Likely a misguided notion that our military is somehow killing innocents. I've found that letting University students decide policy like this is like getting kindergarten kids to plan their lessons. It usually takes about 3 years outside of school for a person to get a real grip on reality.
Yup, there's nothing like a couple sobering lessons from the U of Hard Knocks to temper one's view on things. It's too bad that can't be incorporated into a school's or university's curriculum. It would save a lot of stress and grief. Call it something sexy like Pragmatic Reality versus Unreal Reality, or something like that.
