__ Burial at Sea” by LtCol George Goodson, USMC (Ret) __

__ It was late 1967. I had just returned after 18 months in Vietnam. Casualties were increasing. I moved my family from Indianapolis to Norfolk, rented a house, enrolled my children in their fifth or sixth new school, and bought a second car. __

__ A week later, I put on my uniform and drove 10 miles to Little Creek, Virginia. I hesitated before entering my new office. Appearance is important to career Marines. I was no longer, if ever, a poster Marine. I had returned from my third tour in Vietnam only 30 days before. At 5’9″, I now weighed 128 pounds – 37 pounds below my normal weight. My uniforms fit ludicrously, my skin was yellow from malaria medication, and I think I had a twitch or two. __

__ I straightened my shoulders, walked into the office, looked at the nameplate on a Staff Sergeant’s desk and said, “Sergeant Jolly, I’m Lieutenant Colonel Goodson. Here are my orders and my Qualification Jacket.” __

__ Jolly said, “Colonel, I’ll show you to your office and bring in the Sergeant Major. I said, “No, let’s just go straight to his office.” __

__ Jolly nodded, hesitated, and lowered his voice, “Colonel, the Sergeant Major. He’s been in this #^&^%$ job two years. He’s packed pretty tight. I’m worried about him.” I nodded. __

__ Jolly escorted me into the Sergeant Major’s office. “Sergeant Major, this is Colonel Goodson, the new Commanding Office. The Sergeant Major stood, extended his hand and said, “Good to see you again, Colonel.” I responded, “Hello Walt, how are you?” Jolly looked at me, raised an eyebrow, walked out, and closed the door. __

__ I sat down with the Sergeant Major. We had the obligatory cup of coffee and talked about mutual acquaintances. Walt’s stress was palpable. __

__ Finally, I said, “Walt, what’s wrong?” He turned his chair, looked out the window and said, “George, you’re going to wish you were back in Nam before you leave here.. I’ve been in the Marine Corps since 1939. I was in the Pacific 36 months, Korea for 14 months, and Vietnam for 12 months. Now I come here to bury these kids. I’m putting my letter in. I can’t take it anymore.” I said, “OK Walt. If that’s what you want, I’ll endorse your request for retirement and do what I can to push it through Headquarters Marine Corps.” __

__ Sergeant Major Walt retired 12 weeks later. He had been a good Marine for 28 years, but he had seen too much death and too much suffering. He was used up. __

__ Over the next 16 months, I made 28 death notifications, conducted 28 military funerals, and made 30 notifications to the families of Marines that were severely wounded or missing in action. Most of the details of those casualty notifications have now, thankfully, faded from memory. Four, however, remain.MY FIRST NOTIFICATION My third or fourth day in Norfolk, I was notified of the death of a 19 year old Marine. This notification came by telephone from Headquarters Marine Corps. The information detailed: __

__ *Name, rank, and serial number. __

__ *Name, address, and phone number of next of kin. __

__ *Date of and limited details about the Marine’s death. __

__ *Approximate date the body would arrive at the Norfolk Naval Air Station. __

__ *A strong recommendation on whether the casket should be opened or closed. __

__ The boy’s family lived over the border in North Carolina, about 60 miles away. I drove there in a Marine Corps staff car. Crossing the state line into North Carolina, I stopped at a small country store / service station / Post Office. I went in to ask directions. __

__ Three people were in the store. A man and woman approached the small Post Office window. The man held a package. The Storeowner walked up and addressed them by name, “Hello John. Good morning Mrs. Cooper.” __

__ I was stunned. My casualty’s next-of-kin’s name was John Cooper !I hesitated, then stepped forward and said, “I beg your pardon. Are you Mr. and Mrs. John Copper of (address.) __

__ The father looked at me-I was in uniform – and then, shaking, bent at the waist, he vomited. His wife looked horrified at him and then at me. __

__ Understanding came into her eyes and she collapsed in slow motion. I think I caught her before she hit the floor. __

__ The owner took a bottle of whiskey out of a drawer and handed it to Mr. Cooper who drank. I answered their questions for a few minutes. Then I drove them home in my staff car. The storeowner locked the store and followed in their truck. We stayed an hour or so until the family began arriving. __

__ I returned the storeowner to his business. He thanked me and said, “Mister, I wouldn’t have your job for a million dollars.” I shook his hand and said; “Neither would I.”I vaguely remember the drive back to Norfolk. I drove the staff car straight to my house. I sat with my family while they ate dinner, went into the den, closed the door, and sat there all night, alone. __

__ My Marines steered clear of me for days. I had made my first death notification. __

__ THE FUNERALS Weeks passed with more notifications and more funerals.. I borrowed Marines from the local Marine Corps Reserve and taught them to conduct a military funeral: how to carry a casket, how to fire the volleys and how to fold the flag. __

__ When I presented the flag to the mother, wife, or father, I always said, “All Marines share in your grief.” I had been instructed to say, “On behalf of a grateful nation.” I didn’t think the nation was grateful, so I didn’t say that. __

__ Sometimes, my emotions got the best of me and I couldn’t speak. When that happened, I just handed them the flag and touched a shoulder. __

__ They would look at me and nod. Once a mother said to me, “I’m so sorry you have this terrible job.” My eyes filled with tears and I leaned over and kissed her. __

__ ANOTHER NOTIFICATION Six weeks after my first notification, I had another. This was a young PFC. I drove to his mother’s house. As always, I was in uniform and driving a Marine Corps staff car. I parked in front of the house, took a deep breath, and walked towards the house. Suddenly the door flew open, a middle-aged woman rushed out. She looked at me and ran across the yard, screaming “NO! NO! NO! NO!” __

__ I hesitated. Neighbors came out. I ran to her, grabbed her, and whispered stupid things to reassure her. She collapsed. I picked her up and carried her into the house. Eight or nine neighbors followed. Ten or fifteen later, the father came in followed by ambulance personnel. I have no recollection of leaving. __

__ The funeral took place about two weeks later. We went through the drill. The mother never looked at me. The father looked at me once and shook his head sadly. __

__ Months passed. More notifications and more funerals. Then one day while I was running, Sergeant Jolly stepped outside the building and gave a loud whistle, two fingers in his mouth…. I never could do that… and held an imaginary phone to his ear. Another call from Headquarters Marine Corps. I took notes, said, “Got it.” and hung up. I had stopped saying “Thank You” long ago. __

__ Jolly, “Where?” __

__ Me, “Eastern Shore of Maryland. The father is a retired Chief Petty Officer. His brother will accompany the body back from Vietnam .” __

__ Jolly shook his head slowly, straightened, and then said, “This time of day, it’ll take three hours to get there and back. I’ll call the Naval Air Station and borrow a helicopter. And I’ll have Captain Tolliver get one of his men to meet you and drive you to the Chief’s home.” __

__ He did, and 40 minutes later, I was knocking on the father’s door. He opened the door, looked at me, then looked at the Marine standing at parade rest beside the car, and asked, “Which one of my boys was it, Colonel?” __

__ I stayed a couple of hours, gave him all the information, my office and home phone number and told him to call me, anytime. __

__ He called me that evening about 2300 (11:00PM). “I’ve gone through my boy’s papers and found his will. He asked to be buried at sea. Can you make that happen?” I said, “Yes I can, Chief. I can and I will.” __

__ My wife who had been listening said, “Can you do that?” I told her, “I have no idea. But I’m going to break my $@# trying.” __

__ I called Lieutenant General Alpha Bowser, Commanding General, Fleet Marine Force Atlantic, at home about 2330, explained the situation, and asked, “General, can you get me a quick appointment with the Admiral at Atlantic Fleet Headquarters?” General Bowser said,” George, you be there tomorrow at 0900. He will see you. __

__ I was and the Admiral did.. He said coldly, “How can the Navy help the Marine Corps, Colonel.” I told him the story. He turned to his Chief of Staff and said, “Which is the sharpest destroyer in port?” The Chief of Staff responded with a name. __

