Soldiering After the Vietnam War: Changed Soldiers in a Changed Country , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 387min
For American soldiers returning home from the Vietnam War, there were no "Welcome Home" signs, no flowers, and no ticker-tape parades. For these soldiers, there were protesters! They were spit on, there was name calling, there was disrespect, and yes, there was even hatred. The Vietnam War was an unpopular war, but these young men did not ask to go to war. They only did what their government sent them to do. With unflinching honesty, author Glyn Haynie's new memoir, Soldiering After the Vietnam War: Changed Soldiers in a Changed Country, describes the difficulty he and many soldiers faced in adjusting to civilian life on their return from Vietnam. This moving story chronicles the impact this war had on these young combat veterans. It exposes how the shameful treatment these soldiers received on their return from Vietnam impacted them. It is also a story of brotherhood and the strong, lasting bonds that can only be forged in combat, bonds that were so often very important in the healing process many Vietnam veterans had to work through. It is a celebration of the courage, dedication, and perseverance so many American veterans possess. Haynie shares with his listeners his struggles and his successes, completing a stellar 20-year career in the US Army, culminating as an instructor at the US Army Sergeants Major Academy. His story is one that clearly demonstrates just how wrong those protestors were...and just how much our country does owe these men and women who served their country with bravery and honor...our gratitude and respect. Glyn Haynie's story will touch you in many ways...stirring feelings of embarrassment, anger, understanding, gratitude, and pride. It is a story all Americans should hear. ungekürzt.

We Kill Because We Can: From Soldiering to Assassination in the Drone Age , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 664min
Last resort has become first resort. Courage has become cowardice. Black ops have become standard operating procedure. An intelligence agency is now a killing machine. Self-defense has become naked aggression. Guilt beyond a reasonable doubt has become possible future potential for guilt. Voices of dissent have been irrevocably silenced. Patriots have been replaced by mercenaries. Human rights have been eclipsed by concern with the protection of soldiers’ lives. The US war on terrorism has been carried out using terrorist tactics, with formal military states emulating asymmetrical factional killers. Wars of necessity have been supplanted by ever-proliferating wars of choice.In We Kill Because We Can: From Soldiering to Assassination in the Drone Age, Laurie Calhoun examines the 21st-century practice of remote-control killing of suspects located in third-world countries and challenges listeners to reflect upon the long-range implications - moral, political, psychological, and cultural - of this new form of "warfare". Through the use of provocative analogies and examples, We Kill Because We Can clarifies and criticizes targeted killing as incompatible with the values and principles of modern Western democratic societies.Table of contents:Foreword to the Paperback edition (2016) Preface IntroductionPart I: Find Chapter 1: Drone Nation Chapter 2: From Black-Ops to Standard Operating Procedure Chapter 3: The Logic of Targeted Killing Chapter 4: Lethal CreepPart II: Fix Chapter 5: Strike First, Suppress Questions Later Chapter 6: The New Banality of Killing Chapter 7: The Operators Chapter 8: From Conscience to OblivionPart III: Finish Chapter 9: Death and Politics Chapter 10: Death and Taxes Chapter 11: The Death of Military Virtue Chapter 12: Tyra ungekürzt.
