But in the case of the ROTC programs, Harvard is not inviting an individual whom it feels is an expert on military history and policy, but rather is inviting the Defense Department to establish Departments of Military Science, Naval Science and Aerospace Studies and to staff them with military personnel who are to serve a tour of duty for the express purpose of training future officers...
