This essay reflects on the broad contours of the war in Afghanistan from Southeast Asia’s perspective. While the United States’ withdrawal from Kabul was calamitous, the pessimism about America’s role in Southeast Asia has been overstated. The United States’ withdrawal from Afghanistan was largely inconsequential for the region. Southeast Asian states deftly mixed their support for America’s campaign in Afghanistan and the broader war on terror without being seen as too sympathetic, including, in some instances, condemnation of America’s attacks on Islam. Regional governments balanced their domestic political interests with their foreign policy objectives. The abrupt Afghan withdrawal may instead have positive outcomes, as the United States boosted its courtship with countries of Southeast Asia and the broader Indo-Pacific region through new security arrangements such as the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad) and the Australian, U.K., and U.S. trilateral pact (AUKUS).
这篇文章从东南亚的角度对阿富汗战争的大致轮廓进行了反思。虽然美国从喀布尔撤军是灾难性的,但对美国在东南亚所扮演角色的悲观情绪被夸大了。美国从阿富汗撤军在很大程度上对该地区无关紧要。东南亚国家巧妙地将他们对美国在阿富汗的行动和更广泛的反恐战争的支持混合在一起,而不会被视为过于同情,包括在某些情况下谴责美国对伊斯兰教的袭击。地方政府平衡了国内政治利益和外交政策目标。随着美国通过新的安全安排,如四方安全对话(Quad)和澳大利亚、英国和美国的三边协议(AUKUS),加强了与东南亚国家和更广泛的印度太平洋地区的关系,突然从阿富汗撤军可能反而会产生积极的结果。

Under what conditions are presidents more likely to remove senior defense officials from office? Using a novel data set of all senior U.S. defense officials, both civilian and uniformed military from 1947 to 2021, this article explores whether anticipated support in Congress, partisan factors, or institutional protections for the military affect observed patterns of removal for defense officials. The results suggest that presidents are more likely to remove their own appointees (or their co-partisans’ appointees), but provide little evidence that presidents premise removal on anticipated partisan support for a replacement nominee in Congress. Moreover, the results suggest that military officials may have some insulation from politicization by strong forms of removal, though that protection may weaken an important aspect of civilian control of the military, the threat of punishment by removal, raising profound questions for how civilian control endures.
在什么情况下,总统更有可能罢免高级国防官员?本文利用1947年至2021年期间所有美国高级国防官员(包括文职和军职官员)的新数据集,探讨了国会的预期支持、党派因素或对军方的制度保护是否会影响国防官员的撤职模式。结果表明,总统更有可能撤换自己任命的人(或其共同党派任命的人),但几乎没有证据表明,总统撤换的前提是国会中预期的党派支持替代提名人。此外,研究结果表明,军事官员可能会通过强有力的撤职形式在一定程度上与政治化隔绝,尽管这种保护可能会削弱文官对军队控制的一个重要方面,即撤职惩罚的威胁,这对文官控制如何持续提出了深刻的问题。

Recently, the legal landscape for sexual minorities in the United States has changed dramatically, prompting empirical research on lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) couples and LGB service members. This study examined the relationship characteristics and mental health of LGB service members in couple relationships and compared partnered and single LGB service members. A total of 238 LGB service members completed an anonymous survey, including questions about demographics, identity, military experiences, and mental health symptoms. Results of descriptive and exploratory analyses revealed no significant differences in mental health between partnered and single participants. However, partnered individuals reported higher outness and lower internalized homophobia compared with their single counterparts. Analyses also revealed negative associations between relationship satisfaction and mental health symptoms among partnered participants. Among the first to examine LGB service members’ romantic relationships, the results of this study have important clinical and policy implications and inform next steps in researching this population.
最近,美国性少数群体的法律环境发生了巨大变化,促使人们对女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋(LGB)夫妇以及LGB服役人员进行了实证研究。本研究考察了同性恋军人在夫妻关系中的关系特征和心理健康状况,并对有伴侣和单身的同性恋军人进行了比较。共有238名LGB服役人员完成了一项匿名调查,包括人口统计、身份、军事经历和心理健康症状等问题。描述性和探索性分析的结果显示,伴侣和单身参与者在心理健康方面没有显著差异。然而,与单身的人相比,有伴侣的人报告的外向性更高,内化的同性恋恐惧症更低。分析还显示,在有伴侣的参与者中,关系满意度与心理健康症状之间存在负相关。在第一批研究LGB服役人员恋爱关系的研究中,这项研究的结果具有重要的临床和政策意义,并为下一步研究这一人群提供了信息。

