Though customarily peaceful animals this year's horse is one which in military service. As such it is necessary for the horse not only to obey orders, but in many cases to act against its natural inclination. With the discipline of military training also comes a heightened sense of loyalty. Sadly this can be at the cost of understanding and compassion, so be careful so that you are not unduly harsh or too quick to judge. Life for the "Horse in the Military" is not an easy one, and sometimes there is an inclination to kick out in frustration and anger. This is rarely done to superiors, and therefore it is more likely that your close friends and family will bear the brunt of your dissatisfaction. Be aware that this is likely and be ready to apologise for outbursts or unfair comments.

Admittedly, the group is facing an uphill battle. The Kashmir question has long been a point of debate for both India and Pakistan, and nationalistic sentiments surrounding the issue color the opinions of Indians and Pakistani people everywhere. Central to the debate behind Kashmir is a 1947 United Nations resolution to allow each of the former British Indian states to determine, by referendum, their affiliation with either Pakistan or India.

Daniel Inouye, the Hawaiian Democrat, who lost his right arm in combat in Italy. More than 100,000 Japanese American civilians were detained in World War II in internment camps on the unproven suspicion that they could be enemy agents; many Asian Americans who served in the U.S. military were passed over for honors and suffered other discrimination. Nineteen of the 21 men were members of either the 100th Infantry Battalion or the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, both of which were all-volunteer units and were among the most decorated units in U.S. military history. In addition to the 21, a Medal of Honor recommendation for another Japanese American, James Okubo, has been okayed but cannot be formally approved until Congress waives a statutory time limit for his case.

Dr. Yang will take you through a comparative history of Taiwanese Americans and Asian Americans, alluding to challenges, stereotypes, and victories that you may have already experienced without knowing it. H ello everyone! Welcome to the workshop. My name is Bruce Yang. The objective of this workshop is to discuss the role of Taiwanese American in Asian American history. Have you wondered how Taiwanese Americans fit into Asian American history? How are Taiwanese Americans unique to other Asian groups? Like most Asian immigrants, Taiwanese immigrants came to this country for the land of freedom and pursue of endless opportunities. Like most Asian Americans, Taiwanese Americans in this country also have to face the American culture of racial stereotyping, institutional discrimination, and deep seeded anti-Asian sentiment. Despite these challenges, like most Asian Americans, Taiwanese Americans have excelled and succeeded in various professions and different fields. But unlike most other Asian Americans, Taiwanese Americans constantly have to face a marginalization of our Taiwanese American identity. For example, a typical conversation goes like this:

Conclusion Throughout the twentieth century, the American military has brought together cultural, religious, and racial groups even when civilian life has been characterized by considerable prejudice towards such groups. Indeed, military integration has often proceeded at a faster pace than civilian integration. Consider five examples from the past century: At the beginning of the twentieth century, tensions between Catholics and Protestants were extremely high, anti-immigrant sentiment was at its peak, and marriages across ethnic and religious lines were rare. Native-born Americans fled their neighborhoods as immigrants moved in while Irish, Jews, and Italians fled from one another. Despite these hostilities in the civilian world, the military placed foreign-born soldiers from a variety of ethnic and religious backgrounds into integrated units during World War I. "It is not the policy of the United States Army," wrote Brigadier General Harvey Jervey, "to encourage or permit the formation of distinctive brigades, regiments, battalions or other organizations composed exclusively or primarily of members of any race, creed, political or social group." The policy worked. According to one distinguished historian, "Many regiments drew on servicemen from every region of the country and from every religion and European nationality. Sometimes together for as long as four years, these units became extraordinary vehicles for melding the many streams of Euro-Americans into one."

Extractions: Geneva students encounter such texts in the context of an English Department program labeled, according to a French-style conception, American Literature and Civilization, whence an implicit centering on things American. It is also true that the courses on option tend to emphasize culture studies under such headings as American Writing in Cultural Context or, on the introductory level, American Culture Studies for a designated nonstandard period of time, as 1820-1840 or 1918-1940, periods long enough to engage broad issues of change and continuity in American cultural time. Nonetheless these students are fundamentally unacquainted with US culture when they approach Asian American texts, even if they are in a position of trying to use such writings to improve their comprehension of the USA as a long-standing immigration society. The result is a broad perspective on such texts and the experiential phenomena they represent.

Extractions: Seven of the 21 recipients are still living. They are: Rudolph B. Davila of Vista, Calif.; Barney F. Hajiro of Waipahu, Hawaii; Shizuya Hayashi of Pearl City, Hawaii; U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye of Honolulu, Hawaii; Yeiki Kobashigawa of Hawaii (city not available); Yukio Okutsu of Hilo, Hawaii; and George T. Sakato of Denver. The 100th, comprised mostly of Japanese American National Guardsmen from Hawaii, was the first all-Japanese American combat unit. While the 442nd was being formed in 1943, the 100th Battalion was already fighting in Italy. The 100th merged into the 442nd in 1944 and became the regiment's first battalion though it retained its unit designation.
