美军五大军歌蕴含的军人价值观古今中外,不同的历史时期、不同国家民族的军队,无不具有一个共同的传统,那就是都有属于自己的军歌。
军歌是由军队正式规定的代表本军队的歌曲,军人价值观在军歌中能得到最充分的体现。
对于军队来说,职业的特殊化注定军人要具有特定的价值观。
例如我军各大军种的军歌体现着“忠诚于党、热爱人民、报效国家、献身使命、崇尚荣誉”的军人核心价值观。
而美军的五大军歌是指陆军的《陆军永往直前》(the army goes rolling along)、海军的《起锚》(anchors aweigh)、空军的《空军歌》(wild, blue, yonder!)、海军陆战队的《海军陆战队赞歌》(marines’ hymn)以及海岸警卫队的《时刻准备着》(semper paratus)。
它们也都结合自身特点,把军人价值观糅合在各自军歌中。
一、忠诚忠诚于国家理念是美军军人价值观中最根本的一条。
美军将领马歇尔说:“忠诚是一个军队最大的财富,但是没有谁能靠嘴说做到对军队的忠诚。
”美军指出,对于真正的职业军人来说,对国家理念的忠诚意味着服务并保护美国《独立宣言》和《美国宪法》中所有的自由、正义、真理和平等的信仰。
对国家理念的忠诚是美军其它价值观的基础,自独立战争以来,美军就一直在保护这些理念而前赴后继,这也是军队不可推卸的责任。
美军的各大军种的军歌就很好的体现了这一点,例如《海军陆战队赞歌》(marines’ hymn)中的“我们为国家而战,在空中、陆地和大海上,首先为正义和自由而战”;《空军歌》(wild, blue, yonder!)里的“首先为正义而战,建立国家的权力”都展现了有关国家忠诚的内容。
二、责任美陆军前参谋长约翰·a·威克汉姆指出:“责任的精髓在于,没有命令或指示的情况下,基于内在的,为正确的道德和职业判断而行动。
”责任是对忠诚的基本表述,它要求每个人都要为自己所忠诚的事业负责。
麦克阿瑟告别演讲:老兵不死道格拉斯·麦克阿瑟是美国著名军事将领,1944年授衔五星上将,并且曾任菲律宾陆军元帅。今天给大家分享一篇麦克阿瑟告别的英文演讲,希望对大家有所帮助。麦克阿瑟告别演讲英文版:老兵不死Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, and Distinguished Members of the Congress:I stand on this rostrum with a sense of deep humility and great pride -- humility in the wake of those great American architects of our history who have stood here before me; pride in the reflection that this forum of legislative debate represents human liberty in the purest form yet devised. Here are centered the hopes and aspirations and faith of the entire human race. I do not stand here as advocate for any partisan cause, for the issues are fundamental and reach quite beyond the realm of partisan consideration. They must be resolved on the highest plane of national interest if our course is to prove sound and our future protected. I trust, therefore, that you will do me the justice of receiving that which I have to say assolely expressing the considered viewpoint of a fellow American.I address you with neither rancor nor bitterness in the fading twilight of life, with but one purpose in mind: to serve my country. The issues are global and so interlocked that to consider the problems of one sector, oblivious to those of another, is but to court disaster for the whole. While Asia is commonly referred to as the Gateway to Europe, it is no less true that Europe is the Gatewayto Asia, and the broad influence of the one cannot fail to have its impact upon the other. There are those who claim our strength is inadequate to protect on both fronts, that we cannot divide our effort. I can think of no greater expression of defeatism. If a potential enemy can divide his strength on two fronts, it is for usto counter his effort. The Communist threat is a global one. Its successful advance in one sector threatens the destruction of every other sector. You can not appease or otherwise surrender to communism in Asia without simultaneously undermining our efforts to halt its advance in Europe.Beyond pointing out these general truisms, I shall confine my discussion to the general areas of Asia. Before one may objectively assess the situation now existing there, he must comprehend something of Asia's past and the revolutionary changes which have marked her course up to the present. Long exploited by the so-called colonial powers, with little opportunity to achieve any degree of social justice, individual dignity, or a higher standard of life such as guided our own noble administration in the Philippines, the peoplesof Asia found their opportunity in the war just past to throw off the shackles of colonialism and now see the dawn of new opportunity, a heretofore unfelt dignity, and the self-respect of political freedom.Mustering half of the earth's population, and 60 percent of its natural resources these peoples are rapidly consolidating a new force, both moral and material, with which to raise the living standard and erect adaptations of the design