    “SERVE YOURSELF AND YOUR COUNTRY”: THE WARTIME AND HOMECOMING EXPERIENCES OF AMERICAN FEMALE MILITARY NURSES WHO SERVED IN THE VIETNAM WAR “SERVE YOURSELF AND YOUR COUNTRY”: THE WARTIME AND HOMECOMING EXPERIENCES OF AMERICAN FEMALE MILITARY NURSES WHO SERVED IN THE VIETNAM WAR By NATASHA MOULTON, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Natasha Moulton, September 2012 McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2012) Hamilton, Ontario (History) TITLE: “Serve Yourself and Your Country”: The Wartime and Homecoming Experiences of American Female Military Nurses Who Served in the Vietnam War AUTHOR: Natasha Moulton, B.A. (University of Waterloo), M.A. (University of Waterloo) SUPERVISOR: Professor S. Streeter NUMBER OF PAGES: ix, 298. ii Abstract Between 1964 and 1975, approximately 7,500 to 11,000 American military women served in the Vietnam War. They served in many roles – they worked as air traffic controllers, dieticians, physiotherapists, clerks, and cryptographers – but the bulk of American women who went to Vietnam served as military nurses with the Army, Navy, and Air Force Nurse Corps. This dissertation explores the wartime and homecoming experiences of female nurse veterans whose Vietnam experiences have been largely ignored or minimized by historical accounts of the war. By refashioning the narrative of the war to include women, this study challenges cultural constructions of war as an exclusively male sphere, and in doing so offers a more sophisticated understanding of both men’s and women’s Vietnam service. In Vietnam, American women risked their lives for their country.

  • Protecting the Mission
    © COPYRIGHT by Joshua S. Jones 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Dedicated to my family. PROTECTING THE MISSION: THE CASE OF THE U.S. ARMY BY Joshua S. Jones ABSTRACT In the literature of organizational change, scholars generally agree that organizations resist change, a phenomenon usually described as organizational inertia. Most of this literature, however, ignores the question of how such resistance to change is manifest. I seek to fill this gap by explaining the tactics that organizations use to resist change. Most of the literature on organizational change also treats resistance as a byproduct of organizational nature. In contrast, I start from the presumption that resistance can be an intentional act and not solely a passive characteristic or byproduct of organizations. In seeking to understand resistance as an intentional act, I explore the following questions: How does an organization resist the external and internal forces for change that act upon it? Are there similarities and differences to this resistance depending on whether the force is internal or external? Are organizations more or less successful in resisting internal or external forces for change? Over time, do organizations become more skilled at resisting? To answer these questions, I use the case study approach to look at the U.S. Army and its response to challenges to its sense of mission, something the literature predicts the Army should resist. More specifically, I test these hypotheses: 1) organizations employ different types of tactics of resistance depending on whether the force for change is internal or external; 2) organizations are more successful at resisting internal than external forces for change; and 3) organizations become more effective at resisting over time.

    Bowdoin College Professor Potholm Government 1028 Women at War: The Daughters of Mars Fall, 2019 20 year old Soviet sniper Roza Shanina, credited with 54 kills of German soldiers during World War II Department of Government and Legal Studies 9800 College Station • Brunswick • Maine 04011-8498 • Tel 207.725.3295 • Fax 207.725.3168 2 The Daughters of Mars: Women Warriors Any study of women at war through the ages must immediately start with the cogent judgment of Russian General Vasily Ivanovich Chuikov of the 62nd Soviet Army who, after the desperate struggle for Stalingrad during World War II, stated categorically, “Women soldiers proved themselves to be just as heroic in the days of fighting as men.” Regardless of how limited the participation of women in and leading armies has been throughout the course of human history, there is seemingly no a priori reason why they cannot be soldiers and warriors – and good ones at that – regardless of their sex. Myriads of women have already proven this, starting in pre- classical times and continuing to the present. There are – and have always been – many cultural, physical, military, and sexual arguments used by and in many different societies to oppose the participation of women in war and especially in combat. Many of these may have been good reasons in particular cultures but, on balance, none seem sufficient to refute the fact that women have been and can continue to be successful in battle. We will be examining many throughout much of the temporal and geographic range of war. At the end of the day, if we were looking at women in war strictly in terms of the Template of Mars, it would be difficult to argue with the notion of Dominique Lozzi that “Mars does not look at war through a male-centered lens, and therefore, neither should we.” From warrior queens to admirals and generals to individual soldiers, women have been in combat as active participants across vast reaches of time, space and society.

  • POST-PRESIDENTIAL PAPERS, 1961-69 1967 PRINCIPAL FILE Series
    EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: POST-PRESIDENTIAL PAPERS, 1961-69 1967 PRINCIPAL FILE Series Description This series constitutes the main office file of Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Gettysburg Office. It is divided into two subseries. The first is a forty-five box subject file arranged by categories, such as appointments, foreign affairs, gifts, invitations, messages, public relations, publications, speeches, servicemen, and trips. The second subseries is a twelve-box alphabetical file arranged by the name of the individual or organization corresponding with Eisenhower. Documentation in this series includes correspondence, memoranda, transcripts of interviews, drafts of books and articles, statements, messages, schedules, and reports. Eisenhower’s small office staff was inundated with over sixty thousand letters and cards a year. The bulk of the correspondence related to routine matters, including appointments, invitations, autograph requests, etc. General Eisenhower and Colonel Schulz developed a set of guidelines, policies, and rules which the staff followed in handling this correspondence. Autograph seekers were limited to one Eisenhower autograph. Eisenhower did not autograph books he did not write, currency, items not related to him, or likenesses of himself. The ex-president did not write forewords to books, fill out questionnaires, or agree to interviews over the telephone. He declined to comment publicly on the literary efforts of other writers. Requests for financial help were generally turned down by his staff, and most requests for personal items for charity auctions and benefits were also denied. Memberships and honorary positions in numerous organizations and projects were declined by Eisenhower, if he felt he would be unable to participate actively or at least keep informed about it.