Why Did the Taliban Win? 塔利班为何获胜?
IF 1.4 3区 社会学 Q3 POLITICAL SCIENCE Pub Date : 2022-06-20 DOI: 10.1177/0095327X221096702

On October 7, 2001, 3 weeks after 9/11, U.S. forces attacked Afghanistan; bombers struck Taliban headquarters and Al Qaeda training sites. By early December, the Taliban and Al Qaeda have been defeated and had fled. However, a war that began so successfully in 2001, eventually ended ignominiously on August 30, 2021, almost exactly 20 years later, with a U.S. withdrawal and a total Taliban victory. The speed of the Taliban’s triumph shocked everyone. The entire campaign, costing US$2.3 trillion and 2,488 U.S. lives, had failed—utterly. The United States had lost its longest-ever war. How is it possible to explain a defeat of that magnitude? This article seeks to address this question. Although numerous factors played a role, this article identifies three principal factors: the environment, the local politics, and the Taliban. Afghanistan is a very difficult place to conduct large-scale military operations. The West never came to terms with the local politics and consequently undermined their own efforts. Finally, although they were not militarily sophisticated, the Taliban were politically astute and very resilient.
2001年10月7日,9/11事件发生三周后,美国军队袭击了阿富汗;炸弹袭击了塔利班总部和基地组织的训练地点。到12月初,塔利班和基地组织已经被击败并逃离。然而,一场在2001年开始的非常成功的战争,最终在2021年8月30日,几乎整整20年后,以美国撤军和塔利班的全面胜利而可耻地结束了。塔利班胜利的速度震惊了所有人。这场耗资2.3万亿美元、2488名美国人丧生的战役彻底失败了。美国输掉了历史上持续时间最长的战争。怎么可能解释如此重大的失败呢?本文试图解决这个问题。虽然有许多因素起了作用,但本文确定了三个主要因素:环境、当地政治和塔利班。阿富汗是一个很难进行大规模军事行动的地方。西方从未与当地政治达成协议,结果破坏了他们自己的努力。最后,尽管塔利班在军事上并不老练,但他们在政治上很精明,也很有弹性。

Past reports indicate that enduring Department of Defense (DoD) childcare shortfalls may disproportionately affect women, but details regarding gender effects are unknown. This exploratory study sought to uncover the military childcare system’s pre-pandemic state by analyzing two Air Force (AF) survey datasets—the 2017 AF Community Feedback Tool and 2020 AF Childcare Survey—to examine gender gaps in active duty AF parents’ childcare access, cost and utilization, and perceptions of childcare impacts on career progression and retention. Results reveal that women—particularly those in the lowest ranks with less time on station—report more difficulties accessing childcare than male counterparts. Furthermore, fathers paid nothing for childcare and relied on spouses for childcare at higher rates, while mothers paid for care, relied on DoD childcare programs, were on DoD waitlists, reported childcare-related career impacts, and reported childcare affected their retention decisions at higher rates. Policy recommendations to improve childcare across the force are discussed.
过去的报告表明,国防部(DoD)持续的儿童保育短缺可能对女性造成不成比例的影响,但有关性别影响的细节尚不清楚。本探索性研究旨在通过分析两个空军(AF)调查数据集(2017年AF社区反馈工具和2020年AF托儿调查)来揭示军事托儿系统在大流行前的状态,以检查现役AF父母在托儿服务、成本和利用方面的性别差距,以及对托儿服务对职业发展和保留的影响的看法。结果显示,女性——尤其是那些工作时间较短的最底层女性——比男性更难以获得托儿服务。此外,父亲不支付育儿费用,依赖配偶育儿的比例更高,而母亲支付育儿费用,依赖国防部育儿计划,在国防部等候名单上,报告与育儿相关的职业影响,报告育儿影响他们的保留决策的比例更高。讨论了改善整个部队儿童保育的政策建议。