of modern progress to their owndistinct cultural environments. Whether one adheres to the concept ofcolonization or not, this is the direction of Asian progress and it may not be stopped. It is a corollary to the shift of the world economic frontiers as the whole epicenter of world affairs rotates back toward the area whence it started.In this situation, it becomes vital that our own country orientits policies in consonance with this basic evolutionary condition rather than pursue a course blind to the reality that the colonialera is now past and the Asian peoples covet the right to shape their own free destiny. What they seek now is friendly guidance, understanding, and support -- not imperious direction -- the dignityof equality and not the shame of subjugation. Their pre-war standardof life, pitifully low, is infinitely lower now in the devastationleft in war's wake. World ideologies play little part in Asianthinking and are little understood. What the peoples strive for isthe opportunity for a little more food in their stomachs, a little better clothing on their backs, a little firmer roof over their heads, and the realization of the normal nationalist urge for political freedom. These political-social conditions have but an indirect bearing upon our own national security, but do form a backdrop to contemporary planning which must be thoughtfully considered if we are to avoid the pitfalls of unrealism.Of more direct and immediate bearing upon our national securityare the changes wrought in the strategic potential of the Pacific Ocean in the course of the past war. Prior thereto the western strategic frontier of the United States lay on the littoral line of the Americas, with an exposed island salient extending out throughHawaii, Midway, and Guam to the Philippines. That salient proved not an outpost of strength but an avenue of weakness along which the enemy could and did attack.The Pacific was a potential area of advance for any predatory force intent upon striking at the bordering land areas. All this was changed by our Pacific victory. Our strategic frontier then shifted to embrace the entire Pacific Ocean, which became a vast moat to protect us as long as we held it. Indeed, it acts as a protective shield for all of the Americas and all free lands of the Pacific Ocean area. We control it to the shores of Asia by a chain of islands extending in an arc from the Aleutians to the Mariannas held by us and our free allies. From this island chain we can dominate with sea and air power every Asiatic port from Vladivostok to Singapore -- with sea and air power every port, as I said, from Vladivostok to Singapore -- and prevent any hostile movement into the Pacific.*Any predatory attack from Asia must be an amphibious effort.* No amphibious force can be successful without control of the sea lanes and the air over those lanes in its avenue of advance. With naval and air supremacy and modest ground elements to defend bases, any major attack from continental Asia toward us or our friends in the Pacific would be doomed to failure.Under such conditions, the Pacific no longer represents menacing avenues of approach for a prospective invader. It assumes, instead, the friendly aspect of a peaceful lake. Our line of defense is a natural one and can be maintained with a minimum of military effort and expense. It envisions no attack against anyone, nor does itprovide the bastions essential for offensive operations, but properly maintained, would be an invincible defense against aggression. The holding of this littoral defense line in the western Pacific is entirely dependent upon holding all segments thereof; for any major breach of that line by an unfriendly power would render vulnerable to determined attack every other major segment.This