AUSTIN STATE UNIVERSITY May, 2017 “I’D RATHER BE FORGOTTEN THAN DISHONORED”: AN ORAL AND LIFE HISTORY PROJECT WITH A VIETNAM VETERAN By HAYLEY MICHAEL HASIK, B.S. APPROVED: Dr. Paul J. P. Sandul, Thesis Director Dr. Philip Catton, Committee Member Dr. M. Scott Sosebee, Committee Member Dr. Dianne Dentice, Committee Member Dr. Richard Berry, D.M.A. Dean of the Graduate School ABSTRACT More than 2.7 million Americans served in the military during the Vietnam era and roughly 40,000 of them as helicopter pilots in Vietnam, yet scholars are still trying to understand the Vietnam experience. There is little doubt that the war played an influential role in the lives of that generation. Yet, many Vietnam veterans refrained from talking about their service, making it difficult to study and understand their experiences within the existing historical narrative. Using the life history of Warrant Officer James Scott, Hayley Hasik argues that Vietnam veterans—particularly helicopter pilots—are an underrepresented group that, through oral history, can provide an alternative narrative to enhance our understanding of the war and its aftereffects. Gathering primary sources and understanding how the individual fits—as an individual—into the larger historical narrative provides Vietnam veterans with a “voice” and helps give validity and meaning to the abstract. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As any graduate student can attest, the completion of a thesis or capstone project involves countless hours of research, writing, and editing, as well as a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. The following pages contain the history of a man who started as a mere acquaintance and overtime became a friend. That is what countless hours of interviews and questions can do. This project started nearly four years ago and, although extensively documented within these pages, it hardly feels complete. But that is the nature of oral history—the never-ending history. A countless number of people helped make this project possible. First, I would like to thank my advisor Dr. Paul Sandul who pushed me to think outside of my comfort zone and always had just one more question. Thank you to Drs. Phil Catton, Scott Sosebee, and Diane Dentice for serving on my committee and providing input where needed. As Sandul frequently reminded me, a good thesis is a done thesis, and I thank you all for helping me finish. To my family: thank you for putting up with all of my frantic phone calls and text messages over problems—both big and small (sometimes they felt catastrophic)—that you hardly understood. Thank you for always supporting me even if you do not completely understand the work I do or the subjects I study. And I would be remiss if I ii did not acknowledge Kimber for being a girl’s best friend and forcing me to take a break every once in a while. And finally, this project would be incomplete without a heartfelt thank you to my friends at Stephen F. Austin State University. Hannah N. Colletti, who always kept us in line; Christopher C. Cotton, for providing comic relief during hours of monotonous archival work (oh, and thanks for all the weather reports!); Shelby D. DeWitt and Laura J. Turner for their endless sarcasm and listening patiently to my whining; Jim S. Stingley, for his incessant questions and spot-on Dr. Steve Taaffe impersonation; and Kurt A. Terry, my thesis buddy, sounding board, and coconspirator. Thank you all for being in the right place at the right time.

Trump signed into law S. 305, the “Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act of 2017,” which declared March 29, National Vietnam War Veterans Day. This act passed nearly fifty-three years after the Gulf of Tonkin “incident,” forty-nine years after the Tet Offensive, forty-four years after United States troops withdrew from Vietnam, and forty-two years after the fall of Saigon. Yet, this particular law does nothing more than “encourage the display of the flag of the United States on National Vietnam War Veterans Day.”1 No discussions about the war and its aftermath are to take place. No efforts are made to seek out veterans so as to understand better their experiences and thoughts about the war that, for many

    Kate Bornstein: A Transgender Transsexual Postm odern Tiresias From Shannon Bell Gender School "Sex is fucking, everything else is gender" Kate told us on the first day of gender school: a four part, sixteen hour Cross-Gendered Perform ance Workshop which was part of Buddies in Bad Tim es Theatre sum m er school program . Kate is a Buddhist M-to-F transsexual perform ance artist and gender educator. Kate has been both m ale and fem ale and now is not one nor the other, but both-and-neither, as indicated in the title of her play The Opposite Sex...is Neither! The Cross-Gender W orkshop aim ed at deconstructing gender: shedding gender, trying on a new gender; getting to zero point and then construct ing a new gender. The first section of the workshop dealt with gender theory and learning how to build gender cues: physical cues - body, posture, hair, clothing, voice, skin, m ovem ent, space, weight; behavioral cues - m anners, decorum , protocol, deportm ent; textual cues - stories, histories, associates, relationships; power dynam ics - top, bottom , entitlem ent/ not; and sexual orientation (to whom am I attracted). This w as preparation for constructing a character which we would work on perform ing for the following three sessions. At the final class we did a one hour Zen walk across the theatre stage. For the first half-hour of the walk we shed all our acquired gender characteristics; for t he second half we took on our character's gender traits. The only constraint on selecting a character was that it be som e version of the opposite gender.

