"This is the worst stereotyping I can imagine and an affront to any veteran," Eikenberry wrote in an email. I teach at American Military Univ, and have only had good experiences. I am surprised at the quote "educated" people of this university. I would not be proud to be an alumni and would definitely make my opinion known to that school if I was an alumni. Be selective of the school you attend with your GI BIll, especially when you see this!

I am a Professor at a small Christian Universtiy and must agree that there are anti-military feelings that swirl within these academic institutions.

As a major world figure at the time of his selection as Columbia University's president in 1947, Dwight Eisenhower had already demonstrated his considerable capacity as a leader during World War II.

That was a great article. He survived it and did well....with lots of critics.
Let's face it, CSMs do not always have the same MOS as their BN. We have SIGINT COLs command CI Groups/BDEs. Managers are not paid to be SMEs they are there to be managers.
When I was a Marine Squad Leader, I went to the 2d MARDIV Marine of the Month board. One of the questions was, "What is the weapon of an 0311 Infantry Marine Squad Leader."
The answer is his squad! That is his most powerful weapon. Early management education that I never forgot.
