I sat with several officers during lunch and we had a great discussion regarding media control, or lack thereof. I was surprised how adversarial they were toward advertising. International officers have attended the Army Command and General Staff College, which is the Army's senior tactical school, since 1894. Most of the officers have the rank of major or colonel and historically 39 percent of the graduates become general officers, chiefs of staff of armed forces, ministers, ambassadors, or heads of state. Students and faculty stopped me and asked what was going on.
Plans are already in the works for a repeat program for next year's international officers.
