It is needless to say that America's indiscriminate artillery and chemical attacks have worsened the conditions of Vietnam's tropical rain forests, causing war-torn combat troops and civilians to suffer more from the participation and aftermath of the Vietnam war. Around two decades after the Vietnam War, American and Vietnamese writers dealing with the destruction of the human and nature of the Vietnam War and the following traumatic experience commonly report the horrors of inhumane warfare, but some differences among them appear in the reception of the ecocide consciousness. For American writers who had been involuntarily involved or who had stayed in the back area as interpreters and counter-intelligence force, the Vietnam War was often a kind of exotic "addicted adventure" which their American hometown could not provide. But apart from overcoming postwar post-traumatic stress by writing of healing which was shared with American war writers, Vietnamese writers have been able to overcome the scars of war as the communal memorial, which Jonathan Shay emphasized as the necessary comforting ritual by community members showing the sign of honor and care. On the other hand, American war writers were on the side of "separate peace," as Jeong stressed, and the Vietnam War to them was more racist like the case of "body count." Nevertheless, it is fortunate that the hideous experience of war could turn them all into the creativity pool, just as the 5,000 square mile of bomb creators have been used as the postwar fish ponds.

This study was conducted to explore the impacts of involvement in the Vietnam War on the self-esteem of the veterans in their later lives. In this study, 14 Korean male Vietnam War veterans from 55 to 63 years old were asked about the impacts of their war experiences on their self-esteem. From the analysis of the in-depth interviews the following conclusions were drawn: First, the veterans perceived that their self-esteem improved with both internal and external impacts of their activities in Vietnam. The internal aspects that improved the veterans' self-esteem were recalling their positive memories of Vietnam War, such as being on duty at a war front for the sake of our country, doing volunteer work for the villagers, and becoming a masculine heroic figure in the family legend. The external aspects were positive attitudes and responses toward their war activities from their family, friends, and neighbors. Second, they also felt persistently frustrated with their recurring memories of involvement in killing human beings, experiences of negative family and social responses, and the side effects of herbicidal cyanide they suffer. In this article, the following suggestions were made. First, standardized images and good-will episodes of the Vietnam War need to be provided by the government, in order to improve public images on the veterans. Second, intensive adjustment programs for the families of older veterans in special needs should be developed in collaboration with various veterans' societies and family counseling institutions, so that the spouses and children can be relieved from tension-laden contacts with the veterans and prevent violent incidents.

According to John Newman's Bibliography of Imaginative Works about American Fighting in Vietnam, there are 1370 entries up to 1996 which deal with the theme of Vietnam War in literature. Among various themes such as war and gender/race and ethnicity/class, this study makes an issue of the contiguity between femininity and death in Vietnam War novels written by Americans to investigate one of the bedrocks upon which the western civilization is founded. Female figures, especially Oriental females are seen as an emblem of death in the novels such as The Thirteenth Valley, Close Quarters, Body Count, and Bamboo Bed. It has been found out that this kind of death obsessive mode of thinking is deeply embedded in Western mentality and argued that its habitual mode needs to be changed.

본 연구는 베트남에 있는 베트남전쟁 메모리얼을 대상으로 메모리얼의 유형적 특성, 설계개념 및 내러티브, 입지 및 공간적 특성, 도입요소의 특성, 조경디테일에 나타난 표현 내용을 분석하고, 이를 토대로 하여 베트남전쟁 메모리얼에 나타난 기념문화를 분석하였다. 이러한 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 오랜 전쟁으로 인해 베트남전쟁 메모리얼은 군인묘지, 전적지, 전쟁박물관, 비극적 장소, 평화공원 등 10가지 유형으로 다양하게 나타났으며, 이중에서 전통적 양식에 근거한 군인묘지, 장소성을 강조한 전적지와 비극적 장소, 전쟁 승리와 잔혹함을 표현한 전쟁박물관, 평화공원이 특징적인 유형으로 나다났다. 2. 메모리얼에 나타난 주요한 설계개념 및 내러티브는 희생자 추모, 국가에 헌신, 전쟁승리와 저항, 장소적 기념성으로 나타났으며, 국제적인 민간단체의 협력에 의해 만들어진 미라이 평화공원(My Lai Peace Park) 및 한-베 평화공원(Han-Viet Hoa Binh Cong Vien)에서 비극적 사건을 극복하고 평화를 도모하는 개념을 적용하였다. 3. 메모리얼은 비무장지대(Demilitarized Zone: DMZ) 및 전쟁 루트였던 호치민 트레일(Ho Chi Minh Trail), 그리고 베트남을 남북으로 연결하는 주요한 도로인 A1 국도 주변에 위치하고 있으며, 이 밖에 하노이 및 호치민 등 도시에 전쟁박물관 및 모뉴멘트가 조성되었다. 묘지 및 추모 메모리얼에서는 문과 기념탑(또는 제단)을 연결하는 축을 중심으로, 좌우에 묘역이 배치되는 전통적 공간체계를 따랐으며, 전적지 및 비극적 장소에서는 장소성에 지나치게 의존하여 설계를 통한 특정적인 공간 형태보다는 상징적 요소를 도입하여 기념성을 구현하였다. 4. 기념조각 및 기념탑은 베트남 사회주의공화국의 대표적 양식으로 전쟁승리 및 저항정선을 표현하기 위해 보편적으로 사용되었고, 포획한 무기를 전시하고 박물관에 사진 및 모형 등 자료를 전시하여 전쟁의 긴장감과 리얼리티를 보여주고 있으며, 유교 및 불교 등 전통문화에 근거한 상징요소를 도입하여 추모감을 높였다. 5. 기념조각이나 기념벽에 그림을 그리거나 사진을 이용한 사실적 표현을 강조하였다. 또한 상징적 문구로서 자주 사용되고 있는 'TO-QUOC-GHI-CONG 토국기공(士-國-記-功)'에서 전사자의 업적과 국가적 관심을 나타냈으며, 이와 반대로'Quagmire'는 미군 참전용사들이 베트남에서 겪은 혼란스럽고 어려운 전투 상황과 베트남전쟁에 대한 미국사회의 혼돈을 묘사하는 정치사회적인 메타포(metaphor)로서 사용되었다. 베트남전쟁 메모리얼에는 민족주의, 애국주의, 사회주의, 자본주의 등 다양한 이데올로기가 복합되어 있고, 유교 불교 도교 음양오행사상이 잘 나타났다. 한편, 유교적 전통에도 불구하고 베트남전쟁에서 영웅적 여성의 모습을 강조하였으며, 일부 메모리얼에서 베트남전쟁에 대한 국내 외적 갈등이 내포되었다. 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 하여 향후 미국에 있는 베트남전쟁 메모리얼의 설계특성을 연구하여 전쟁에 대한 인식 및 기념문화적 특성에 대한 비교연구가 필요하다.

