After four decades of pulling excuses out of their collective ass to keep Reserve Officer Training Corp off of their campus, student and faculty leaders voted to accept the military commissioning programs back on campus according to Associated Press; <\/p>\n

The University Senate voted 51 to 17 with one person abstaining Friday to “explore mutually beneficial relationships with the armed forces of the United States, including participation in the programs of the Reserve Officers Training Corps.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, big deal. The military has been doing fine without them all of these years. They don’t deserve tax payer dollars. One die-hard smelly hippie asshole made his distaste for the American military members known;<\/p>\n

At least one former Weatherman was critical of Columbia’s decision to bring ROTC back.<\/p>\n

“The U.S. armed forces are a blight on the planet,” Brian Flanagan told the Times. “I don’t support soldiers – I think they’re war criminals. So obviously, I’m against ROTC coming back.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Speaking of blights on the planet, according to Wikipedia<\/a>, Brian Flanagan is a bit of a disease himself. It seems he was part of the plot to kill Non-Commissioned Officers by bombing the Fort Dix NCO in March 1970…the plot was foiled when the bombs detonated prematurely in the Greenwich Village bomb factory, killing three of the bomb technicians. <\/p>\n

In the documentary film The Weather Underground, Flanagan admits to participating in Weather’s bombings during the 1970s. During a memorable moment in the film, Flanagan states, “When you feel you have right on your side, you can do some horrific things”. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With enemies like Flanagan, who needs friends? If this pimple hates, the military, I can live with that. He’ll probably choke on his ponytail in his sleep some night anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