Veterans Affairs Hospital Productivity Change and the Policy Implications: A Research Note 退伍军人事务医院生产力变化及其政策影响:一份研究报告

As a reaction to the Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital scandal in 2014, the Veterans Choice Act of 2014 was enacted to enhance veterans’ access to health care. This study evaluated the productivity change of a panel of 102 VA hospitals from 2011 through 2019 to examine how the Act influenced the overall VA hospital productivity. The results revealed that the overall productivity of VA hospitals declined over the period and VA hospitals were not operating at an optimal scale to produce maximum outputs due to a decrease in the number of veteran patients after the Act was implemented. In addition, the technical change value less than 1 implies that VA hospitals produced fewer outputs with the given input resources over the period due to lagged adoption of innovative health care technology.
作为对2014年退伍军人事务部(VA)医院丑闻的回应,2014年颁布了《退伍军人选择法》,以加强退伍军人获得医疗保健的机会。本研究评估了2011年至2019年102家VA医院的生产力变化,以研究该法案如何影响VA医院的整体生产力。结果显示,在此期间,退伍军人医院的整体生产力下降,由于该法案实施后退伍军人病人数量减少,退伍军人医院没有以最佳规模运营以产生最大产出。此外,技术变革值小于1表明,由于创新医疗保健技术的采用滞后,在给定的投入资源下,VA医院在此期间产生的产出较少。

The Cult of the Irrelevant or Political Narrative? 不相关的或政治叙事的崇拜?

This commentary discusses Michael Desch’s book The Cult of the Irrelevant: The Waning Influence of Social Science on National Security. Desch offers a respectable and important overview of the history of national security within the social sciences from World War I through current times. He focuses on the gradual irrelevancy of political science and particularly the field of international security. Desch, however, neglects the recent university activism and political narratives infusing academic writings and classroom discussions. This review argues that what contributes to the irrelevancy of social science and particularly national security is the new “cult” itself: demands placed on academia and students to become political activists, and not social scientists nor theorists who contribute rigorous academic research affecting domestic and foreign policy. It is the political advocacy narrative itself, embraced by university cultures, that pushes social science and the study of national security down the path of irrelevancy.
这篇评论讨论了Michael Desch的书《对无关事物的崇拜:社会科学对国家安全影响的减弱》。Desch对从第一次世界大战到现在的社会科学领域的国家安全历史进行了令人尊敬和重要的概述。他关注的是政治科学,尤其是国际安全领域逐渐变得无关紧要。然而,Desch忽略了最近大学激进主义和政治叙事注入学术著作和课堂讨论。这篇评论认为,导致社会科学,特别是国家安全无关紧要的原因是新的“邪教”本身:学术界和学生被要求成为政治活动家,而不是社会科学家或理论家,他们贡献了影响国内外政策的严谨学术研究。正是被大学文化所接受的政治宣传叙事本身,将社会科学和国家安全研究推向了无关紧要的道路。

