The rush to apply cutting edge technologies like artificial intelligence to military systems is well under way in Washington, but even more so in Silicon Valley.
Wick Sloane’s annual survey finds, again, that most wealthy, highly selective colleges continue to disregard those the country has sent off to war on our behalf. I’ll start with a sledgehammer for this annual report on the tiny number of undergraduate veterans at the self-proclaimed top colleges in the nation, in the world. I have shredded drafts in reasonable tones. For 17 years, nothing has worked to persuade these colleges, except Syracuse and Columbia Universities, to look out for the three million other people’s children that we, the people, have sent to war. I mean an effort equal to the college’s standing and endowment.
