Discussion Panel: What is the conservative approach to foreign military engagement?

Pupin 420 - 8:00pm

The panelists will be three reservists from the Truman National Security Project speaking on "Today's national security policy: The irony of a conservative administration pursuing New Deal principles abroad?" By having so many and varied opinions present, we hope to stimulate a dialogue on the philosophical grounding behind the decision to go to war.
