Book excerpt: The Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944 (G.I. Bill) was "widely considered to be one of the most successful public policies ever adopted in the United States" (Serow, 2004, p. 482). It had both social and political effects some historians believed went far beyond those originally envisioned. Given the popular name "G.I. Bill of Rights" it had six provisions or titles. The various titles addressed the broad concerns and recommendations from two presidential committees. Title II, the education and training provision of the bill, provided monetary assistance to veterans enrolled in postsecondary institutions. Title II was the first large-scale direct student financial aid initiative every undertaken in the United States (Angrist, 1993). The Title II G.I. Bill entitlement had unexpected and profound effects on American higher education, the American economy, and on the American society in general. With that provision, veterans of World War II were asked, in essence, if they wished to attend college for free. The effects Title II had on postsecondary institutions, student populations, and on veterans has been studied extensively. What has been missing however was the retrospective recollections of WW II veterans and how they interpreted that historic piece of legislation. Most importantly, we now have a full life-course history of the first participants of that first-large scale student financial aid initiative from which to draw conclusions. Only now is it possible to look back over many years at that historic initiative. Determining its effects seems appropriate. Questions such as: was the G.I. Bill perceived as useful? If not, now was it perceived? Did it accomplish what it was designed for? Did those who used it do so for the purposes envisioned? Answers to such questions are important for contemporary policy makers when contemplating future financial aid initiatives. Seven World War II veterans were interviewed. The purpose of the interviews was to explore the effects the Title II provision of the 1944 G.I. Bill legislation had on the life-course of those veterans. The interviews were guided by the following questions: 1. Thinking retrospectively what were the veterans' perception of the G.I. Bill? 2. What factors influenced their decision to use / not use Title II? 3. How do the veterans believe their use / non-use of the education provision affected their life-course? 4. Were life-course trajectory changes manifested in a veteran's post-war family, career, or occupational choices? Interview sessions were focused on three periods of a veteran's life: pre-war family, military experience, and post-war life. How the G.I. Bill was perceived is woven into the conclusions. Analysis of the interviews was done using the author's notes, prepared transcripts, recordings of the interviews, and the Leximancer computer software package for academic research. The author's analysis consisted of Within Case and Cross Case comparisons. The Leximancer analysis revealed two major themes: Time and School. Those themes had not been identified by the author and needed to be interpreted. The blending of these two analysis techniques enabled a truer picture to be drawn of the G.I. Bill and its effects on the veterans interviewed. This book also captures the history of the G.I. Bill from its inception in 1939 to implementation in 1944. Included are historical records of the discussions which preceded its passage. The surprising impacts this legislation had on the American college is discussed. Findings, recommendations for further inquiry, and a conclusion are also included.

Download or read book Space Wars written by Michael J. Coumatos and published by Forge Books. This book was released on 2007-04-17 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael J. Coumatos is a former U.S. Navy test pilot, ship's captain, and commodore; U.S. Space Command director of wargaming; and a government counterterrorism advisor. William Scott is a retired bureau chief of Aviation Week and Space Technology and a nine-year Air force veteran who served as aircrew on nuclear sampling missions. He is a six-time Royal Aeronautical Society "Journalist of the Year" finalist, and won the Society's 1998 Lockheed Martin Award for the "Best Defense Submission." He also received both the 2006 and 2007 Messier-Dowty awards for "Best Airshow Submission." With the help of New York Times bestselling author William J. Birnes, these renowned experts have joined forces to grippingly depict how the first hours of World War III might play out in the year 2010. Coumatos, Scott, and Birnes take the reader inside U.S. Strategic Command, where top military commanders, space-company executives, and U.S. intelligence experts are conducting a DEADSATS II wargame, exploring how the loss of critical satellites could lead to nuclear war. The players don't know that the war they are gaming has already begun, miles above them in the lifeless, silent cold of space. Jam-packed with the actual systems and secret technologies the United States has or will soon field to protect its space assets, Space Wars describes a near-future nuclear nightmare that terrorists will relish but politicians prefer to ignore. In a quieter, more peaceful time, Space Wars would be an exciting work of fiction. But with the United States now at war, Space Wars is all too real. .

Book excerpt: What price did our World War II veterans pay for Liberty? "For Liberty" is a World War II veteran's inspiring life story of courage, sacrifice, survival and resilience Ed was a Jewish-American soldier who served in the 399th Infantry Regiment of the 100th Division in Europe during World War 2. From the end of 1944 through 1945, the division fought valiantly to repel the Germans from France. Ed recalls the battle in the trenches, hand to hand combat that involved knifing the enemy, throwing molotov cocktails at enemy tanks and more horrors of war during the 164 days of relentless combat. The 100th division suffered over 12,215 casualties and hundreds of soldiers reported as missing in action were actually taken prisoner by the Nazis in Germany and mistreated as were all of the holocaust victims. Some, like Ed, miraculously survived. (There were over 94,000 Americans detained during World War II.) In order to transport the prisoners to the POW camps, the Germans forced Ed and hundreds of prisoners into overcrowded rail cars and locked them in for 7 days without food and water. They could only stand chest to chest. Ed survived but the time in the crowded box car damaged a leg. However, many perished before arriving at the camp.
