  • Unheard voices: foreign journalists' coverage of vietnamese prisoners during the American War in Vietnam
    Item type: Journal Article
    Berni, Marcel (2024)
    Small Wars & Insurgencies
    This article examines how foreign journalists covered the Vietnam War by focusing on how they reported on the treatment of Vietnamese detainees. As transnational actors, reporters created sources that linked the local conflict in Southeast Asia to perceptions in the wider world. Unlike the coverage of the My Lai massacre, the many reports on the fate of Vietnamese prisoners had no serious impact on public attitudes or Congressional appropriations. By providing a classification of the various acts of violence covered, this article highlights the discrepancies between the prevailing official narratives and what reporters actually witnessed in the jungles of Vietnam.
  • The challenges of military adaptation to the cyber domain: a case study of the Netherlands
    Item type: Journal Article
    Smeets, Max Willem Eline (2023)
    Small Wars & Insurgencies
    Whilst NATO speaks increasingly publicly about the military use of cyber opera-tions, adaptation to the cyber domain has reportedly been challenging for most militaries. Little research has sought to understand the nature of these chal-lenges. This study seeks to address this gap through a case study of the Netherlands. By utilizing a range of primary and secondary sources, this article reveals that the Dutch Defense Cyber Command has faced significant con-straints in its adaptation to the cyber domain, primarily due to issues related to organizational structure, operational mandate, and the availability of skills and resources. A cyber command that lacks regular opportunities for day-to-day operations and where personnel may not have continuous learning opportu-nities to acquire and refine their skills will encounter difficulties in recruiting, training, and retaining a proficient workforce. These findings highlight the tendency of observers to mistakenly equate the mere establishment of a cyber command with the existence of a robust military cyber capability – namely, the ability to effectively carry out and sustain a range of cyber opera-tions for tactical or strategic purposes.
