Univeristy of Iran…Er I mean University of Maryland in Iran?
UM is the primary university providing classes for U.S. service members abroad.
a Europe-wide faculty meeting at our headquarters in Heidelberg, Germany. At that meeting, we were told that the U of MD military education contracts will be expanding soon to Iraq, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Djibouti, and other locations in the Middle East and Africa. This comes as no surprise.
“What is startling is that the U.S. military has also asked us to prepare a bid for educational programs in IRAN and SYRIA (and, oddly enough, France — where we have had no presence since NATO was expelled in 1967 — probably a function of the new conservative government there). We will be bidding on an education contract to these locations at the end of November.
hmmmmm, no why would we need that in Iran, especially if we don’t have a base there?

Are they telling me our troops are so undermanned they have to hire Blackwater, but they have enough time to GO TO FRIGGIN’ COLLEGE in a war zone?
Not to mention war zones we haven’t even invaded yet?
But I thought John Kerry said our soldiers were all too dumb to get into college?
many of them are…
That is not fair-no they are not. Our soliders are fine people. They are now crippled not by their brains, but by their wounds, and often times get no support from the Administration. Now the mercenaries, that is what you need to talk about becuase they can be deployed here at home without any oversight just as they are deployed in Iraq.
no brian,
actually they have lowered the bar so low that they do have quite a few grunts that probably can’t spell their name.
but the Army isn/t a real branch like the Navy is
