West ’09, a midshipman in the Marines ROTC. “I liked his idea that we use soft and hard power to achieve foreign policy goals and that you can’t rely solely on a blunt tool like the military.” Other attendees expressed their respect for Zinni’s open-minded view of American foreign policy. “I was very...
