We owe the American solder, who for future conflicts must be equally prepared to direct traffic and to close with and destroy the enemy, answers to these questions.

In 1998 she was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Army.

If the big wars of the 20th century were about saving civilization and countries, small wars are about saving people. Instead of defeating Hitler, they are concerned with the capture of international pariahs like General Noriega, Radovan Karadic or Colonel Aideed - or the rescue of hostages or prisoners-of-war. This is the two-fold mission of the US Army's Special Forces, the 'Green Berets'. David Isby investigates their most famous missions from POW rescues at the end of the Second World War to the extraction of shot-down pilots from under the noses of the Bosnian Serb militia in 1995.

In this study, Dr. Donald J. Mrozek probes various groups of Americans as they come to grips with the consequences of the Vietnam War. He poses far more questions than he answers, and some of what he says may invite strong dissent. Yet it will serve its author's purpose if something here provokes creative thinking and critical reexamination, even of some long-cherished ideas. Viewing the Vietnam War as a logical outcome of American defense thinking has challenging implications, as does seeing the "cold war consensus" on foreign affairs as an oddity. Yet this is not a litany of objection and... View more info

Parallels reclaims the experience of American and Soviet participants in the two longest and most devastating episodes of contemporary warfare, Vietnam and Afghanistan, and places them within the context of social and behavioral theory. As texts, the narratives, here ordered and re-encoded, are as fragmentary as the war experiences they recount. Much of their, language is hermetic; sometimes it is brutal and unpalatable. Within the broader context of this book, however, they attain to a historical relevance, posing a challenge to conventional understandings of contemporary warfare. View more info
