Проводит ежегодные съезды [conventions], на которых избираются Национальный исполнительный комитет [national executive committee] и руководитель - "национальный командующий" [national commander]. Финансирует программы поддержки ветеранов-инвалидов и их семей, а также программы военно-спортивного воспитания молодежи. Легион - "против всех -измов", за "американские идеалы", против разоружения.

  • 17 collateral damage

    = civilian deaths
    Collateral damage is unintended damage and civilian casualities and deaths caused by the dropping of bombs in the course of a military operation. The term is of US origin and was first used to describe deaths in the Vietnam War, then in the Gulf War, then in the action (euphemism!) in Serbia at the end of the 1990s and most recently in Afghanistan.

  • 18 antiwar movement

    ист
    Движение против войны во Вьетнаме [ Vietnam War], которое обрело форму массовых акций в 60-е - начале 70-х гг. XX в. У истоков движения стояли левые общественные деятели, которые традиционно были пацифистами, а также квакеры [ Quakers], изначально выступавшие против военного вмешательства США в Индокитае. В октябре 1964 квакерская миротворческая организация "Сообщество примирения" [Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR)] официально призвала к уклонению от призыва [ draft evaders]. Другой влиятельной группой пацифистов на начальном этапе движения стала Лига противников войны [ War Resisters League], которая организовала 16 мая 1964 демонстрацию в г. Нью-Йорке, во время которой 12 человек сожгли свои призывные повестки [ draft card]. В декабре 1964 по инициативе организации прошла первая общенациональная демонстрация против войны. По мере активизации боевых действий и роста числа погибших [ body count] против эскалации конфликта начали выступать представители разных политических спектров, многие действующие политики. Движение перекинулось на студенческие городки [ campus; campus unrest], где особенно активно действовала организация "Студенты за демократическое общество" [ Students for a Democratic Society] и другие "новые левые" [ New Left]. 15 апреля 1967 состоялся крупнейший антивоенный марш студентов на Вашингтон, в котором приняли участие свыше 20 тыс. человек (см Marches on Washington). Во второй половине 60-х гг. к антивоенным протестам присоединились многие лидеры движения за гражданские права [ civil rights movement], в том числе М. Л. Кинг [ King, Martin Luther, Jr. (MLK)]. Движение достигла своего пика в 1966-67. 15 апреля 1967 в демонстрации в г. Нью-Йорке приняли участие более 130 тыс. человек, в Сан-Франциско - более 70 тысяч. Через полгода состоялся стотысячный "Марш на Пентагон" ["March on the Pentagon"]. Съезд Демократической партии [Democratic National Convention] в августе 1968 был отмечен стычками демонстрантов и полиции. Одним из результатов движения стал призыв Р. Никсона [ Nixon, Richard Milhous] к "вьетнамизации" [ Vietnamization] конфликта и вывод части американского контингента из Вьетнама в 1969. С октября 1969 демонстрации начали проходить ежемесячно, но вскоре движение пошло на спад.

    (1915-2005) Миллер, Артур
    Драматург. Его пьесы строятся на конфликте между общественной моралью и совестью человека. Его темы - современная ему жизнь, весь XX век: Великая депрессия [ Great Depression], фашизм, "холодная война" [ cold war], расизм и антисемитизм, маккартизм [ McCarthyism], война во Вьетнаме [ Vietnam War] и др. Многие пьесы Миллера шли на Бродвее [ Broadway], хотя с 70-х гг. он предпочитал менее коммерциализированные театры. В 1956-61 был женат на М. Монро [ Monroe, Marilyn]. Основные пьесы: "Все мои сыновья" ["All My Sons"] (1947); "Смерть коммивояжера" ["Death of a Salesman"] (1949) (по утверждению критики, лучшая американская пьеса всех времен), об иллюзорной надежде "маленького человека" осуществить "американскую мечту", утвердиться в чувстве собственного достоинства; "Суровое испытание" ["The Crucible"] (1953), о драме человека во времена "охоты на ведьм" в XVII в. [Salem Withcraft Trials] (несомненная перекличка с временами маккартизма [ McCarthy Era]); "После грехопадения" ["After the Fall"] (1964); "Это случилось в Виши" ["Incident at Vichy"] (1964); "Цена" ["The Price"] (1968) и др.
