Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exciting M*A*S*H story the 6th Convalescent Center, Cam Ranh Bay, was the Army's most notorious Amnesty Drug Compond in Vietnam. 200 GI junkies were confined to a under staffed barbed wire enclosed hospital. During a midnight party GI junkies, high on drugs, dancing around a bon fire like a tribe of wild men took control of the hospital. The staff left the hospital and went on strike. Four weeks later Four Star General Creighton W. Abrams held a meeting at the post theater. The next day two truck load of M.P.'s came in and established law and order. I believe this is the first time an army unit went on strike in a war zone.

Book excerpt: The 6th Convalescent Center at Cam Ranh Bay was the Armyʼs most notorious Amnesty Drug Compound in Viet Nam. Over 200 GI junkies were confined to an under staffed barbed wire enclosed hospital. Two months into operations the 200 plus GI junkies took control of the hospital. It all started with a midnight party. The GI junkies took all the beds out of the hospital, along with several pieces of hospital furniture, piled them up near the hospital entrance and set them on fire. It was one of the strangest sights I have ever seen. 200 plus GI junkies, high on drugs, dancing around a bon fire acting like a tribe of wild men. My reaction, along with the other 59 GIs staffing the hospital, was simple. We left the hospital and went on strike. Going on strike was not something the Army was prepared to handle. Our commanding officer, a doctor, ordered us to go back into the hospital to take control of the drug crazed GI junkies. We, on the other hand, where not so inclined to do this. Our chaplain decided he would talk to the drug crazed GI junkies, thinking he could defuse the situation. He gave a really great speech on how he felt their pain and understood them. They responded by allowing the chaplain to feel their pain first hand. They beat him up and threw him out the front gate. Upon hearing how the chaplain was given to a lesson in humility by the GI junkies, our commander, being of sounder mind then the chaplain made a decision. He decided he would get back to us later after consulting with higher authorities. Later became four weeks and the higher authority turned out to be Four Star General Creighton W. Abrams, Commanding General of the Army. Born at the Queen of Angels Hospital in Los Angeles, California. Grew up in East Los Angeles, in the district of Highland Park graduating from Franklin High School, Los Angeles City College, California State University at Los Angeles, and University of California at Los Angeles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women Vietnam Veterans: Our Untold Stories, by Donna Lowery, a Vietnam veteran, chronicles the participation of American military women during the Vietnam War. This little-known group of an estimated 1,000 women from the Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force left its mark in Vietnam from 1962 to 1973. They served in a myriad of duties from intelligence analysts, flight controllers, clerk-typists, translators, physical therapists, dietitians and communications specialists among many others. Our Untold Stories allows the women to speak for themselves about their experiences, and, for the first time ever, brings names, facts and figures together in one literary work. The purpose of the book is to be historically significant to future researchers. The history of the military women in Vietnam began in 1962 with Army Major Anne Marie Doering. She was born in what became North Vietnam. Her father was a French officer, her mother a German citizen. When her father died, her mother married an American businessman. Her service in Vietnam as a Combat Intelligence Officer is a compelling story of the US military women in a war zone. It was not until 1965 that the US Women’s Army Corps (WAC) sent two women as advisors to assist the newly formed Vietnam Women’s Armed Forces Corps. The following year, the Army authorized the establishment of a WAC Detachment in Vietnam. Soon, thereafter, the Air Force, Marine Corps and Navy also sent women to serve in various capacities. In March 1973, under the Paris Peace Accords, the last women left Vietnam along with the remaining men. The impact they had in Vietnam set the stage for the expansion and integration of women into additional roles in the military. Today, women serve in areas of active combat, demonstrating their abilities and dedication to the mission.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an oral history of women who served in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps during the Vietnam War. It follows the trajectory of eight women’s lives from their decision to become nurses, to surgical and evacuation hospitals in Vietnam, and then home to face the consequences of war on their personal and professional lives. It documents their lived experience in Vietnam and explores the memories and personal stories of nurses who treated injured American soldiers, Vietnamese civilians, and the enemy. Their voices reveal the physical and emotional challenges, trauma, contradictions, and lingering effects of war on their lives. Women in the U.S. Army in Vietnam feared the enemy but also sexual violence and harassment: the experiences this book documents also shed light on the extent of historical sexual abuse in the military.
Download or read book Officer Nurse Woman written by Kara Dixon Vuic and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on more than 100 interviews, Vuic allows the nurses to tell their own captivating stories, from their reasons for joining the military to the physical and emotional demands of a horrific war and postwar debates about how to commemorate their service. Vuic also explores the gender issues that arose when a male-dominated army actively recruited and employed the services of 5,000 women nurses in the midst of a growing feminist movement and a changing nursing profession. Women drawn to the army's patriotic promise faced disturbing realities in the virtually all-male hospitals of South Vietnam. Men who joined the nurse corps ran headlong into the army's belief that women should nurse and men should fight.
