That, it should be said, would be easier said than done. We should not forget: Europe is rich and democratic; its values are closer to those of the U.S. than those of anywhere else. But Europeans cannot rely on that shared sensibility to secure American favor forever. The world beyond Europe's borders is changing fast. What counts now, says Constanze Stelzenmüller, senior transatlantic fellow at Berlin's German Marshall Fund, is what Europe "can bring to the table." So far, it's bringing too little. Do Europeans want that to change? If so, now would...
...Threat from Within," Jim Frederick misses a key reason the Fort Hood massacre happened [Feb. 22]. The National Command Authority has made a misguided but conscious decision not to educate the country too well about the strategic goals of al-Qaeda et al. Had it done so early on, politically attuned junior officers and noncoms would have stepped forward from the get-go to identify Islamist sympathizers like alleged shooter Major Nidal Malik Hasan. That's the way it works. With a more honest and robust definition of the enemy, proaction would have been expected. Sadly, the country...
...problem is even worse than that. The Pentagon estimates that 80% to 90% of sexual assaults go unreported, and it's no wonder. Anonymity is all but impossible; a Government Accountability Office report concluded that most victims stay silent because of "the belief that nothing would be done; fear of ostracism, harassment, or ridicule; and concern that peers would gossip." More than half feared they would be labeled troublemakers. A civilian who is raped can get confidential, or "privileged," advice from her doctors, lawyers, victim advocates; the only privilege in the military applies to chaplains. A civilian who knows...
...sense of betrayal runs deep in victims who joined the military to be part of a loyal team pursuing a larger cause; experts liken the trauma to incest and the particular damage done when assault is inflicted by a member of the military "family." Women are often denied claims for posttraumatic stress caused by the assault if they did not bring charges at the time. There are not nearly enough mental-health professionals in the system to help them. Female vets are four times more likely to be homeless than male vets are, according to the Service Women's Action...
Dining Hall: The dining hall staff is wonderfully amicable. The food stations are intuitively arranged, the drink machines are outside the kitchen for easy access, and there is always a bounty of cereal. The dim lighting may keep our dining hall from sparkling, but it gets the job done and you’ll often finding yourself spending many comfortable hours lounging. The hall is sometimes packed during dinner, in large part because of the dining restrictions of Adams and Quincy, but you usually won’t have a problem finding seating for you and your posse...
