Another Brick in the Wall? (Updated)

We don’t need no education

We don’t need no thought control

No dark sarcasm in the classroom

Teachers leave them kids alone

Hey! Teacher! Leave them kids alone!

All in all it’s just another brick in the wall.

All in all you’re just another brick in the wall.

Need budget cuts? We probably can start by shutting the Air War College by Tom Ricks at Foreign Policy’s Best Defense. BLUF: “… it costs at least $300,000 a year to send an officer to the AWC. So this looks like a good place to begin budget cuts, Secretary Gates. Close the place and send the students out into the world of civilian academia, where they will be challenged intellectually and might learn something.”

Update

Gen. Kane’s Response: Assessing the Air War College is a Matter of Perspective at Best Defense. BLUF:”At the end of the day, we’ve got perception and reality here, and as we all know sometimes the perception becomes the reality even if it is only in the mind of the individual observer. You can form your perception of our institution through Dan’s chapter or my thoughts.”
