My personal experience at three separate universities is that some programs do have a left-leaning bias and sometimes the professors care but other times they don’t. I’ve been in a left-leaning poli sci program, a right-leaning philosophy program and a literature program with a bit of both.
I don’t think soldiers are the equivalent of the messiah but I do think dying in defense of liberty is a noble thing. I’d rather people LIVE in defense of liberty, but I understand death is an inevitable outcome of war. I think soldiers do a job I would not or cannot do, and I admire them in the same way I admire heart surgeons, garbage collectors, and kindergarten teachers. I appreciate that all these folks are made of a toughness I do not possess.
Just Another Pretty Farce 
Thank you for saying what I’ve been trying to say for two days.
Here’s hoping soldiers lose their jobs due to lack of work. This is one of my terribly impractical pacifist Christian beliefs that makes no sense in a world gone mad but I have to believe it or go mad myself.
and ditto your thoughts, right on.
*Here’s hoping soldiers lose their jobs due to lack of work. *
Agreed.