The exchange rate is considered a tool improving the volume of exports and reducing imports. This paper aims to determine the impact of the exchange rate on exports and imports between Vietnam and the United States in the context of the trade war. The research uses Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) and Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (NARDL) Model in the time-series data from 2010:1 to 2020:9. The ARDL's results support that real exchange rate impact on export and import volumes, but less than the trade war. The trade war helps trade balance increase 0.35%, while the exchange rate increases trade balance 0.191% when the Vietnamese currency devalues 1% in the long run. In the short term, the real exchange rate makes the trade balance decrease. Therefore, the J curve exists between Vietnam and the U.S. The NARDL expresses that the exchange rate is asymmetric both in the short term and the long term. The findings of this study point to two important elements. Firstly, the exchange rate plays a minor role in exports and imports. Secondly, trade war plays a vital role in increasing exports and imports volume between two countries, and the J curve exists between the two countries.

The Republic of Korean Navy (ROKN) started from scratch. However, ROKN demonstrated its Blue Navy capabilities successfully to the entire world by conducting "Operation Early Dawn" at the Aden Bay, Yemen in Jan 2011. On the event of the 70th anniversary of the ROKN, I would like to retrospect past gleaning from voyages and challenges we had in the past. At the very inception of the ROKN, Korean government as well as senior military leaders recognized that it had no time to spare to clean up military those were insinuated deeply by communist agents. It was the top priority of the government. The Mongumpo Operation which was not well known, conducted by ROKN was one of the clean-up drive. The Korean War sometimes called as "a fire from land put-off at the sea". The world famous "Incheon Landing" which reversed war situation from the Nakdong Perimeter also done by Sea Power. ROKN conducted various maritime operations including not only Incheon Landing, but amphibious operation at Hungnam, mine sweeping, sea convoy, Wonsan Withdrawal. On the same day of the Korean War started, 25th June 1950, unless the victory of the ROKNS Baekdusan (PC 701) at the Korean Strait, the waning lamp light of Korea could not be rekindled by the participation of the U.N. The ROKN rescued the 17th regiment of Korean Army from the isolation at the Ongjin Peninsular and transported gold and silver bars stored at the Bank of Korea to the Navy supply deposit in Jinhae safely. ROKN special intelligence unit conducted critical HUMINT which led Incheon Landing success. One of important mission ROKN conducted successfully was not only transporting war fighting materials but also U.S. provided grains to starving Koreans. ROKN participated Vietnam campaign from 1960s and conducted numerous maritime transportation operations supplying materials to Vietnam military forces along the long coastal lines. Experienced Naval Officers and enlisted men who discharged and acquired as merchant marine certificate supported most of the U.S. sea lift operations throughout the Vietnam campaign. ROK-US Combined Forces which had been honed and improved its war fighting capabilities through the Korean War and out of Vietnam jungle playing key deterrent against threat from north Korea. However, those threat level will be completely different when north Korea finish its nuclear weapon ambition. In order to stand firm against north Korean nuclear threat, I would like to expect strong political leadership supporting nuclear submarine for ROKN.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between Vietnam experience including exposure to military herbicides and cancer incidence in Korean Vietnam War veterans. Methods: The cancer cases of 185 265 Vietnam veterans from January 1, 1992 to December 31, 2003 were confirmed from the Korea National Cancer Incidence Database. The age-adjusted incidence and standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were calculated using the male population during 1992 to 2003 as a standard population. Results: The age-adjusted overall cancer incidence per 100 000 person-years was 455.3 in Vietnam veterans. The overall cancer incidence was slightly yet significantly lower in veterans (SIR, 0.97; 95% confidence interval, 0.95 to 0.99) than in the general population. The overall cancer incidence in enlisted soldiers was not lower (SIR, 1.00), whereas that in officers was significantly lower (SIR, 0.87) than in the general population. The incidences of prostate cancer and T-cell lymphoma in all veterans, and lung cancer and bladder cancer in enlisted soldiers, and colon cancer and kidney cancer in non-commissioned officers, and colon cancer, kidney cancer, and prostate cancer in officers, were higher than in the general population. The SIR for overall cancer among Vietnam veterans rose from 0.92 for 1992-1997 to 0.99 for 1998-2003. Conclusions: The overall cancer incidence in Vietnam veterans was not higher than in the general male population. Vietnam veterans and military rank subcohorts experienced a higher incidence of several cancers, including prostate cancer, T-cell lymphoma, lung cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, and colon cancer than the general population. The SIR for overall cancer increased over time in Vietnam veterans.
