 62-63, allowing time for the reburial of the bones after the decomposition of the flesh, according to Jewish practices.

  • Impending Defeat: Military Losses, the Wehrmacht, and Ordinary Germans
    CHAPTER ONE Impending Defeat: Military Losses, the Wehrmacht, and Ordinary Germans The onset of the postwar period coincided only in a very literal sense with the unconditional surrender of the German military on May 8, 1945. Long before the end of the war, ordinary Germans had begun to experi­ ence the consequences of defeat. The decisive defeats of the Wehrmacht on the Eastern front and in North Africa in 1942–43 not only set in motion a social transformation from “Stalingrad to the currency reform,” but also ushered in a period of “brutal peacemaking” that extended far into the postwar period.1 Impending defeat brought back to ordinary Germans the massive and unprecedented violence that they had previously meted out to the nation’s victims all over the European continent. Civilian and military casualties figures on all sides exploded during the last two years of the war. German casualties took a sudden jump with the defeat of the Sixth Army at Stalingrad in January 1943, when 180,310 soldiers were killed in one month. Among the 5.3 million Wehrmacht casualties during the Second World War, more than 80 percent died during the last two years of the war. Approximately three-quarters of these losses occurred on the Eastern front (2.7 million) and during the final stages of the war between January and May 1945 (1.2 million).2 Apart from the dramatic surge of casualty figures, Stalingrad also brought to the fore a problem that was to preoccupy Germans long after Soviet troops had raised the Red Flag on the Reichstag in May 1945: soldiers missing in action and POWs in Soviet captivity.

Ubelaker SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY NUMBER 18 SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Insti­ tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com­ mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of profes­ sional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. These publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, and other in­ terested institutions and specialists throughout the world.

METHODS Individual-level data of more than 62,000 soldiers born between 1874 and 1899 in north-eastern Italy was used. Almost 10% of these soldiers died in the war. A data set was constructed by linking two different sources, the call-up registers and the Roll of Honour of the fallen Italian soldiers of WWI. RESULTS The risk of death of soldiers in war depended partly on the soldier’s assignment to corps and partly on personal behaviour and individual characteristics.