The American war in Afghanistan was originally an act of retaliation and retribution. Over time it assumed the moral burden of state-building. The state-building effort however was undermined by inadequate planning, inadequate knowledge, and inadequate understanding of the complexity and difficulty of the state-building process. Ultimately, the Afghanistan state-building effort failed. The commentary assumes the premise that even in an era of great power competition, the West cannot escape the challenge of state-building as fragile and failing states will continue to threaten global security. The commentary suggests a set of considerations for those responsible for the inevitable state-building challenges of the future.
美国在阿富汗的战争最初是一种报复和报复行为。随着时间的推移,它承担了国家建设的道德负担。然而,由于规划不足、知识不足以及对国家建设过程的复杂性和困难理解不足,国家建设的努力受到了破坏。最终,阿富汗重建国家的努力失败了。这篇评论的前提是,即使在大国竞争的时代,西方也无法逃避国家建设的挑战,因为脆弱和失败的国家将继续威胁全球安全。这篇评论为那些应对未来不可避免的国家建设挑战负责的人提出了一系列考虑。

How Afghanistan Influenced the Content of Armed Forces & Society: An Editor’s Reflection 阿富汗对《军队与社会》内容的影响:一个编辑的思考

This commentary examines the influence of the Afghanistan war on the content of Armed Forces & Society. My 20-year tenure as editor of Armed Forces & Society overlaps completely with the war. Using the lenses of the postmodern or post-Cold War military, I reflect on how the articles of this journal were influenced by the war. The postmodern military relies more heavily on volunteers, is more likely to engage in unconventional missions, and more likely to use multinational forces. I found an increase in articles devoted to reserve forces and contractors. In addition, many articles investigated the unique management challenges of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).

这篇评论探讨了阿富汗战争对《武装部队与社会》内容的影响。我作为《武装部队与社会》杂志编辑的20年任期与战争期间完全重合。通过后现代或后冷战时期的军事视角,我思考了这本杂志的文章是如何受到战争的影响的。后现代军事更依赖于志愿者,更有可能参与非常规任务,更有可能使用多国部队。我发现有关后备部队和承包商的文章有所增加。此外,许多文章调查了国际安全援助部队(安援部队)独特的管理挑战。多次部署和战争的残酷性质导致健康/心理健康文章大量增加,也导致军人家庭和退伍军人文学的范围发生变化。有限的军民关系文献受到了间接影响。

The postmodern military relies more heavily on volunteers, is more likely to engage in unconventional missions, and more likely to use multinational forces.

This study investigated the mental health significance of Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential election for military veterans. Many believed his election signaled a progressive shift in race relations and crucial challenge to White supremacy. Furthermore, many argued his election generated hope, especially among Blacks. We therefore hypothesized Black and Hispanic veterans would experience improved mental health after installment of the nation’s first Black commander in chief. We also hypothesized White veterans would experience no change in their mental health. With nationally representative survey data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), we tested these hypotheses by predicting poor mental health days self-identified Black, Hispanic, and White veterans experienced preelection and postelection in fall 2008. Net of established social determinants of health, we estimated Black and Hispanic veterans, respectively, experienced approximately 2.01 and 2.17 fewer poor mental health days postelection, whereas White veterans experienced no significant postelection change. Sensitivity analyses seemed to corroborate these findings.
本研究探讨奥巴马2008年总统大选对退伍军人心理健康的影响。许多人认为,他的当选标志着种族关系的进步转变,是对白人至上主义的重大挑战。此外,许多人认为他的当选带来了希望,尤其是在黑人中。因此,我们假设黑人和西班牙裔退伍军人在美国第一位黑人总司令就职后,心理健康状况会有所改善。我们还假设白人退伍军人的心理健康状况不会发生变化。根据行为风险因素监测系统(BRFSS)的全国代表性调查数据,我们通过预测2008年秋季自认为的黑人、西班牙裔和白人退伍军人在选举前和选举后经历的心理健康状况不佳的日子来检验这些假设。考虑到健康的社会决定因素,我们估计黑人和西班牙裔退伍军人在选举后的心理健康状况不佳的天数分别减少了2.01天和2.17天,而白人退伍军人在选举后没有明显的变化。敏感性分析似乎证实了这些发现。