__ The Admiral called the ship, “Captain, you’re going to do a burial at sea. You’ll report to a Marine Lieutenant Colonel Goodson until this mission is completed.”He hung up, looked at me, and said, “The next time you need a ship, Colonel, call me. You don’t have to sic Al Bowser on my #$%.” I responded, “Aye Aye, Sir” and got the $%^# out of his office. __

__ I went to the ship and met with the Captain, Executive Officer, and the Senior Chief. Sergeant Jolly and I trained the ship’s crew for four days. Then Jolly raised a question none of us had thought of. He said, “These government caskets are air tight. How do we keep it from floating?” __

__ All the high priced help including me sat there looking dumb. Then the Senior Chief stood and said, “Come on Jolly. I know a bar where the retired guys from World War II hang out.”They returned a couple of hours later, slightly the worst for wear, and said, “It’s simple; we cut four 12″ holes in the outer shell of the casket on each side and insert 300 lbs of lead in the foot end of the casket. We can handle that, no sweat.” __

__ The day arrived. The ship and the sailors looked razor sharp. General Bowser, the Admiral, a US Senator, and a Navy Band were on board. The sealed casket was brought aboard and taken below for modification. The ship got underway to the 12-fathom depth. __

__ The sun was hot. The ocean flat. The casket was brought aft and placed on a catafalque. The Chaplin spoke. The volleys were fired. The flag was removed, folded, and I gave it to the father. The band played “Eternal Father Strong to Save.” The casket was raised slightly at the head and it slid into the sea. __

__ The heavy casket plunged straight down about six feet. The incoming water collided with the air pockets in the outer shell. The casket stopped abruptly, rose straight out of the water about three feet, stopped, and slowly slipped back into the sea. The air bubbles rising from the sinking casket sparkled in the in the sunlight as the casket disappeared from sight forever. __

__ The next morning I called a personal friend, Lieutenant General Oscar Peatross, at Headquarters Marine Corps and said, “General, get me the $#@! out of here. I can’t take this %^&* anymore.” I was transferred two weeks later. __

__ I was a good Marine but, after 17 years, I had seen too much death and too much suffering. I was used up.Vacating the house, my family and I drove to the office in a two-car convoy. I said my goodbyes. Sergeant Jolly walked out with me. He waved at my family, looked at me with tears in his eyes, came to attention, saluted, and said, “Well Done, Colonel. Well Done.” __

__ A Time to FightPreview Chapter Fourteen of Jim Webb's New Book __

__ WHAT THEN MUST WE DO?Excerpted from A Time to Fight (Broadway Books, 2008) __

__ On June 5, 1968, I had the honor of raising my right hand and taking the oath of office as a second lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps. Thus began a professional journey that I then believed would result in a career of service to our country in the profession of arms. Forty years have flown relentlessly by since that day, filled with unpredicted challenges and unplanned detours. I have often been surprised by this twist of fate or that, and have met my share of frustrations and disappointments. On the other hand, I have never been bored. While not exactly turbulent, my journey has encountered more than a few bumps along the road, and it has never reached what the social scientists might call stasis, either. __

__ Personal and professional markers have dotted the varied highways of my life as those years unfurled: relationships begun and lost and others begun again, children born in three different decades, and an assortment of career endeavors connected not by logic so much as by an insatiable intellectual curiosity and a willingness to take a risk. And this must be said: I know and appreciate that I have been blessed. I have a tendency to mistrust politicians who flaunt their religious views. In the Book of Matthew it is told that when you pray, you should go into the closet and close the door, then pray to your Father in secret. I do so, regularly. My faith is deeply important to me, and not a night goes by that I don’t give thanks for the life I have been called upon to live. I could never have foreseen it all those years ago, but I know what i t ’s like to write a book and have it make the bestseller lists, to go to the premiere of my own movie, and to give a speech accepting an Emmy Award for my television reporting. I also know how it feels to walk inside the White House and meet with the President and his key national security leaders. I have had the privilege of working as a full committee counsel in the House of Representatives, preparing legislation and moving it through the Congress, and of debating serious national issues on the Senate floor. I have met daily with, and been a key aide to, the Secretary of Defense. I have run the Department of the Navy. I have spent time with many foreign leaders, both as a journalist and as a government official. __

__ And yet while doing such things, I can never shake the memories of how it feels to be on the outside looking in. I remember what it was like to be viewed as second-rate by other students as I sat impatiently through “dummy English” classes in high school. I have spent long months leading combat patrols into the looming unknown of sweltering tropical battlefields. I have worked alone day after day, writing my first novel (Fields of Fire) seven times from cover to cover on the mere gamble that I might, somehow, one day find a publisher. I have traveled hundreds of times unprotected and unattended in xichlo pedicabs as they made their way along pocked, litter-strewn streets, past carefully watching faces, into the farthest alleyways of Southeast Asia’s slums. __

__ My professional career began with an oath to protect the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, at a time when the country was riven by both external and internal conflict. It would be an understatement to say that 1968 was a tumultuous year. Only hours before our Naval Academy class gathered at the Navy–Marine Corps stadium for the long-awaited graduation ceremony, Senator Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated in Los Angeles. Only two months earlier, on April 4, Martin Luther King Jr. had been gunned down in Memphis, Tennessee. Just four months before our graduation, at the end of January and throughout much of February, the Communists’ all-out Tet Offensive had brought the bloodiest fighting of the Vietnam War, leading President Lyndon Johnson to decide against running for reelection. Beginning in earnest the year before, but increasingly after the Martin Luther King assassination, the African American sections in many of America’s cities had erupted in frequent violence, with much of our nation’s capital itself occupied by National Guard troops. And later that summer, the news coverage of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago would be dominated by footage of the clashes between provocative antiwar organizers and heavy-handed members of the Chicago police. __

__ The United States of 2008 is also a troubled and divided place, in a quieter but, to me, a more deeply disturbing way. Oddly, as I have outlined on these pages, one of our greatest difficulties today is in bringing the problems that most threaten our future out into the open so that they can be honestly debated. Issues such as economic fairness, fundamental social justice, the long-term strategic direction of the c o u n t r y, and the hardening of American society along class lines rarely make it onto the Senate floor, much less into the arena of the national political debate. It often occurs to me that, although the country was in far greater overt turmoil in 1968, the premises on which our society was founded were never really in true doubt. In 1968, the idea that our problems were eventually solvable was not in serious question, at least for most Americans. It is actually harder to make that case in 2008. __

__ But 1968 was indeed a bloody, tumultuous year. And for those of us who stepped forward to serve, it marked the beginning of more than a decade of internal turmoil, confrontation over our service, accusations of having participated in an immoral, unjust war, and, for some, a gnawing self-doubt. Ironically, the end result for me and many others was that we learned to love our country even more deeply for all its flaws and public flagellations, because we were required to reconsider the beliefs and values that had once been handed to us as our natural legacy, indeed as a birthright. For years it was argued in the open arena of public debate that our very system was incurably flawed, but few of us agreed. And so we went through the intellectual challenge of justifying America’s uniqueness on fresh grounds. This caused us to believe all the more strongly that America was at bottom a fair and splendid place; that it was the moral beacon for the world; that for all our problems we had the will to solve them, the patience to undergo the painful debates that might identify solutions, and the constitutional system that would provide for remedies and thus hold together the loyalties of our people. __

__ I have precious few good memories of 1968 or of the years that immediately followed. But I did learn some invaluable lessons. And those lessons are capable of being applied to the challenges we face today. __

__ As the turmoil of the antiwar and civil rights rebellions swept the nation, for those of us serving in the United States military the issues were, as they have always been, more simple and direct, and in a sense also more personally urgent. Those who were not wearing the uniform enjoyed a luxury that we ourselves could not indulge in. Despite the urgency that many of them felt, they could disengage themselves from the debate if the notion struck them. They could argue; they could protest; and they could march. Then, if they so chose, they could go home, or back to school, or decide to focus on other matters. Ours was a more restrictive world, one from which we could neither take a breather nor decide to reject. We had sworn an obligation and we were bound, both legally and in our honor. A war awaited us and it was not going away anytime soon. It was our mission—indeed our sworn duty—to prepare for that war and to provide leadership to those who were fighting it. __

