< http://www.nypost.com/p....AiAQfSN >QUOTE Columbia University students heckled a war hero during a town-hall meeting on whether ROTC should be allowed back on campus.
"Racist!" some students yelled at Anthony Maschek, a Columbia freshman and former Army staff sergeant awarded the Purple Heart after being shot 11 times in a firefight in northern Iraq in February 2008. Others hissed and booed the veteran. Posted by Malcolm on Feb. 20 2011,14:15
QUOTE "Universities should not be involved in military activities," Sociology Professor Emeritus Herbert Gans told The Post. "Columbia should come out against spending $300 billion a year on unnecessary wars." < Guess they'd better pay back this $10 million then >. Along with all the other federal DARPA/DoD cash they've received for the past decade or so. Wow. Accepted in 2005. Right in the middle of the "unnecessary war."
