'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Cited In Bollinger's Opposition to ROTC

Oh, please! This country is fighting two wars, Columbia! You can't support the country in wartime because you don't agree with every single military policy? Does Columbia vet the companies who recruit on campus for every single corporate policy and practice? Hey Columbia, I've got news for you--I don't agree 100% with your university's policies, either! I don't agree with your using the state's power of eminent domain to buy the property of a landowner who doesn't want to sell to you! I don't agree with your invite of the genocidal Iranian leader to your campus! I don't agree with the anti-Israel, anti-American slant of most of your professors! So go ahead, Columbia University, stand on "principle" during wartime that you will not allow ROTC on campus until the military agrees 100% with every single one of your enlightened principles--whatever they are this week! How is Bollinger not fired??
