Commodore Barry Gate - 2012-01-31 12:46:45
Just saw this article, and I echo the sentiments of those who finally made this happen. It's About Time!

Yes, This is similarly a waste of money compared to the other issues of the day.
We are asking schools to do more with less. Soon the pentagon will also be asked to do more with less. If the pentagon can afford to do this in the current economic climate, we need to crack open their books and start cutting.