__ And so, against this backdrop of protest and confusion, we went about our tasks. __

__ I have often remarked that there was purity in my time at the Marine Officers Basic School of the sort that I have rarely seen in any other portion of my life. That purity came from our collective knowledge that in a very short time we would be receiving orders to combat. With those orders would come the unavoidable reality that we were soon going to be responsible for the lives of hardened United States Marines fighting a vicious war, often under unimaginable conditions. Those with whom I went through that training cycle will always hold a special place in my heart. We all knew where we were going, no matter the political arguments that were happening in other places. And we all knew that many of us would not come back alive. __

__ As the war heated up, the Marine Corps had tightened the Basic School course from thirty-two weeks to twenty-six, and then again to twenty-one, cutting out many of the classes on drill and ceremonies but adding a course on the sixty-millimeter mortar. We trained hard, six full days a week, often bivouacked or in the field for night exercises. We worked through Christmas Eve and were back on the tarmac the day after Christmas, heading out to tactical bivouacs. We trained on New Year’s Eve, and were back at it again on January 2. We graduated on February 5, 1969, and for those of us assigned to infantry units, we were on our way to Vietnam by early March. __

__ The Marine Corps takes a back seat to no other institution when it comes to combat preparation, and the Basic School reflected that. Designed and mentored by officers who had seen the worst small-unit fighting of World War II and Korea, our curriculum moved smoothly from the intellectual to the practical. Again and again we learned a weapon or a concept in a classroom, then were required to fire it or implement it in one of Quantico’s sprawling training areas. By the time we finished Basic School, we had studied and used every weapon in an infantry battalion. We had also studied and conducted tactical exercises in squad, platoon, and company formations. We had worked extensively in the thick woods, mostly at night, learning and implementing different patrolling techniques. And we had spent long hours in Socratic dialogues with our staff platoon commanders, debating leadership challenges that might face us as small-unit leaders in combat. __

__ Our instructors were handpicked from among the finest young officers in the Marine Corps. Almost all of them had been in combat. Many bore visible scars from that war. As the months went by, they repeatedly and unendingly challenged us with an age-old mantra. Soon, a sobering responsibility would be on our young shoulders, carrying with it the need to make daily, life-or-death decisions. What do you do now, Lieutenant? And sometimes they coached us with the kind of inside information that makes sense only among those who indulge in the intricacies of daily combat. Forget the rule books. Remember what I’m going to tell you. This will save your life. Isolated moments still flit across my mind, for the reality of what we soon would face was never far away in Quantico. __

__ My next-door neighbor when I moved into the military housing project at Thomason Park was a tall South Carolinian whose face and features remain a fuzzy, blond blur. Quick-tempered and intense, he became frustrated and beat his eight-week-old puppy after the little mixed-breed dog peed on his combat boots. I took the dog off his hands and named him Shep, after one of my favorite Elvis Presley songs. My neighbor finished his training three months before I did and headed off to Vietnam. By the time I finished Basic School, my dog Shep was six months old. And my hot-tempered neighbor was already dead. I learned to love the cynicism and symmetry of Marine Corps h u m o r, which permeates everything Marines do, especially their harder tasks. When things would go wrong, the jokes would quickly begin. __

__ “ To err is human, to forgive divine. Neither of which is Marine Corps policy.” __

__ “Ah, another opportunity, masking itself as a disaster. . .” __

__ “I didn’t say you had to love it, I said you had to do it. . .” __

__ “Everybody on the left, get on the right. Everybody on the right, get on the left. Everybody in the middle, mull around!” __

__ Late one December afternoon as we stood on the tarmac awaiting the helicopters that would take us to our latest tactical exercise, I stood near two of our staff platoon commanders, both of whom had been wounded in Vietnam. The CH-46s were famous for the ease with which the enemy was able to shoot them down in Vietnam. As the choppers scudded toward us through a bleak gray sky just above the interminable tree lines, one of the staff platoon commanders shivered with memories and shook his head. “I gotta get out of the Marine Corps,” he said. __

__ “Why?” asked the other. “I hate those helicopters.” “You’ll never get out,” said the other staff platoon commander. __

__ “Why?” “You’ll miss those helicopters.” __

__ Just before we graduated from Basic School, a tough but insightful lieutenant colonel brought those of us who were headed for the infantry into a separate room, where he gave us the most unforgettable speech of the entire training course. His speech has stayed with me all of these years because, whether or not the colonel fully appreciated it, his wisdom transcended his subject. The speech was not a part of our curriculum. As commanding officer of the support battalion at the Basic School, the colonel was not even a member of the teaching staff. He had either volunteered or been called upon to give the new infantry lieutenants a reality check, and there were few better qualified to do so. The colonel had served as an enlisted Marine during some of World War II’s hardest fighting, then as a rifle platoon commander during the Korean War, where he was awarded the Navy Cross for extraordinary heroism. And he had just returned from commanding an infantry battalion in Vietnam. __

__ He began by telling us, flatly, to get used to the fact that a pretty large majority of us were going to be killed or wounded. He warned us that in physical terms, Vietnam was the hardest war the Marine Corps infantry had ever fought. For the infantry the combat operations were continuous, giving the war no beginning and no end. There were no creature comforts—no hot food, no barbed wire, no tents, no toilets, no cots, no jeeps, indeed few roads. He advised us that physical ills were frequent in “the bush,” as we called the infantry areas of operations: malaria, shrimp fever, shigella, sun poisoning, hookworm, ringworm, oozing infections that could erupt after a mere scratch against reeds or sawgrass. And he urged us to become the ultimate stewards of our troops’ well-being. In the Marine Corps tradition of “loyalty down,” we would be not only their commanders but also their advocates to the higher-ups, who might not understand the daily conditions under which they were operating. __

__ A Time to Fight __

__ “Take care of your Marines.” __

__ And then he gave us the truest challenge, the warning that echoes in my memory almost every day. He began by recounting a story of a fight in Korea that went incredibly bad, where for all his combat experience he made an error in judgment while under fire. “I had the enemy pinned down on a ridge,” he said. “There was a tree line on our right. I set up a base of fire, and sent thirteen Marines into the tree line in order to envelop them. Thirteen Marines went into the tree line, and all thirteen were killed. And gentlemen, there is not a day that goes by when I don’t think about that.” __

__ The colonel then spoke of the inalienable bottom line of combat leadership: While all Marines are equally in harm’s way, it is the leaders who must make the decisions about what to do, then live with the results. What he may not have realized is that he also spelled out the timeless, inalterable responsibility that in less dramatic ways sits on the shoulders of all who choose to exercise leadership as a way of life. It is impossible to quote him directly after forty years, but this was the colonel’s message: “ You are in the business of fighting, and every day you are going to make decisions, often under pressure and under fire. Your decisions will have consequences. No matter how good you are, people are going to get killed. Sometimes it will be the enemy. Sometimes it will be innocent civilians. Sometimes it will be people you care about, people you trust, and people who trust you. You can’t escape this. It is the burden of command. For the rest of your life, there will be times when you wake up and look into the mirror and wonder if you could have made a better decision. You can’t turn back the clock, gentlemen. Keep your mind in the game, because you’re going to have to deal with the results of your decisions for the rest of your life.” __

__ In the long months I spent as a twenty-three-year-old rifle platoon and company commander in the infamous An Hoa Basin west of Danang, the colonel’s admonition resonated again and again. During the Vietnam War, the South Vietnamese government categorized villages from “A,” meaning completely government-controlled, to “E,” meaning completely controlled by the Communist Viet Cong. And they also had a separate category—Category Five—for those that were regarded as politically hopeless. Most of the villages in the An Hoa Basin were Category Fives, making them so-called free-fire zones. __