is a military estimate as to which I have yet to find a military leader who will take exception. For that reason, I have strongly recommended in the past, as a matter of military urgency,that under no circumstances must Formosa fall under Communist control. Such an eventuality would at once threaten the freedom of the Philippines and the loss of Japan and might well force our western frontier back to the coast of California, Oregon and Washington.To understand the changes which now appear upon the Chinese mainland, one must understand the changes in Chinese character and culture over the past 50 years. China, up to 50 years ago, was completely non-homogenous, being compartmented into groups divided against each other. The war-making tendency was almost non-existent, as they still followed the tenets of the Confucian ideal of pacifist culture. At the turn of the century, under the regime of Chang Tso Lin, efforts toward greater homogeneity produced the start of a nationalist urge. This was further and more successfully developed under the leadership of Chiang Kai-Shek, but has been brought to its greatest fruition under the present regime to the point that it has now taken on the character of a united nationalism of increasingly dominant, aggressive tendencies.Through these past 50 years the Chinese people have thus become militarized in their concepts and in their ideals. They nowconstitute excellent soldiers, with competent staffs and commanders. This has produced a new and dominant power in Asia, which, for its own purposes, is allied with Soviet Russia but which in its own concepts and methods has become aggressively imperialistic, with alust for expansion and increased power normal to this type of imperialism.There is little of the ideological concept either one way or another in the Chinese make-up. The standard of living is so low and the capital accumulation has been so thoroughly dissipated by warthat the masses are desperate and eager to follow any leadershipwhich seems to promise the alleviation of local stringencies.I have from the beginning believed that the Chinese Communists' support of the North Koreans was the dominant one. Their interests are, at present, parallel with those of the Soviet. But I believethat the aggressiveness recently displayed not only in Korea but also in Indo-China and Tibet and pointing potentially toward the South reflects predominantly the same lust for the expansion of power which has animated every would-be conqueror since the beginning of time.The Japanese people, since the war, have undergone the greatest reformation recorded in modern history. With a commendable will, eagerness to learn, and marked capacity to understand, they have,from the ashes left in war's wake, erected in Japan an edifice dedicated to the supremacy of individual liberty and personal dignity; and in the ensuing process there has been created a trulyrepresentative government committed to the advance of political morality, freedom of economic enterprise, and social justice.Politically, economically, and socially Japan is now abreast of many free nations of the earth and will not again fail the universal trust. That it may be counted upon to wield a profoundly beneficial influence over the course of events in Asia is attested by the magnificent manner in which the Japanese people have met the recent challenge of war, unrest, and confusion surrounding them from the outside and checked communism within their own frontiers without the slightest slackening in their forward progress. I sent all four of our occupation divisions to the Korean battlefront without the slightest qualms as to the effect of the resulting power vacuum upon Japan. The results fully justified my faith. I know of no nation more serene, orderly, and