The ROTC on Campus

8 December 2008 Washington Post groups discussion "The ROTC on Campus".  Note:  One of the comments thinks Learned Foote's argument for ROTC "because it rests, not on insulting or discounting the students opposition, but on the importance of relationship even when there is disagreement. Telling the students that they are ungrateful serves no purpose--it may not be true, it's alienating and divisive, and it's hardly likely to convince anyone of the rightness of your position. The "best argument" is the one that persuades, not the one that makes you feel morally righteous."
