WSJ: "Professors on the Battlefield"

Wall Street Journal column "Professors on the Battlefield: Where the warfare is more than just academic." by Evan R Goldstein.

Goldstein suggests that "the Vietnam-era legacy of mistrust--even hostility--between academe and the military may be eroding" and cites a "shift in the zeitgeist is embodied by Gen. David H. Petraeus". However, an academic denounced such civilian-military cooperation as "the militarization of the social sciences" and an activist denounced it as "counter to the historic freedom of university life".
