The Military Order of the World WarsGREATER BOSTON CHAPTER

MEETING OF 13 October 2015

From Left: BG Joe Milano, BG Gary Keefe, Our Guest Speaker, BG Stuart Tuaber, Chapter Commander Fred Maguire

In the Boston area, after an initial greeting and the customary inquiry of health, the first remarks always relate to the weather. 13 October was an unremarkable day, showers in the morning, clearing later and then lovely sunshine in the afternoon with mild temperatures. But on approaching our usual luncheon venue, the Union Oyster House, one passes by the small park shared by the Holocaust

Memorial and the statues of the legendary Boston Mayor James Michael Curley. The trees were magnificent, absolutely blazing with Fall colors: there was every shade of yellow, orange and red mixing with the green leaves that had not yet turned color. It was tranquil, marvelous sight in the heart of the city.

Our Chapter Commander, LTC Fred Maguire, opened the meeting with the usual procedures: a pledge of allegiance to the flag, a recitation of the

- 3 -

MOWW preamble by COL Larry Willwerth and an invocation by COL Ed Graham. In addition to our guest speaker, BG Gary Keefe, the Commanding Officer of the Massachusetts Air National Guard and also Assistant Adjutant General of Massachusetts, we were honored by the presence of our Region I Commander, LTC Dennis Christo, USA (Ret.) and also the Professor of Air Science at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, LTC Brian Noe, who was accompanied by the cadet commander of the ROTC battalion there, Cadet LTC Patrick Mealey. [Above from left: COL Ed Graham, MG Bob Davenport, BG Joe Milano. LTC Walt Stamper is in the background.]

After reports from our Adjutant and Finance Officer, Fred Maguire reviewed a few aspects of old and new business. Region I Commander, LTC Dennis Christo also addressed the meeting to mention a few Regional issues and invite all members to the Region I meeting scheduled for 28 November at the Mount Vernon Restaurant in Somerville. [More information on that subject is shown below.] Jason Sokolov reported on the funeral of CAPT Ed Bryant, USCG (Ret.) at

which he, CAPT Earl Kishida and CDR Bob Gillen attended and conveyed the condolences of the Chapter to Ed’s widow, Mary Lou, and members of Ed’s family. [Above, Region I Commander LTC Dennis Christo addresses the meeting]

After a break for lunch, Fred Maguire introduced our guest speaker, BG Keefe, who in addition to a long military career and present status as head of the Massachusetts Air National Guard, and Deputy Adjutant General, is the son of a former Massachusetts Adjutant General.

General Keefe briefed the meeting extensively on the composition of both the Air and land forces of the Guard, and upgrades to its equipment, bases and other facilities. He dealt extensively with the challenges facing the Guard for the future, with particular reference to coordination imperatively required with Homeland Security, US Army North, USCG and various first responders, the attempt to confer broadened legal authority on a standing or continuing basis to avoid delay in responding to emergencies and to reduce paperwork in general as a barrier to response. Interestingly, General Keefe noted that since 9/11, although total force strength runs a bit over 8,000 (2,000+ in the Air National Guard, 6,100+ in ground forces) a total of 10,306 Guard personnel have been deployed to various postings outside of Massachusetts. An interesting portion of his speech was devoted to the response of the Guard to last winter’s terrible snowfall. Among other statistics, General Keefe noted that more than 3,000 truckloads of snow had been removed from urban areas representing about 120,600 yards of clearance. Obviously, hurricane and other responses (such as to the 2013 Marathon Bombing) were now in the planning of the Guard. He noted growing cross-recognition of military courses by civilian organizations, such as the agreement of the Massachusetts Police Academy to grant up to 60 hours of course credit to graduates of the Air Force Security School. An intriguing part of the presentation was the reference by General Keefe to the partnership program of the Guard with the armed forces of Paraguay, which has continued successfully for 15 years, and the new partnership in prospect with the armed forces of Kenya. Budget issues are continuing challenges for Guard units around the country and issues of increasing cooperation with other agencies, especially federal organizations remain tasks to be addressed. Showing a bit of humor during the question and answer period, General Keefe remarked that it was often stated that “Air Force service was a nice alternative to military service.”

At the conclusion of the Q & A session, Fred Maguire presented General Keefe with a plaque honoring his service to the Nation, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the Guard in thanks for his visit and speech to the Chapter [see below].

