#SALRadio talks with the registrar at the US Military Academy, Dr. James Dalton who is also an instructor in geography and environmental engineering. We discussed the importance of the study of geography for building cultural understanding, value of liberal arts in military education to develop critical thinking, continued role of longstanding tools like paper maps and sextants, importance of NCOs as mentors and instructors. LTC Dalton describes the extraordinary service of his Dad and sons in the US Army. Ok have to admit is Jim is a proud classmate of mine from Providence College.
