Bragging about his "deep roots in the military" and speaking at West Point, I can't imagine why you would confuse this with a liberal education. We have endless war and a global militarization of our governance structures. The masters of the universe at Harvard, etc. are sadly implicated and what's worse--don't even recognize it.

I arranged for him to meet with the undergraduate adviser in the College of Fine Arts at Carnegie Mellon. Among other things that man told him that he could get credit for certain courses at the Pittsburgh Filmmakers Institute. When my grandson visited the latter organization his reaction was to ask what he needed Carnegie Mellon for. I took this as lack of appreciation for the value of a liberal education. I find the linked address by the President of Harvard to be relevant: http://www.harvard.edu/president/speech/2016/to-be-speaker-words-and-doer-deeds-literature-and-leadership