NEW MEMBERSWe are pleased and honored to announce that MG L. Scott Rice, the Adjutant General of Massachusetts will become a member of the Greater Boston Chapter. General Rice was our guest speaker last April. In addition, we have received word that others currently active in the Massachusetts National Guard are considering membership in our Chapter. Welcome General Rice! We hope to see you and your colleagues at many Chapter meetings and activities. The Guard has been very well represented among our companions by LTC Martin Spellacy and W/O Robert Norton. LTC Spellacy gave a very informative speech last year on the Guard’s response to the Marathon Bombing.

MEMBERSHIP POLICIES FOR 2015-2016At the most recent staff meeting on 16 September, the .

There will be a continuation of the highly successful subsidy program for newly-enrolled members who elect to join as perpetual members. The Chapter will reimburse $100 to those taking advantage of that opportunity. The same $100 subsidy will be offered to any member who converts from annual dues-payer status to perpetual membership. Please contact our Finance Officer, Mike Lavey, to implement this benefit.

As a special awards program that we have offered in recent years, outstanding students at the various local ROTC, NROTC and AFROTC programs will be awarded perpetual memberships by the Chapter. Up to eight such awards have been authorized. Certain members have contributed to the cost of this program, and additional donations are most welcome. We consider this program vital for the continuation of the Chapter into the distant future, and the quality of the young officers selected in past years has included some exceptional young people.

REGION I MEETING – 28 NOVEMBERDetailed information on this meeting will be distributed by special email in the next few weeks. All companions are invited and the venue is local. We will meet at the Mt. Vernon Restaurant on Broadway in Somerville at 0930 on Saturday, 28 November. Representatives of all New England Chapters will attend

YLC PROGRAM WILL BE CONTINUEDAt the recent staff meeting, the decision was made to continue our support of the Youth Leadership Conference program. We have voted to fund up to ten students this year. Here is the background. For many years we would pass a basket at meetings for donations in support of the Youth Leadership Conferences. It was suggested that members donate $5 per meeting, or $50 per year, to the support of this worthwhile outreach program. Most companions are aware that the Chapter, along with all others in the New England Region (Region I), sponsors a program of patriotic education for high school students in conjunction with Norwich University. Our Chapter provides volunteer instructors and defrays transportation costs of Boston area students in traveling to and from Vermont. A few years ago the decision was made to stop collecting at luncheon meetings, but ask companions to consider providing their donations by check (which provides a record for tax-deduction purposes). Any amount is welcome for the support of this worthy effort, and if you can do so, $50 is the suggested annual donation. Checks

should be made payable to “Greater Boston Chapter – MOWW” and either given to our finance officer, LTC Mike Lavey, at a meeting or sent to him at: 54 Villagewood Rd, Burlington, MA 01803.

The National HQ award to a YLC student went to Mark O. General of Washington, NJ, as the winner of the 2014 Phoenician Award, a $2,000 scholarship. He attended the New England conference YLC at Norwich University and is profiled on page 21 of the September 2015 of Officer Review. His winning essay appears on the following page.

1 DECEMBER: OUR ANNUAL HOLIDAY PARTY

This is a favorite event on the Chapter’s calendar for many companions, their spouses and guests. It is a purely social event giving us a chance to enjoy a meeting with a minimum of ordinary Chapter business. In accordance with our custom, there will be no speaker, but our Chapter Commander will offer a few remarks and, of course, it is an appropriate moment to acknowledge those who have made special efforts during the year in furtherance of the work of the Chapter and the Order. Red and white wine will be available at all tables. Please make it a priority to join us for the opening of the holiday season.

REMEMBERING THE GREAT WAR2015: The Bombing of London, Poison Gas, and the

Sinking of the LusitaniaThe 100th anniversary of these three events, so disturbing at the time, are being remembered again today and, indeed, the distant echo of those events appears daily in our news reports. . Having first conducted an air raid in Belgium that resulted in civilian casualties, the German Army and Navy commenced a campaign of air attacks against London in January of 1915 which continued into 1917.. It was the first extended air campaign against a city, beginning with the use of Zeppelin and Schutte-Lanz airships and continuing with aircraft. Considerable resources were used in the effort which involved 84 airships, of which 30 were lost by anti-aircraft fire and accidents. Material damage was

inconsiderable, but 557 were killed and 1358 injured. In 27 raids by aircraft, 246,744 pounds of bombs were dropped, but again the material damage was not significant in relation to the resources expended. The Germans lost 62 aircraft, and killed 835, and injured 1,972. Bombing accuracy was horrendous. Bomb drops were often miles off-target. Paris was also bombed. In January of 1915 the German Army tried to use poison gas against Russian troops on the Eastern Front during the Battle of Bolimow. Although 18,000 gas-loaded shells containing a form of tear gas were fired, the initiative was a complete failure as wind currents blew some of the gas back on German troops and the cold weather rendered the gas inert.

