The Columbia Critic

A place to debate anything we want to. We'll talk Columbia campus issues. We'll talk up the homosexual problem. We'll talk China. And we'll talk without resorting to partisan rhetoric. We may be left. We may be right. But we aren't going to be quoting any party line. We're leading the discussion. But feel free to chime in. Hannity and Colmes this is not.

Wrestling the Military-Academic Complex

http://www.alternet.org/story/18570/

A very interesting article. Overly critical in my opinion (as one who is able to afford college thanks to the Military-Academic complex) but it grants quite a comprehensive purview of the great amount of academic research, analysis, and funding that goes into our defense policy, strategy, and development.

"The reach of the military-academic complex goes far beyond schools like West Point and Annapolis; today almost 350 civilian universities conduct Pentagon-funded research."
