...latest innovation in keeping ROTC has occured at Boston University where the administration rendered it "invisible". From now on, ROTC cadets will not wear uniforms during drill and will take ordinary government courses instead of military courses. In other words, the same ideology will be taught without the "militarist" trappings. The Harvard Corporation has also played a leading role in keeping ROTC on American campuses. It has set up direct negotiations with the Pentagon and coordinated its activities with the presidents and trustees of seven other ivy league colleges to keep "their" army functioning smoothly...

Rather, America's planners, frustrated by the understandable reluctance of Hanoi to negotiate, have decided to force the North Vietnamese to the conference table under the threat of bombing them, in Curtis LeMay's curious words, "back into the Stone...
Basically they believe in the same things most people do. I don't think they have a militarist vocation. A minority of the military calling themselves, let's say, intellectuals, may try to organize a militarist concept of government. They confuse technocracy and dictatorship and try to introduce technocracy through a military regime, using it as a medium to attain the technocrat's objective...