industrious, nor in which higher hopes can be entertained for future constructive service in the advance of the human race.Of our former ward, the Philippines, we can look forward in confidence that the existing unrest will be corrected and a strong and healthy nation will grow in the longer aftermath of war'sterrible destructiveness. We must be patient and understanding and never fail them -- as in our hour of need, they did not fail us. A Christian nation, the Philippines stand as a mighty bulwark of Christianity in the Far East, and its capacity for high moral leadership in Asia is unlimited.On Formosa, the government of the Republic of China has had the opportunity to refute by action much of the malicious gossip which soundermined the strength of its leadership on the Chinese mainland.The Formosan people are receiving a just and enlightenedadministration with majority representation on the organs of government, and politically, economically, and socially they appearto be advancing along sound and constructive lines.With this brief insight into the surrounding areas, I now turn to the Korean conflict. While I was not consulted prior to thePresident's decision to intervene in support of the Republic of Korea, that decision from a military standpoint, proved a sound one, as we -- as I said, proved a sound one, as we hurled back the invader and decimated his forces. Our victory was complete, and our objectives within reach, when Red China intervened with numerically superior ground forces.This created a new war and an entirely new situation, a situation not contemplated when our forces were committed against the North Korean invaders; a situation which called for new decisions in the diplomatic sphere to permit the realistic adjustment of military strategy.Such decisions have not been forthcoming.While no man in his right mind would advocate sending our ground forces into continental China, and such was never given a thought,the new situation did urgently demand a drastic revision of strategic planning if our political aim was to defeat this new enemy as we had defeated the old.Apart from the military need, as I saw It, to neutralize the sanctuary protection given the enemy north of the Yalu, I felt thatmilitary necessity in the conduct of the war made necessary: first the intensification of our economic blockade against China; two the imposition of a naval blockade against the China coast; three removal of restrictions on air reconnaissance of China's coastal areas and of Manchuria; four removal of restrictions on the forces of the Republic of China on Formosa, with logistical support to contribute to their effective operations against the common enemy.For entertaining these views, all professionally designed to support our forces committed to Korea and bring hostilities to an end with the least possible delay and at a saving of countless American and allied lives, I have been severely criticized in lay circles, principally abroad, despite my understanding that from a military standpoint the above views have been fully shared in the past by practically every military leader concerned with the Korean campaign, including our own Joint Chiefs of Staff.I called for reinforcements but was informed that reinforcements were not available. I made clear that if not permitted to destroy the enemy built-up bases north of the Yalu, if not permitted to utilize the friendly Chinese Force of some 600,000 men on Formosa, if not permitted to blockade the China coast to prevent the Chinese Reds from getting succor from without, and if there were to be no hope of major reinforcements, the position of the command from the military standpoint forbade victory.We could hold in Korea by constant maneuver and in an approximate area where our