__ We constantly operated in these blown-out populated areas, moving from village to village and digging new company perimeters every few days. We lived in the villages, patrolled through them, fought inside them. The enemy used the villages for routes of ingress and egress from their base camps in the mountains as they conducted their own combat operations. They also viewed them as major supply points, since the villagers in these areas supported them, and since many of the men from the villages were with the enemy in the mountains. Air strikes and artillery missions on populated areas were the order of the d a y. On one operation, the American high command ordered B-52 “arc light” strikes on top of a heavily contested peninsula called Go Noi Island, leaving craters twenty feet deep in places where a day before there had been thatch-roofed homes. Our rifle company did the Bomb Damage Assessment, or BDA, of these areas after the B-52 mission. The landscape was churned and lifeless, what one might imagine if he were walking on the moon. __

__ The An Hoa Basin was a bloody, morally conflicted mess. __

__ Enemy contact came in every imaginable form in the Basin, from small cells of local Viet Cong to regiment-size North Vietnamese army units. Over time, dozens of my Marines became casualties from a wide array of weaponry, ranging from mines, hand grenades, rifle and automatic-weapons fire, mortars, rocket-propelled grenades, and large-caliber recoilless rifles. And every day, we who led the squads, platoons, and companies were required to make decisions. Many of these decisions addressed moral dimensions that would have confounded discussions in the seminars on ethics and philosophy at the universities where some of our peers now grappled intellectually with the war we had been sent to fight. For us, these decisions became routine, as normal as walking. But they often involved a Hobson’s choice, as there are few clear answers in combat. And they had moral, as well as mortal, consequences. __

__ H e r e ’s a routine, daily choice. You are crossing a mile-wide stretch of rice paddies, heading toward thick tree lines interlaced with small villages. You know on the one hand that people live in these hamlets. On the other, you know that the enemy has long ago dug narrow fighting trenches, moatlike, at all the village edges. If the enemy is in the area, they can watch and prepare for an hour as you cross the paddies and head toward the tree lines. One of their favorite tactics is called “grab and hold,” where they wait until you are nearly on top of them and then open up an ambush. __

__ If they ambush you from their trenches and spider holes when you are in the open, they will cut you to pieces. But if you “prep” the tree line with a mortar or artillery mission in order to preclude, or as we used to say “loosen up,” an ambush, innocent civilians may well be killed. And of course, there is no guarantee that the enemy is actually in the tree line, while you know full well that civilians are in the villages. And for all of this back-and-forth, it is not a rote process. As you approach the tree line, you search for telltale signs that might indicate the enemy is near. Are the water buffalo out in the fields? Can you see any children playing? __

__ But this is intellectual dabbling. You are walking in the real world, with Marines around you and a weapon in your hand, not sitting in a college class on moral philosophy. You have to decide, and your decision must come before you are within a few hundred meters of the tree line. What do you do now, Lieutenant? __

__ You take care of your Marines. You prep the tree line. And you accept that you are going to live with the consequences. Sometimes such moral dilemmas become deeply personal. I could choose among many, including several involving the Marines whom I commanded. But much of life is better examined in microcosm, so let me use one. __

__ While I was a rifle company commander, a South Vietnamese army unit made daytime contact with a North Vietnamese army (NVA) unit in the eastern sector of a particularly troublesome area called the Arizona Valley. Outgunned, the NVA broke contact and headed west toward the mountains. On short notice, we were ordered to relocate to a thin string of villages in an attempt to set up a blocking position and cut off their retreat. We packed our gear and moved quickly across a wide rice paddy, reaching a village and sweeping on-line through it. At the far edge of the village, our lead platoon immediately set into a blocking position facing another open paddy where the retreating NVA might cross. __

__ The follow-on platoons then began “clearing” the village bunkers. This was a normal process when we were facing enemy contact. Every thatched “hooch” in the Arizona Valley had a family bunker next to its porch, with a rabbit hutch–like double entrance. When firefights broke out, the families would head into their bunkers, which were strong enough to withstand artillery shells. But it had become a common tactic for enemy soldiers to hide inside the bunkers as well, often allowing them to come out and open fire on Marine patrols from behind. And so a routine had developed, which both the Marines and the villagers understood. Marine fire teams would move carefully from bunker to bunker, calling “lai day” three times, telling the villagers in Vietnamese to come out from their bunker. After that the Marines would throw a grenade into the bunker, and one of them would enter it, making sure it was clear. At the far edge of the village, our lead elements were firing at the tail end of the retreating NVA unit, which was now breaking away from our hasty sweep-and-block. Inside the village, one of our fire teams had cleared one of the family bunkers, but the Marine who jumped inside following the grenade blast found that three people had not come out. A younger man in black pajamas, probably a local Viet Cong afraid of exiting, had been killed. Hardened by combat, we shrugged that one off. But the other two stopped my heart even in the mind-numbing repetition of tragedy that so defines war. A wispy, gray-haired, bearded old man in white pajamas, probably a grandfather, was dead, having wrapped himself around a small boy in order to protect the child from the grenade blast. Why had he not come out of the bunker? Were he and the boy too slow to move once the Marines called for them? Was his voice too frail to be heard if he had answered the Marines who were calling for him to come out, as villagers often did before exiting their bunkers? In any event, it was clear that his final thoughts were of the boy. His shocked, opaque eyes and his still-curled body were the very definition of love and human sacrifice. The boy was still alive, although barely. __

__ At the far edge of the village, our lead units were still firing at the NVA. I walked through the village with my platoon commanders, deciding where to set up defensive positions, since dusk would soon be upon us. I called in a position report to our battalion commander. And all the while, the corpsman from the platoon I had commanded before taking over the company followed me, cradling the little boy in his arms. The corpsman and I had now served together through seven months of hard combat. We had both seen a mountain of tragedy, and we kept nothing from each other. But this one was getting to each of us, and he was insistent. __

__ “Skipper, if you don’t get this kid out of here right now, he’s going to die.” __

__ I called for a medevac, but I knew what the answer would be. Emergency medevacs were available only for Marines. The Arizona Valley was a high-risk landing zone for any helicopter. Vietnamese civilians could only be given “routine” medevacs, when landing zones were __

__ calm and all Marines had been taken care of. __

__ What do you do now, Lieutenant? I couldn’t lie to my chain of command. There weren’t any Marines to be medevacked. I made my case for the boy, and lost. “They’ll only bring it in as a routine,” I told the Doc. Both of us knew that this could take hours and possibly into the next morning. “All right,” he answered, clearly exasperated. “Then you watch him die.” __

__ The Doc put the small child on top of a wooden box, right next to where I had set up the radios for my command post. Over the next half hour, as I spoke repeatedly on the radio and set up the poncho hooch where I would spend the night, the boy lay quietly, never making a sound, all the while watching me. Nor could I stop watching him. And as we stared at each other, he slowly died. __

__ I was left with the same feeling as when we took our own casualties. The boy’s death had to be set aside, compartmentalized, put inside a mental box. There was no time either to reflect or to grieve. I was commanding a rifle company in the Arizona Valley. We were in a new village. Marines were digging into our defensive perimeter, so there were lines to check. I needed to walk the edge of our perimeter and examine nearby terrain features so I could decide where to put artillery and mortar fire in case we were attacked. Somewhere in the village a water buffalo had broken out of his pen and was rampaging near my company’s fighting positions. Night came. We rotated the watches on the radios and in our fighting holes. The next morning, we were gone. And, as Sonny and Cher liked to sing, the beat went on. But there are still moments when I look back and see the little b o y ’s soft brown eyes, and the curled corpse of the old grandfather whose last living thought had been to save him. I will never forget either of them, nor should I. The An Hoa Basin filled all of us with a lifetime of such stories. Some of them happened to our Marines, some to the enemy we fought; many more happened to the villagers caught in between. My memories of those days are one reason that I have traveled so many times to this region in my return visits to Vietnam, which began in 1991. The villagers in these contested areas paid a horrible price. No matter one’s feelings about the war itself, or which side they might have been on, we owe them. __