However, in the six engagements comprising the Second Battle of Ypres, 22 April to 25 May, 1915, poison gas was introduced on the Western Front. Gas cylinders were used and the wind was relied upon to carry chlorine gas to French Territorial, Moroccan and Algerian colonial troops. One of history’s greatest chemists famous for his work in fertilizer production, a Nobel laureate, Fritz Haber, was commissioned a captain in the German Army, and was appointed to supervise the mission. He recruited three future Nobel laureates to serve in with him this capacity: James Franck, Gustav Hertz and Otto Hahn. This

crude method of release injured or killed many German soldiers, but was effective. One negative effect for the German Army was that many of its soldiers were highly reluctant to advance into areas where the gas clouds were seen. It was said that about 7,000 gas casualties resulted among French and Canadian troops, and although gaps in the lines were created, they were eventually stabilized. [Ironically, Haber, an ardent German patriot, later lived for a time in exile in France and England and lost family members to Nazi extermination camps.]

Although the German Embassy published a warning in American newspapers of the danger, 128 American citizens died on the SS Lusitania when it was torpedoed by the submarine U-20 on 7 May 1915. There was no warning of the attack, and she went down in 18 minutes about 18 miles off the Irish coast

- 10 -

carrying 1,191 people to their deaths (among 1,962 total passengers and crew). Even though the danger was announced in advance along with the intention of the German Government to pursue unrestricted submarine warfare, the sinking was clearly in violation of international law and the Hague Conventionsof 1899 and 1907. The sinking is always cited as a major incitement for the United States to enter the War as a combatant nation in April of 1917.

Having said all this, why were these three events so important when they occurred, and why do we even remember them today? Why are they not merely obscure and forgotten footnotes among thousands of references to the appalling carnage everywhere in Europe and at sea during WW I? Scholars have many answers to that question. One answer might be that we remember these events as historical landmarks simply because during the 19th Century and into the early years of the 20th, there was a general sense that European – i.e., Western – civilization was advancing beyond primitive savagery that was present in earlier history. From pre-modern beginnings with Papal Bulls and other efforts in the Middle Ages, religious authorities attempted to impose limits on the conduct of war, the treatment of prisoners, non-combatants and wounded, and the protection of civilians from starvation and attacks. Building on the philosophy of required limits of the conduct of war, nations brought these ideas into the world of diplomacy. Those efforts resulted in the Declaration of Paris of 1856, the two Hague Conventions, the Geneva Convention and numerous other treaties. These three events might also be said to have begunthe modern debate of whether a combatant party should adhere to self-imposed limits of morality in the conduct of war, or whether the rule of expedience is the only rule that applies. Expedience is the notion that if something can be done that is of advantage to a warring side, there is no reason or excuse for not doing it. These competing approaches set the question the world has been debating for the last 100 years right into tonight’s news reports.

Although the conduct of World War I and its second chapter in WW II led to widespread disillusionmentconcerning the ability and willingness of people and their governments to adhere to standards developed in peacetime for application to war, international organizations continue to hope for improvement. Therefore, we have arms-limitations treaties, non-proliferation treaties, international reactions in the

- 11 -

form of coalitions in opposition unprovoked hostilities, such as the invasion of defenseless Kuwait by Iraq, and the application of new non-violent, but aggressive, techniques to discourage international adventurism such as economic sanctions. Obviously, international treaties limiting national options in the time of war is a relinquishment of an aspect national sovereignty and a substitution of international standards for purely national decisions. [The parallel development of general agreements assigning what were

once national powers to world organizations, such as the World Court, is another aspect of the growing movement of World Federalism, based what may be described as optimistic attitudes of the potential for international cooperation and the rule of law universally applied.] This debate continues today in all news media. Discussions of the appropriateness of drone and cyber-attacks, techniques of interrogation, detention and prosecution of illegal combatants and their civilian supporters, economic warfare, and other diplomatic initiatives are and will continue to be debated throughout the foreseeable future. Whatapproach will prevail, and to what extent, is unclear but vitally important to the future of civilization. And once the discussion opens, we must realize that it has many layers. Is the small unit fighting in the field to be subject to the same rules as those applicable to rear-area operations? May potential terrorists be detained indefinitely without evidence of crimes having been committed? Do ethics change depending on the ruthlessness of the adversary? As risks to the nation or the national interest increase from one circumstance to another, does our attitude change regarding limits on conduct or the use of options? These issues assume greater and greater importance as we see the emergence of unusual international and regional conditions testing the national resolve and commitment to traditional principles of conduct in war conditions. .