  • New Queer Cinema, a 25-Film Series Commemorating the 20Th Anniversary of the Watershed Year for New Queer Cinema, Oct 9 & 11—16
    BAMcinématek presents Born in Flames: New Queer Cinema, a 25-film series commemorating the 20th anniversary of the watershed year for New Queer Cinema, Oct 9 & 11—16 The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Brooklyn, NY/Sep 14, 2012—From Tuesday, October 9 through Tuesday, October 16, BAMcinématek presents Born in Flames: New Queer Cinema, a series commemorating the 20th anniversary of the term ―New Queer Cinema‖ and coinciding with LGBT History Month. A loosely defined subset of the independent film zeitgeist of the early 1990s, New Queer Cinema saw a number of openly gay artists break out with films that vented anger over homophobic policies of the Reagan and Thatcher governments and the grim realities of the AIDS epidemic with aesthetically and politically radical images of gay life. This primer of new queer classics includes more than two dozen LGBT-themed features and short films, including important early works by directors Todd Haynes, Gus Van Sant, and Gregg Araki, and experimental filmmakers Peggy Ahwesh, Luther Price, and Isaac Julien. New Queer Cinema was first named and defined 20 years ago in a brief but influential article in Sight & Sound by critic B. Ruby Rich, who noted a confluence of gay-oriented films among the most acclaimed entries in the Sundance, Toronto, and New Directors/New Films festivals of 1991 and 1992. Rich called it ―Homo Pomo,‖ a self-aware style defined by ―appropriation and pastiche, irony, as well as a reworking of history with social constructionism very much in mind . irreverent, energetic, alternately minimalist and excessive.‖ The most prominent of the films Rich catalogued were Tom Kalin’s Leopold and Loeb story Swoon (the subject of a 20th anniversary BAMcinématek tribute on September 13) and Haynes’ Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner Poison (1991—Oct 12), an unpolished but complex triptych of unrelated, stylistically diverse, Jean Genet-inspired stories.

Previously, a police inves­ tigation of murders in the capital led to the following remar­ kable conclusion: "The amount of offences f taking place in a homosexual context, is conspicuous. Almost each case concerns elder­ ly homosexuals murdered from motives of robbery and extortion by persons invited into their homes.

  • Formations of Masculinities in Vietnam War Fiction and Film
    PRISONERS OF WAR: FORMATIONS OF MASCULINITIES IN VIETNAM WAR FICTION AND FILM DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Brenda M. Boyle, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Debra Moddelmog, Advisor Professor John Hellmann Advisor Professor Linda Mizejewski Department of English ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that the Vietnam War and social movements of the time altered the way Americans conceive of masculinity, an alteration represented in some narratives of the War. Decades after the conclusion of American involvement in Vietnam, this revision of the social gender script is still evident in narratives that are not always directly concerned with the War. This new discourse of masculinities appears in narratives not only fictional, but also in memoirs, films, and recruiting advertisements, suggesting that what Lauren Berlant calls the “National Symbolic,” or the framework through which Americans constitute themselves as Americans, has adjusted along the following lines. First, the era made it imperative to imagine a plurality of masculinities, determining that a single model of masculine gender to which men should aspire might not be desirable and probably never was possible. This explains, among other things, the disenchantment repeatedly expressed by soldiers in the narratives with the John Wayne-model of masculinity displayed in so many World War II movies, and the subsequent need to devise new forms of masculinity that would suit the particularities of the Vietnam War. In pluralizing masculinity, the narratives propose that gender is performative, amorphous, and historically contingent, often concluding that masculinities may not be reserved only for males, but that females also may choose to enact masculinity.