__ What was the microcosm I mentioned? When you have personalized death, looked into the eyes of innocent people as the life drained out of them, watched human lives torn apart not once but hundreds of times—friends, enemies, and those caught in between—it brings not only sadness but also an oddly stubborn wisdom. When you have watched an enemy fight with ferocity and often with honor, you tend to conclude that on some level you have more in common with those you were trying to kill than you do with people who view wars only as an intellectual debate. And when you have served among good people, fellow Marines, some of whom you came to love with the same intensity as you do your own family, there are few others you will meet in your lifetime who can ever gain that same level of trust and respect. __

__ To state the obvious, all of this wrapped together makes you a different person. Like most people who shared this existence, I have often been worried since those days, sometimes been frustrated, and now and then been angry, but I have never really been afraid. Whatever can be done to me, physically, mentally, and emotionally, has already happened, other than to take my life. The challenges I faced, and the decisions I was required to make every day, did make me tougher. But they also imbued me with some hard-earned insights and enabled me to consider other aspects of life with a different kind of clarity. And above all, they intensified my resolve to take care of those who for a variety of reasons have been less fortunate than I. __

__ There are no instant replays in life, no reset buttons, no rewinding of the reel. We cannot undo that which has already been done. But we do have a duty to remember, and to live our lives with a sense of invigorated purpose that might counterbalance the tragedies we have seen. __

__ As the colonel intimated, such a sense of personal accountability is the burden of true leadership, whether in combat or on Capitol Hill. Few issues have the immediacy of combat, but the principle holds in any situation. When you are given the authority to make the decisions, you also inherit the responsibility to accept the consequences, as well as the obligation to use your authority for the common good. What has this got to do with the politics of today? __

__ Everything. Our country is in the middle of a profound, many-headed crisis. This crisis is rooted in a number of causes, but much of it has been brought about by poor leadership decisions at every level of government and in every major philosophical arena. In that context, the burden of leadership is to make hard choices, to tell the truth, and to take responsibility when hardship follows. __

Mike McGarvey was my radio operator, which in a Marine rifle platoon is tantamount to shadowhood, alter ego, little brother. Everywhere I walked, he was two steps behind, carrying the PRC-25 radio that linked us to the company. Nights we slept on the same poncho, talking for hours in the darkness about home, aspirations, love, God--our soul. McGarvey was the fifth radio operator I had lost in three months. I had lured him to the job because I liked him. He was competent. He was a friend. He was 18. I sat next to him in the sunbake of a pocked, clay-dust hillside, waiting for the medevac helicopter to carry him away. That large green bird had hauled dozens of young men who had trusted my judgment to the cool blue sheets of hospital beds, to scarred uncertain futures-and I could no longer hold back the frustration and the anger. He saw my tears, fixed me in a squinting stare and shook his head. "Knock that stuff off, Lieutenant. It's only an arm." Within a week, McGarvey wrote the platoon a letter--left-handed. When he finally left the hospital, he went to a tattoo shop and had a ring of blue dashes inked around what remained of his arm. Just above it was inscribed "CUT ALONG DOTTED LINE." He is a master of the coined phrase. Not long ago, he and I were riding through Nashville with Tom Martin, another platoon member. Martin had been clipped on the spinal cord by an enemy bullet a week before McGarvey lost his arm. His legs are paralyzed. Using hand controls to drive and caught in a slow lane, Martin suddenly lurched into the next lane. Brakes screeched behind us. Horns blared. McGarvey was quiet for several seconds. Finally, he drawled, "I always did say, never trust a man who won't keep one foot on the brakes." And Martin gives it back. Later, on the set of a popular television show where we were to promote my book, Fields of Fire, a famous personality was on camera, complaining of the tortures of tennis elbow. Martin nodded toward McGarvey's empty sleeve. "That's your problem, McGarvey. You need to rest that elbow." "Yeah," said Mack. "I can't hit a tennis ball worth a damn lately." Martin and McGarvey walked together into the teeth of the tiger, and if they came away a little chewed up, they gained insight and wisdom in the trade. About themselves. About each other. About people under stress, and about values. Neat little story, happy ending-if one can erase the hurt of an angry decade, if one works mightily to forget the years of a nation incapable of or unwilling to ratify the experience that tore its warriors' bodies apart, leaving them to stew in the bitter juices of an effort begun nobly and ending ignominiously. Perhaps I should not write that McGarvey was spat upon and pushed around by antiwar protesters on his first trip away from the amputee ward in Philadelphia, or tell how he and another amputee were derided for wearing their Marine Corps uniforms to a college gathering place. It is uncomfortable, in 1982, to recall that members of the same age group, men who had not seen fit to serve, could so cruelly question the morality of men whose "crime" had been to bleed for their country. This was not an unusual experience. Fred Downs, another arm amputee and author of The Killing Zone, was crossing a street at the University of Denver at about this same time, having just returned to college. A man asked if he had lost his arm in Vietnam. When Fred said yes, the man told him, "It serves you right." Perhaps it is unfair, in the rueful afterwash, to remember all the long roads and the lonely days of Tom Martin, his athletic frame bent forever into the outline of his wheelchair. Tom Martin, articulate and handsome, could have mouthed all the words to remain a student at Vanderbilt University and evade Vietnam without stigma, as did many others. Tom Martin, who later could have condemned the war and been an immediate media star, possessing all the requirements, from good looks to a wheelchair. Tom Martin, who kept a "NO AMNESTY" sticker on his mirror, not out of vengeance, but out of a principled relief that we were a Nation of laws, not specially privileged people. A man who had enlisted out of conscience, the truest act of morality, and who once outlined the great, forgotten distinction of the entire war in a letter to his father after our platoon had waded ankle-deep in blood and carried out of a small hootch the bodies of Vietnamese civilians killed by Communists for gathering to hear a speech made by a South Vietnamese official who also was slain. Such murders by the Vietnamese Communists were policy, as when they had killed almost 3,000 civilians in Hue, a month before My Lai. Our widely publicized "war crimes" were aberrations of policy, deservedly condemned but undeservedly elevated to symbolic events. Tom had written that to his father, in 1969. But no one listened in 1969, nor for a long time after that, unless a veteran's perceptions fit the preconceptions. So you kept your mouth shut, unless you were with each other. Mike McGarvey invented a thousand stories about how he had lost his arm. I met a man in Nashville who was convinced that McGarvey had lost it fighting an alligator. But the pride still burned. It was like a delicious secret among those who had served, a reservoir of strength. And for those lucky enough to stay in contact with fellow veterans, it became heady stuff, the glue of a fierce, unbending friendship. Like the time a few years ago when McGarvey needed a job. Not a turnstile, pick-up-the-trash, dead-end job, but an occupation. Product of a hard- scrabble Southern Illinois farm, he had enlisted in the Marine Corps, hoping to gain the credentials to become a policeman. That dream had fallen into the dust with his arm, in the summer of 1969. Now he wanted to become a motorcycle mechanic. A one-armed mechanic? The Veterans Administration had certified Mc Garvey as trainable, but no one wanted to chance him. For six months he banged on door after door. The economy was down, and there was hesitation in the eyes and words of many prospective employers. Vietnam Veteran. Drugs. Mai Lai, walking time-bombs. Enter Tom Martin. Soft-spoken and introspective, Martin had been a treasure in my platoon. His anchor was wisdom. His gift was insight. He had gone on to Vanderbilt Law School after his hospitalization, then bought a small farm near Nashville. He resolved to help McGarvey. One afternoon, Martin wheeled into Lannie Boswell 's Harley Davidson dealership in Nashville. He spent an hour with Boswell, quietly selling McGarvey, talking of Vietnam, dispelling the almost automatic fears about vets and instability and drug use created by media depictions. Boswell's business had grown from $300,000 to more than $2 million in 15 years. He brought McGarvey down from Illinois for an interview. Then he hired him. Today, McGarvey runs Boswell's parts department. "We never babied him," says Boswell. "He's done a hundred percent of what we ask everybody else. Our customers like him, he's got a good memory, and he's loyal. I couldn't ask for more." Because Vietnam veterans' war experience so often isolated them-within their age group only 11 percent of the draft-eligible males ever served in Vietnam-and because their service has been so misunderstood, when veterans meet, often they experience almost immediate trust and understanding. As they waited for their country to comprehend the value of their service, they began to help each other. It began with quiet advocacy, with the simple concern of people like Tom Martin for friends, men who had proven themselves on the battlefield. It has evolved into an unusual government program that relies principally on unpaid volunteers. Tom Pauken, the director of ACTION, an umbrella agency for public service groups, was struck with the idea of formalizing the process when he attended a reception for Vietnam veterans a few years ago in his native Dallas. Many in the room were highly successful. Yet Pauken, a prominent attorney who had dealt with several of them for years, had not known they were veterans. Why, he wondered, is this part of the Vietnam veteran community so submerged, while those who are troubled are so visible? And what effect would it have on public perceptions of Vietnam veterans if these men came together to dispel the myths and help the others? Pauken created the Vietnam Veterans Leadership Program. For three years and $6 million--less than it cost to fight one single day of the Vietnam war-- the leadership program will operate from 50 sites throughout the country. At the end of this three-year period, it will go out of business. Each site has a volunteer chairman usually a prominent member of the community, a paid program director, and several volunteer committees designed to promote individual veterans' talents. The response among veterans has been "nothing short of astounding," says Pauken. Three Medal of Honor winners, several self-made multimillionaires who own their own businesses, key officials in large corporations, attorneys, men who have overcome severe combat injuries-including two blinded veterans who completed law school and are members of the bar-have adopted a common goal: to honor the validity of service to country. The principal aims of the program are to aid in job-placement, and help reshape public perceptions of Vietnam vets. (If you would like more information, write the Vietnam Veterans Leadership Program, ACTION, Room M600, Dept. P, 806 Connecticut Ave. NW. Washington, D.C. 20525.) The programs vary with their locales. The Southern California program, under Medal of Honor winner Leo Thorsness, focuses on television and movie studios, by far the worst offenders in perpetuating negative imagery of Vietnam vets. Many groups are arranging meetings with newspaper editorial boards to present data that refutes negative myths about veterans. Some examples:
 * Ninety-one percent of Vietnam veterans say they are "glad they served" and 74 percent say they enjoyed their time in the military. Two out of three state they would serve again, even knowing the outcome of the war. (Harris Survey of July 1980).
 * There is no difference in drug usage rates between veterans and non veterans of the Vietnam age group, according to a Veteran. Administration study. Two-thirds of the men who served in Vietnam enlisted; two-thirds of those who served in World War II were drafted.
 * Membership in Vietnam Veterans Against the War never exceeded 7,000 of a potential 9 million.
 * Vietnam veterans are less likely than non-vets to be in prison, says the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
 * Volunteers accounted for 77 percent of combat deaths in Vietnam.
 * Eighty-six percent of the men who died in Vietnam were Caucasian; 12.5 percent were black: 1.2 percent were of other races.
 * Ninety-seven percent of Vietnam vets were discharged under honorable conditions-the same for the 10 years prior to Vietnam.

