O'Neill, a lawyer and swift boat veteran, and Corsi, an expert on Vietnam antiwar movements, argue that Kerry misrepresented his wartime exploits and is therefore incompetent to serve as commander in chief. Buttressed by interviews with Navy veterans who patrolled Vietnam's waters, some along with Kerry, the book claims he exaggerated minor injuries, self-inflicted others, wrote fictitious diary entries and filed "phony" reports of his heroism under fire--all in a calculated quest to secure career-enhancing combat medals. They also maintain that Kerry, whom they call a "moral coward," committed atrocities that alarmed his peers and superior officers during his four-month tour of duty. Yet his activities on behalf of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War clearly raises the authors' hackles the most, and they present Kerry's post-war actions as additional, damning evidence of his "total unfitness," claiming that his testimony against the war "caused more deaths and prolonged the war in Vietnam by undermining support at home and contributing directly to a Vietnamese Communist victory." The battle that lies at the heart of this book is the decades-old feud between antiwar veterans and their my-country-right-or-wrong counterparts. The authors' conservative take on the war is palpable: the U.S. military failed to unleash "massive, indiscriminate bombing" to force North Vietnam's capitulation; the conflict was a struggle against communism, not a civil war; and the dissenting soldiers undermined homefront morale. Consequently, this overwrought and repetitive polemic seethes with a resentment that compromises the otherwise eyebrow-raising testimonies. 330 8 $aFurther, without access to Kerry's full military and medical records, the authors rely heavily on 35-year-old recollections and recent Kerry biographies by Douglas Brinkley and a Boston Globe reporting team. Those looking for a thorough, unbiased investigation into Kerry's wartime record would do best to wait for more objective, methodical chroniclers who have access to the relevant documents. 606 $aLegislators$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aPresidential candidates$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aSoldiers$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aVietnam War, 1961-1975$vBiography 606 $aPublic opinion$zUnited States 615 0$aLegislators 615 0$aPresidential candidates 615 0$aSoldiers 615 0$aVietnam War, 1961-1975 615 0$aPublic opinion 676 $a973.931/092 700 $aO'Neill$b John E.$01239746 702 $aCorsi$b Jerome R. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910135045003321 996 $aUnfit for command$92876299 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02113nam0 2200493 i 450 001 VAN00052339 005 20250422101923.574 010 $a978-03-87979-71-7 100 $a20060914d1993 |0itac50 ba 101 $aeng 102 $aUS 105 $a|||| ||||| 181 $ai$b e 182 $an 183 $anc 200 1 $aGröbner Bases$eA Computational Approach to Commutative Algebra$fThomas Becker, Volker Weispfenning$gin cooperation with Heinz Kredel 210 $aNew York$cSpringer$d1993 215 $axxii, 574 p.$d25 cm 410 1$1001VAN00023579$12001 $aGraduate texts in mathematics$1210 $aNew York [etc.]$cSpringer$d1950-$v141 606 $a12-08$xComputational methods for problems pertaining to field theory [MSC 2020]$3VANC021373$2MF 606 $a13P10$xGröbner bases; other bases for ideals and modules (e.g., Janet and border bases) [MSC 2020]$3VANC022516$2MF 606 $a68W30$xSymbolic computation and algebraic computation [MSC 2020]$3VANC019771$2MF 610 $aAbstract algebra$9KW:K 610 $aAlgebra$9KW:K 610 $aAlgebraic structures$9KW:K 610 $aAxiom of choice$9KW:K 610 $aEquations$9KW:K 610 $aFinite$9KW:K 610 $aFunctions$9KW:K 610 $aMathematics$9KW:K 610 $aMorphisms$9KW:K 610 $aVector spaces$9KW:K 620 $aUS$dNew York$3VANL000011 700 1$aBecker$bThomas$3VANV020498$059807 701 1$aWeispfenning$bVolker B.$3VANV020499$01358986 702 1$aKredel$bHeinz$3VANV020500 712 $aSpringer $3VANV108073$4650 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20250829$gRICA 856 4 $u/sebina/repository/catalogazione/documenti/Becker, Weispfenning - Grobner bases a computative approach to commutative algebra.pdf$zContents 899 $aBIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI MATEMATICA E FISICA$1IT-CE0120$2VAN08 912 $aVAN00052339 950 $aBIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI MATEMATICA E FISICA$d08PREST 13-XX 0294 $e08 2869 I 20060914 996 $aGröbner bases$93372325 997 $aUNICAMPANIA
