78 페이지 - For the individual soldier, the paramount factor affecting combat motivation is the operation of the rotation system. Under current assignment policies Army personnel serve a 12-month tour of duty in Vietnam. Barring his being killed or severely wounded, then, every soldier knows exactly when he will leave Vietnam. His whole being centers on reaching his personal "DEROS" (Date Expected Return Overseas). It is impossible to overstate the soldier's constant concern with how much more time — down...
68 페이지 - Some are likely to seek continuing outlets for a pattern of violence to which they have become habituated, whether by indulging in antisocial or criminal behavior or by — almost in the fashion of mercenaries — offering their services to the highest bidder.
35 페이지 - The third possible response, then, is simply to be responsive— to trust our young people, to listen to them, to understand them, to let them know that we care deeply about them. Instead of worrying about how to suppress the youth revolution, we of the older generation should be worrying about how to sustain it.
9 페이지 - Today we are nervous about new "dangerous classes" — those young men and women of college and graduate school age who can't seem to "settle down" the way their parents did, who refuse to consider themselves adult, and who often vehemently challenge the existing social order. "Campus unrest," according to a June, 1970, Gallup Poll, was considered the nation's main problem. The factors that have brought this new group into existence parallel in many ways the factors that produced adolescence : rising...
202 페이지 - Eligible veterans must make their own arrangements for loans through the usual lending channels, such as banks, building and loan associations, mortgage loan companies, and the like. The lender making a GI home loan is guaranteed against loss up to 60 percent of the loan, with a maximum guarantee of $12,500.
18 페이지 - ... Galley . . . started pushing them off and shooting . . . off into the ravine. It was a ditch. And so we just pushed them off, and just started using automatics on them . . . men, women, children . . . and babies . . . after I done it, I felt good, but later on that day it was gettin' to me . . . It just seemed like it was the natural thing to do at the time.
35 페이지 - This response, or lack of it, basically avoids the issue or yields grudgingly in a kind of tokenism. It is not working very well, and if I am right that the youth revolt of today is something much more than the normal rebelliousness of the young, then it will not work at all in the long run. We will find ourselves constantly pushed toward the brink of backlash. The greater tragedy will be the opportunity we will have lost. For we know all too well that time is running out on the great problems the...
8 페이지 - Hall's work went through many editions and was much popularized; "adolescence" became a household word. Hall's classic description of the sturm und drang, turbulence, ambivalence, dangers and possibilities of adolescence has since been echoed in almost every discussion of this stage of life. But it would be incorrect to say that Hall "discovered" adolescence. On the contrary, from the start of the nineteenth century, there was increasing discussion of the "problem" of those past puberty but not yet...
7 페이지 - Eighteen of the 34 men had full-time employment before entering the service, 12 in blue-collar jobs and six in white-collar employment. About two-thirds of the soldiers were from working-class backgrounds with the remainder being from the lower-middle class. As for other social background characteristics: eight were black; one was a Navajo; another was from Guam; the other 20 men were white including three Mexican-Americans and one Puerto Rican. Only seven of the squad members were married (three...
2 페이지 - Be serious, man," or "Who's kidding who?" In particular, they have little belief that they are protecting an outpost of democracy in South Vietnam. United States Command Information pronouncements stressing defense of South Vietnam as an outpost of the "free world" are almost as dubiously received as those of Radio Hanoi which accuse Americans of imperialist aggression. As one soldier put it, "Maybe we're supposed to be here and maybe not. But you don't have time to think about things like that....