==== OK, this is an example of the test. You will have multiple choice/guess questions (I think there were 25 last year) and 2 short answer. I have given every opportunity to you to get it in so if you fail, you fail. AMERICAN HISTORY I — RELEASED ITEMS ==== ==== 1 The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. Europe has a set of primary interests which to us have none; or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves by artificial ties in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities. Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor, or caprice. George Washington, Farewell Address, 1796Courtesy of The Avalon Project at Yale Law School In his farewell address, ====

==== 2 -American Party Platform (1856) Americans must rule America; and to this end native-born citizens should be elected for all State, Federal and municipal offices of government employment, in preference to all others. Persons born of American parents residing temporarily abroad, should be entitled to all the rights of native-born citizens. No person should be selected for political station (whether of native or foreign birth), who recognizes any allegiance or obligation of any description to any foreign prince, potentate, or power, or who refuses to recognize the Federal and State Constitutions (each within its sphere) as paramount to all other laws, as rules of political action. The unequaled recognition and maintenance of the reserved rights of the several States, and the cultivation of harmony and fraternal good-will between the citizens of the several States, and to this end, non-interference by Congress with questions appertaining solely to the individual States, and non-intervention by each State with the affairs of any other State. How did the American Party respond to the immigration of Germans in the Midwest and Irish in the East? ====

C It created education and job-training programs to help immigrants integrate into American society.
D It proposed an amendment to make English the national language and ban the speaking of foreign languages.

3 In a response letter to John Holmes in April 1820 concerning the Missouri question, Thomas Jefferson wrote:

This momentous question, like a fire bell in the night, awakened and filled me with terror. I considered it at once as the [death] knell of the Union. . . but this is a reprieve only, not a final sentence. A geographical line, coinciding with a marked principle, moral and political, once conceived and held up to the angry passions of men, will never be obliterated; and every new irritation will mark it deeper and deeper. . . the cession of that kind of property,. . . would not cost me in a second thought, if. . . a general emancipation. . . could be effected. . . but, as it is, we have the wolf by the ear, and we can neither hold him, nor safely let him go. Justice is in one scale, and self-preservation in the other. Why did Jefferson believe that the passage of the Missouri Compromise would deepen sectional conflict?

A Each enactment by Congress that took power away from the states would have built more resentment. B While some wanted slavery to end immediately, others wanted it to end gradually. C Americans would have argued forever over the line, once it was created. D Adding new states would have recreated the competition.

4 I appeal to you, my friends, as mothers: are you willing to enslave your children? You start back with horror and indignation at such a question. But why, if slavery is no wrong to those upon whom it is imposed?

Angelina Grimké, An Appeal to the Christian Women of the South, 1836 How did Angelina Grimké′s religious beliefs affect her participation in the abolitionist movement?

A Mrs. Grimké focused on urging slave owners in the South to free their slaves in order to avoid punishment from God. B Mrs. Grimké worked to convince women, as Christians and mothers, that slavery was immoral and should be abolished. C Mrs. Grimké led political protests and petitioned the federal government to end slavery immediately. D Mrs. Grimké used the Bible to defend her roles as both slave owner and advocate for the spread of slavery. 5 Fellow Citizens, I am not wanting in respect for the fathers of this republic. The signers of the Declaration of Independence were brave men. . . . The point from which I am compelled to view them is not, certainly, the most favorable; and yet I cannot contemplate their great deeds with less than admiration. They were statesmen, patriots and heroes, and for the good they did, and the principles they contended for, I will unite with you to honor their memory. . . . What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer; a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciation of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers! and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are, to Him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy— a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices more shocking and bloody than are the people of the United States, at this very hour. Frederick Douglass, July 5, 1852 What understanding did Frederick Douglass wish to convey in his speech,  What to a Slave is the Fourth of July?

A the extent to which slavery and citizenship share common characteristics B the degree to which slaves were denied the civil rights they were granted in the U.S. Constitution C the connection between the right to vote and the realization of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” D the contrast between the ideals expressed in the Declaration of Independence and the realities of slavery 6 James Henry Hammond was a South Carolina politician and U.S. Senator before the Civil War. He was a strong advocate of slavery and included justifications of the institution into many of his speeches:

The Senator from New York said yesterday that the whole world had abolished slavery. . . all the powers of the earth cannot abolish that. . . in short, your whole hireling class of manual laborers. . . are essentially slaves. The difference between us is, that our slaves are hired for life and well compensated; there is no starvation, no begging, no want of employment among our people, and not too much employment either. Yours are hired by the day, not cared for, and scantily compensated, which may be proved in the most painful manner, at any hour in any street of your large towns. Why, you meet more beggars in one day, in any single street of the city of New York, than you would meet in a lifetime in the whole South. We do not think that whites should be slaves either by law or necessity. Our slaves are black, of another. . . race. The status in which we have placed them is an elevation. . . They are happy, content, unaspiring. . . Yours are white, of your own race; you are brothers of one blood. They are your equals in natural endowment of intellect, and they feel galled by their degradation. James Henry Hammond, speech before the U.S. Senate, March 4, 1858

According to Hammond, how did freedom and equality contribute to the justification of the economic system of slavery in the South?

