Dempsey wrote that he was concerned the military was teaching material “inconsistent with the values of our profession, and disrespectful of Islam.” A new review would “ensure our Professional Military Education programs exhibit the cultural sensitivity, respect for religion and intellectual balance that we should expect in our academic institutions.”
How about teaching material consistent with the values of free inquiry and with respect for veracity instead? What is urgently needed is a review to ensure military education offers unflinching threat analysis based on meticulously sourced facts and research. That’s what a “real” Joint Chiefs chairman would demand, not a “politically correct” curriculum designed to subordinate U.S. national security interests to a policy of not offending Islam.

No, our brass has been occupied by political appointees instead of qualified military officers.