supply line advantages were in balance with the supply line disadvantages of the enemy, but we could hope at best for onlyan indecisive campaign with its terrible and constant attrition upon our forces if the enemy utilized its full military potential. I have constantly called for the new political decisions essential to a solution.Efforts have been made to distort my position. It has been said,in effect, that I was a warmonger. Nothing could be further from the truth. I know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition,as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a means of settling international disputes. Indeed, on the second day of September, nineteen hundred and forty-five, just following the surrender of the Japanese nation on the Battleship Missouri, I formally cautioned as follows:Men since the beginning of time have sought peace. Variousmethods through the ages have been attempted to devise aninternational process to prevent or settle disputes between nations. From the very start workable methods were found in so far asindividual citizens were concerned, but the mechanics of an instrumentality of larger international scope have never been successful. Military alliances, balances of power, Leagues of Nations, all in turn failed, leaving the only path to be by way of thecrucible of war. The utter destructiveness of war now blocks out this alternative. We have had our last chance. If we will not devise some greater and more equitable system, Armageddon will be at our door.The problem basically is theological and involves a spiritual recrudescence and improvement of human character that willsynchronize with our almost matchless advances in science, art, literature, and all material and cultural developments of the past2XXX years. It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh.But once war is forced upon us, there is no other alternative than to apply every available means to bring it to a swift end.War's very object is victory, not prolonged indecision.In war there is no substitute for victory.There are some who, for varying reasons, would appease Red China. They are blind to history's clear lesson, for history teaches with unmistakable emphasis that appeasement but begets new and bloodier war. It points to no single instance where this end has justifiedthat means, where appeasement has led to more than a sham peace. Like blackmail, it lays the basis for new and successively greater demands until, as in blackmail, violence becomes the only other alternative."Why," my soldiers asked of me, "surrender military advantages to an enemy in the field?" I could not answer.Some may say: to avoid spread of the conflict into an all-out war with China; others, to avoid Soviet intervention. Neither explanation seems valid, for China is already engaging with the maximum power it can commit, and the Soviet will not necessarily mesh its actions with our moves. Like a cobra, any new enemy will more likely strike whenever it feels that the relativity in military or other potential is in its favor on a world-wide basis.The tragedy of Korea is further heightened by the fact that its military action is confined to its territorial limits. It condemns that nation, which it is our purpose to save, to suffer thedevastating impact of full naval and air bombardment while theenemy's sanctuaries are fully protected from such attack and devastation.Of the nations of the world, Korea alone, up to now, is the sole one which has risked its all against communism. The magnificence of the courage and fortitude of the Korean people defies description.They have chosen to risk death rather than slavery. Their last words to me were: "Don't scuttle the Pacific!"I have just left your fighting sons in Korea. They have met all tests