A Hammond stated that poor people of all races should be slaves because slave owners provide their slaves with basic life necessities. B Hammond argued that American slaves were inferior as a race, but they were treated much better than other impoverished peoples. C Hammond thought that slaves should receive monetary wages for their work but at a much lower rate than whites who performed the same jobs. D Hammond believed that states′ rights were a central part of freedom and therefore supported slavery only to advance this position.

7 How did the outcome of the Mexican-American War, which added new lands to America, increase sectional tensions throughout the 1850s?!

A Southern farmers resented the wealth gained from California gold. B Texas and California did not desire statehood, which angered New England politicians. C Territorial expansion led to intense debates about the extension of slavery into the new areas. D Agriculture became the dominant economic activity in the new areas, which threatened manufacturing interests. 8 It shall be lawful for the President of the United States. . . to order all such aliens as he shall judge dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States. . . to depart out of the territory of the United States. . . If any person shall write, print, utter, or publish. . . scandalous and malicious writings against the government of the United States. . . they shall be punished by a fine. . . and by imprisonment. Excerpt from the Alien and Sedition Acts, 1798 Courtesy of The Avalon Project at Yale Law School How did the Quasi-War with France and the passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts affect American politics? A Legislation was passed that limited U.S. citizens′ First Amendment rights. B Legislation was passed that increased the power of the state governments. C Legislation was passed that limited the power of the president during wartime. D Legislation was passed that expanded voting rights to newly immigrated citizens. 9 The British empire drove the French out of nearly all of North America with its victory in the Seven Years′ War, 1756–1763, also known as the French and Indian War. Tensions remained between the British and the American Indians on the frontier following the war. As an attempt at compromise, the British government issued the Proclamation of 1763, forbidding the settlement of British colonists west of the Appalachian Mountains. How did this proclamation contribute to colonial unrest leading up to the Revolutionary War? A Colonists wanted to settle in the Ohio Valley and lands farther west.! B Colonists felt that the British had abandoned them in North America. C Colonists who had fought with the French were angry over their defeat. D Colonists were unhappy with British aggression toward American Indians.

. . . white American miners were resentful of the other national groups represented in the camps. While they usually accepted non-English-speaking Europeans, they had less tolerance for Latin American miners and none at all for Chinese. In 1850, the new California legislature adopted a Foreign Miners License Law, charging all non-U.S. citizens $20 per month. . . Chinese miners who continued their search for gold found increasingly harsh treatment at the hands of their fellow miners. The legislature adopted a new foreign miners’ tax of $4 per month, and anti-Chinese feeling surfaced in many mining camps.

When A One Armed Man is Not a Loser by James Webb Parade Magazine November 21, 1981

The day the piece of shrapnel ripped his arm away just below the shoulder, a clean swipe like a hot knife that left the arm itself intact at his feet, I cried. Mike McGarvey was my radio operator, which in a Marine rifle platoon is tantamount to shadowhood, alter ego, little brother. Everywhere I walked, he was two steps behind, carrying the PRC-25 radio that linked us to the company. Nights we slept on the same poncho, talking for hours in the darkness about home, aspirations, love, God--our soul. McGarvey was the fifth radio operator I had lost in three months. I had lured him to the job because I liked him. He was competent. He was a friend. He was 18.

I sat next to him in the sunbake of a pocked, clay-dust hillside, waiting for the medevac helicopter to carry him away. That large green bird had hauled dozens of young men who had trusted my judgment to the cool blue sheets of hospital beds, to scarred uncertain futures-and I could no longer hold back the frustration and the anger. He saw my tears, fixed me in a squinting stare and shook his head.

"Knock that stuff off, Lieutenant. It's only an arm."

Within a week, McGarvey wrote the platoon a letter--left-handed. When he finally left the hospital, he went to a tattoo shop and had a ring of blue dashes inked around what remained of his arm. Just above it was inscribed "CUT ALONG DOTTED LINE."

He is a master of the coined phrase. Not long ago, he and I were riding through Nashville with Tom Martin, another platoon member. Martin had been clipped on the spinal cord by an enemy bullet a week before McGarvey lost his arm. His legs are paralyzed. Using hand controls to drive and caught in a slow lane, Martin suddenly lurched into the next lane. Brakes screeched behind us. Horns blared. McGarvey was quiet for several seconds. Finally, he drawled, "I always did say, never trust a man who won't keep one foot on the brakes."

And Martin gives it back. Later, on the set of a popular television show where we were to promote my book, Fields of Fire, a famous personality was on camera, complaining of the tortures of tennis elbow. Martin nodded toward McGarvey's empty sleeve. "That's your problem, McGarvey. You need to rest that elbow."

"Yeah," said Mack. "I can't hit a tennis ball worth a damn lately."

Martin and McGarvey walked together into the teeth of the tiger, and if they came away a little chewed up, they gained insight and wisdom in the trade. About themselves. About each other. About people under stress, and about values.

Neat little story, happy ending-if one can erase the hurt of an angry decade, if one works mightily to forget the years of a nation incapable of or unwilling to ratify the experience that tore its warriors' bodies apart, leaving them to stew in the bitter juices of an effort begun nobly and ending ignominiously.

Perhaps I should not write that McGarvey was spat upon and pushed around by antiwar protesters on his first trip away from the amputee ward in Philadelphia, or tell how he and another amputee were derided for wearing their Marine Corps uniforms to a college gathering place. It is uncomfortable, in 1982, to recall that members of the same age group, men who had not seen fit to serve, could so cruelly question the morality of men whose "crime" had been to bleed for their country. This was not an unusual experience. Fred Downs, another arm amputee and author of The Killing Zone, was crossing a street at the University of Denver at about this same time, having just returned to college. A man asked if he had lost his arm in Vietnam. When Fred said yes, the man told him, "It serves you right."

Perhaps it is unfair, in the rueful afterwash, to remember all the long roads and the lonely days of Tom Martin, his athletic frame bent forever into the outline of his wheelchair. Tom Martin, articulate and handsome, could have mouthed all the words to remain a student at Vanderbilt University and evade Vietnam without stigma, as did many others. Tom Martin, who later could have condemned the war and been an immediate media star, possessing all the requirements, from good looks to a wheelchair. Tom Martin, who kept a "NO AMNESTY" sticker on his mirror, not out of vengeance, but out of a principled relief that we were a Nation of laws, not specially privileged people. A man who had enlisted out of conscience, the truest act of morality, and who once outlined the great, forgotten distinction of the entire war in a letter to his father after our platoon had waded ankle-deep in blood and carried out of a small hootch the bodies of Vietnamese civilians killed by Communists for gathering to hear a speech made by a South Vietnamese official who also was slain. Such murders by the Vietnamese Communists were policy, as when they had killed almost 3,000 civilians in Hue, a month before My Lai. Our widely publicized "war crimes" were aberrations of policy, deservedly condemned but undeservedly elevated to symbolic events. Tom had written that to his father, in 1969.

But no one listened in 1969, nor for a long time after that, unless a veteran's perceptions fit the preconceptions. So you kept your mouth shut, unless you were with each other. Mike McGarvey invented a thousand stories about how he had lost his arm. I met a man in Nashville who was convinced that McGarvey had lost it fighting an alligator.

But the pride still burned. It was like a delicious secret among those who had served, a reservoir of strength. And for those lucky enough to stay in contact with fellow veterans, it became heady stuff, the glue of a fierce, unbending friendship.

Like the time a few years ago when McGarvey needed a job. Not a turnstile, pick-up-the-trash, dead-end job, but an occupation. Product of a hard- scrabble Southern Illinois farm, he had enlisted in the Marine Corps, hoping to gain the credentials to become a policeman. That dream had fallen into the dust with his arm, in the summer of 1969. Now he wanted to become a motorcycle mechanic.

