MORE ON THE MILITARY AT YALE: Here’s an interesting piece from last week that I found via The Corner:

Benjamin Klay ’03, who completed Officer Candidates School and has decided to join the Marines after graduation, said he felt Yalies’ opinions of military service shifted after Sept. 11, 2001.

“Before Sept. 11, many people would practically laugh in my face,” Klay wrote in an e-mail. “Many people seemed to think that Yalies are too good for the Marine Corps.”

Some of his friends tried to convince him not to join, others just called him crazy.

But some were supportive, and after Sept. 11, Klay said, the majority of reactions shifted from incredulity to respect.

Worth reading.