there, and I can report to you without reservation that they are splendid in every way.It was my constant effort to preserve them and end this savage conflict honorably and with the least loss of time and a minimum sacrifice of life. Its growing bloodshed has caused me the deepest anguish and anxiety.Those gallant men will remain often in my thoughts and in my prayers always.I am closing my 52 years of military service. When I joined the Army, even before the turn of the century, it was the fulfillment of all of my boyish hopes and dreams. The world has turned over many times since I took the oath on the plain at West Point, and the hopes and dreams have long since vanished, but I still remember the refrain of one of the most popular barrack ballads of that day which proclaimed most proudly that "old soldiers never die; they just fade away."And like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty.Good Bye.。
《⽼兵不死》——麦克阿瑟的告别演讲道格拉斯·麦克阿瑟(Douglas MacArthur),美国陆军五星上将。
出⽣于阿肯⾊州⼩⽯城的军⼈世家。
1899年中学毕业后考⼊西点军校,1903年以名列第⼀的优异成绩毕业,到⼯程兵部队任职,并赴菲律宾执勤。
麦克阿瑟有过50年的军事实践经验,被美国国民称之为“⼀代⽼兵”,⽽其⾃⾝的⼜曾是“美国最年轻的准将、西点军校最年轻的校长、美国陆军历史上最年轻的陆军参谋长”,凭借精妙的军事谋略和敢战敢胜的胆略,麦克阿瑟堪称美国战争史上的奇才。
提起这句话:“⽼兵永远不死,只会慢慢凋零”(Old soldiers never die, they just fade away),就不由得想起那个叼着⽟⽶棒⼦烟⽃的麦克阿瑟,和他在1951年4⽉19⽇被解职后在国会⼤厦发表的题为《⽼兵不死》的著名演讲。
道格拉斯·麦克阿瑟《⽼兵不死》》——麦克阿瑟的告别演讲今天早晨,当我⾛出旅馆时,看门⼈问道:“将军,您上哪去?”⼀听说我要去西点,他说:“那是个好地⽅,您从前去过吗?”这样的荣誉是没有⼈不受感动的。
长期以来,我从事这个职业,⼜如此热爱这个民族,能获得这样的荣誉简直使我⽆法表达我的感情。
然⽽,这种奖赏主要并不意味着对个⼈的尊崇,⽽是象征⼀个伟⼤的道德准则——捍卫这块可爱⼟地上的⽂化与古⽼传统的那些⼈的⾏为与品质的准则。
这就是这个⼤奖章的意义。
⽆论现在还是将来,它都是美国军⼈道德标准的⼀种体现。
我⼀定要遵循这个标准,结合崇⾼的理想,唤起⾃豪感,同时始终保持谦虚……责任-荣誉-国家。
这三个神圣的名词庄严地提醒你应该成为怎样的⼈,可能成为怎样的⼈,⼀定要成为怎样的⼈。
它们将使你精神振奋,在你似乎丧失勇⽓时⿎起勇⽓,似乎没有理由相信时重建信念,⼏乎绝望时产⽣希望。
遗憾的很,我既没有雄辩的词令、诗意的想象,也没有华丽的隐喻向你们说明它们的意义。
怀疑者⼀定要说它们只不过是⼏个名词,⼀句⼝号,⼀个空洞的短语。
军事家马歇尔的简介乔治马歇尔是历史上著名的军事家,并且在外交等方面还有着非常出色的表现,陆军五星。
1945后出任美国国务卿和国防部长,以出台马歇尔计划闻名,1953年获诺贝尔和平奖。
下面是店铺搜集整理的军事家马歇尔的简介,希望对你有帮助。
军事家马歇尔的简介乔治·卡特莱特·马歇尔(George Catlett Marshall,1880.12.31~1959.10.16),美国军事家、政治家、外交家,陆军五星。
他是一位从未亲自带兵打仗而仅仅凭藉在作战图上挥动小小一支红蓝铅笔,就众望所归地获得了五星的最高军衔的参谋军官。
他于1901年毕业于弗吉尼亚军校,参加过第一次世界大战。
1924年夏到1927年春末,在美军驻天津第15步兵团任主任参谋,学习了汉语。
1939年任美国陆军参谋长,在第二次世界大战中,他帮助富兰克林·德拉诺·罗斯福出谋划策,坚持先攻纳粹德国再攻日本帝国,为美国在二战的胜利作了不可磨灭的贡献。
军事家马歇尔的生平1901年9月,马歇尔以全校第8名的成绩毕业。
院长希普认为;“如果乔治马歇尔被任命为陆军军官,将会青云直上,远远超过西点军校的一般毕业生。
”马歇尔本人如何看待自己的军校生活呢?1904年2月3日,马歇尔宣誓就任美国陆军。
这时菲律宾驻有美军3万5千人,维持某种“和平”,战事已缓。
年轻的服役两年,没有参加战斗,但经历了丛林环境和疫病的考验。
他的老成持重和公正无私很受上级赞赏。
1903年夏,马歇尔回到美国,被派往俄克拉何马地区的雷诺堡。
妻子身体不好,仍不能与他同行。
马歇尔在雷诺堡的出色表现受到上级注意。
1906年他被选进利文沃思堡进修班进修。
进修学员都是以上的军官,他是唯一的。
一年后他以名列第一的成绩获得继续深造的资格。
这时,妻子搬到利文沃思堡与他同住。
但是疾病使她无法与丈夫过正常的夫妻生活,也无法生育。
虽然如此,马歇尔与妻子一直相亲相爱,外人以为他们的婚姻生活完美无缺。

美国陆军军官的服役誓言
大多数人类文化都非常重视誓言,美国陆军文化也不例外。
有两个原因。
首先,指挥官的言论往往决定着士兵的生死;即使在和平时期,即使在驻地,指挥官的行为都会给士兵留下印象,或给士兵做出示范,这些印象或示范会在未来战场上产生重大影响。
指挥官的言论必须无懈可击。
誓言是所有诺言中最神圣的。
美国军人在服役或再次服役时,必须立下以下誓言:
我庄严宣誓,我将支持并捍卫美利坚合众国宪法,反对国内外一切敌人的侵害;我将信守并忠于宪法;我将根据条例和《军事司法统一法典》之规定,服从美利坚合众国总统的命令和上级指挥官的命令。
愿上帝保佑我。
陆军军官立下以下誓言:
我(姓名),已被任命为美国陆军军官(军衔),我庄严宣誓,我将支持并捍卫美利坚合众国宪法,反对国内外一切敌人;我将信守并忠于宪法;我自愿接受这一职责,内心毫无隐讳,也无意逃避;我将彻底而忠实地履行我将担负的职责。
愿上帝保佑我。
二者之间的区别很明显,但其意义或许不太明显。
不过,首先让我们找出所有美国军人的共同之处。
所有美国军人必须支持并捍卫美国宪法,防止其遭到国内外敌人破坏,忠诚于美国式的政府和生活。
这要求勇气、承诺、自律、无私,以及对国民的尊重。
军官誓词与士兵誓词的差异——军官誓词中省略了“服从”——决定了陆军军官与士兵之间的差别。
军官从法律上必须同样受《军事司法统一法典》中服从命令要求的约束,这和士兵一样,但从誓词上看,他们从道德上不受约束。
虽然乍一看,这似乎是“矛盾的思想”,其实不然。
军官的任免是由美国人民(包括士兵)通过国会众议员来审批的,他们肩负巨大的道德责任,即知道何时可以不服从命令。
任何体制,无论如何深思熟虑,无论看上去如何完善,都不可能像变戏法一样制定出适应所有情况的规则。
陆军条例、命令、条令等基本上总是正确的,但是,无论什么法典,其逻辑或判断力有时候可能也需要一些变化。
这时候就需要军官的参与。
军官应当运用合理的判断,有时候——这种情况很少,但并不是没有——需要他们打破常规或进行变通;需要他们不执行那些当时不符合陆军最高利益的指令、规章和命令。
这是一名军官所能承担的最巨大的责任。
这种道德使命绝不能用来获取个人利益或者达到其他罪恶目的。
而且,尽管军官从道德上说拥有可以不执行命令的权力,但仍然要为自己的行为承担法律和道义上的责任。
如果某一位军官在特殊情况下做出了打破常规的判断,他的主官有权决定是否行使自己的裁决权来对其进行起诉。
这听起来显得有些冒险,事实上确实如此。
绝对不要轻易做出不执行命令的决定,对于每一项命令、指令、标准作战规定和规章,正确的态度几乎总是迅速愉快地服从。
但是,知道什么时候不能服从——并且坚持这么做——这正是美国陆军军官与士兵之间的本质区别。
在美国陆军中,这种审时度势,能够完整而准确地理解这些决策在法律与道德上会造成何种影响的能力,是求之不得的。