A one-armed mechanic? The Veterans Administration had certified Mc Garvey as trainable, but no one wanted to chance him. For six months he banged on door after door. The economy was down, and there was hesitation in the eyes and words of many prospective employers. Vietnam Veteran. Drugs. Mai Lai, walking time-bombs.

Enter Tom Martin. Soft-spoken and introspective, Martin had been a treasure in my platoon. His anchor was wisdom. His gift was insight. He had gone on to Vanderbilt Law School after his hospitalization, then bought a small farm near Nashville. He resolved to help McGarvey.

One afternoon, Martin wheeled into Lannie Boswell 's Harley Davidson dealership in Nashville. He spent an hour with Boswell, quietly selling McGarvey, talking of Vietnam, dispelling the almost automatic fears about vets and instability and drug use created by media depictions. Boswell's business had grown from $300,000 to more than $2 million in 15 years. He brought McGarvey down from Illinois for an interview. Then he hired him.

Today, McGarvey runs Boswell's parts department. "We never babied him," says Boswell. "He's done a hundred percent of what we ask everybody else. Our customers like him, he's got a good memory, and he's loyal. I couldn't ask for more."

Because Vietnam veterans' war experience so often isolated them-within their age group only 11 percent of the draft-eligible males ever served in Vietnam-and because their service has been so misunderstood, when veterans meet, often they experience almost immediate trust and understanding. As they waited for their country to comprehend the value of their service, they began to help each other. It began with quiet advocacy, with the simple concern of people like Tom Martin for friends, men who had proven themselves on the battlefield. It has evolved into an unusual government program that relies principally on unpaid volunteers.

Tom Pauken, the director of ACTION, an umbrella agency for public service groups, was struck with the idea of formalizing the process when he attended a reception for Vietnam veterans a few years ago in his native Dallas. Many in the room were highly successful. Yet Pauken, a prominent attorney who had dealt with several of them for years, had not known they were veterans. Why, he wondered, is this part of the Vietnam veteran community so submerged, while those who are troubled are so visible? And what effect would it have on public perceptions of Vietnam veterans if these men came together to dispel the myths and help the others?

Pauken created the Vietnam Veterans Leadership Program. For three years and $6 million--less than it cost to fight one single day of the Vietnam war-- the leadership program will operate from 50 sites throughout the country. At the end of this three-year period, it will go out of business.

Each site has a volunteer chairman usually a prominent member of the community, a paid program director, and several volunteer committees designed to promote individual veterans' talents. The response among veterans has been "nothing short of astounding," says Pauken. Three Medal of Honor winners, several self-made multimillionaires who own their own businesses, key officials in large corporations, attorneys, men who have overcome severe combat injuries-including two blinded veterans who completed law school and are members of the bar-have adopted a common goal: to honor the validity of service to country.

The principal aims of the program are to aid in job-placement, and help reshape public perceptions of Vietnam vets. (If you would like more information, write the Vietnam Veterans Leadership Program, ACTION, Room M600, Dept. P, 806 Connecticut Ave. NW. Washington, D.C. 20525.) The programs vary with their locales. The Southern California program, under Medal of Honor winner Leo Thorsness, focuses on television and movie studios, by far the worst offenders in perpetuating negative imagery of Vietnam vets. Many groups are arranging meetings with newspaper editorial boards to present data that refutes negative myths about veterans. Some examples:


 * Ninety-one percent of Vietnam veterans say they are "glad they served" and 74 percent say they enjoyed their time in the military. Two out of three state they would serve again, even knowing the outcome of the war. (Harris Survey of July 1980).
 * There is no difference in drug usage rates between veterans and non veterans of the Vietnam age group, according to a Veteran. Administration study. Two-thirds of the men who served in Vietnam enlisted; two-thirds of those who served in World War II were drafted.
 * Membership in Vietnam Veterans Against the War never exceeded 7,000 of a potential 9 million.
 * Vietnam veterans are less likely than non-vets to be in prison, says the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
 * Volunteers accounted for 77 percent of combat deaths in Vietnam.
 * Eighty-six percent of the men who died in Vietnam were Caucasian; 12.5 percent were black: 1.2 percent were of other races.
 * Ninety-seven percent of Vietnam vets were discharged under honorable conditions-the same for the 10 years prior to Vietnam.

The American Crisis by Thomas Paine

In the series of sixteen essays now known as THE CRISIS, Thomas Paine, called by Benjamin Franklin “an ingenious worthy young man,” emerged as the ablest propagandist of the cause of liberty during the American Revolution. The first CRISIS essay appeared during the darkest days of December, 1776, after Washington’s forces had retreated from Fort Lee down through New Jersey and into Pennsylvania. Not only the army but the Continental Congress had been forced to flee before the advancing forces of General Howe. Many people believed that conditions had become so bad that Washington’s army could be liquidated and the revolt suppressed before the end of 1776.

Paine, who had attached himself to the Continental Army as a civilian aide, was free to mix among the officers and enlisted men during the retreat, and he was well aware of the dire situation in which the new nation found itself. In the midst of those troubled times the military situation received another blow by the plotting of the Conway Cabal, which threatened to remove Washington from the post of commander-in-chief and place the army under the direction of General Gates. It was under these conditions that Thomas Paine, America’s first great propagandist, entered the struggle as a writer to defend the honor of Washington and to advance the cause of the Revolution among the people. The first and best-known of the sixteen pamphlets appeared on December 19, 1776; it was signed “Common Sense.”

The characteristics and style of Paine’s writings may well be compared to those of Rousseau, he could electrify his audience with the written word. Also, he possessed the gift of using key words and phrases which had a magnetic effect upon those who read him. Nor have the words of Thomas Paine been forgotten. When the United States faced the great crisis of World War II, Franklin D. Roosevelt constantly turned to the words of Paine to express his thoughts. The two opening sentences of THE CRISIS offer excellent examples of Paine’s ability to use key phrases and catch words:These are times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it NOW, deserves the love and thanks of men and women. Paine in an effort to bolster the sagging morale of the Americans made light of British successes, declaring that Howe was ravaging the countryside as a brigand and not as a successful invader making a lasting conquest. The withdrawal of Washington was considered by Paine to be a strategic retreat and the promise of victory, not disaster, was imminent. He was positive that final victory could be achieved, but he declared that a greater effort was needed, that “those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it.”

Short version of Pres. Washington’s Farewell Address

Citizens, by birth or choice, of a common country, that country has a right to concentrate your affections. The name of American, which belongs to you in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism more than any appellation derived from local discriminations. With slight shades of difference, you have the same religion, manners, habits, and political principles. You have in a common cause fought and triumphed together; the independence and liberty you possess are the work of joint counsels, and joint efforts of common dangers, sufferings, and successes.

In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it occurs as matter of serious concern that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminations, Northern and Southern, Atlantic and Western; whence designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views. One of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular districts is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heartburnings which spring from these misrepresentations.

I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally.

The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism.

But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty……..the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.

It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.

A fire not to be quenched, it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame, lest, instead of warming, it should consume.

Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked: Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion.

It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government……….it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened.

As a very important source of strength and security, cherish public credit. One method of preserving it is to use it as sparingly as possible, avoiding occasions of expense by cultivating peace, but remembering also that timely disbursements to prepare for danger frequently prevent much greater disbursements to repel it, avoiding likewise the accumulation of debt, not only by shunning occasions of expense, but by vigorous exertion in time of peace to discharge the debts which unavoidable wars may have occasioned, not ungenerously throwing upon posterity the burden which we ourselves ought to bear.

So likewise, a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification.

The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves by artificial ties in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities.

It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it;

1-What 4 things did he say we as citizens had alike?

2-How did political parties use geography to divide the country?

3-Political parties also incline men to put absolute power in who?

4-What are the 2 indispensable supports of political prosperity?

5-What should the public opinion be?

6-What did he think about public credit?

7-What should we not do to our posterity?

8-Who is Posterity?

9-What should we steer clear of in regards to foreign alliances?

10-Give at least 2 examples in which we would be better off as a country if we had taken Pres. Washington’s words to heart.
