Supporting our troops in general is easy enough. Just go get one of those yellow ribbon magnets and slap it on your car. For some running Marquette University when actually confronted with the fact that it's kill-or-be-killed in Iraq and Afghanistan backing our military become impossible. Marquette University shut down a College Republican table because they were asking for donations to Adopt a Sniper. Dr. Mark McCarthy, Dean of Office of Student Development told the CRs "this fundraising activity does not comport to the University’s mission" because it doesn't uphold Catholic values.

What does Adopt a Sniper do? They help military sharpshooters get the specialized equipment needed to carry out their missions effectively and more safely. In the eyes of Marquette University it seems helping these people are abhorent to Catholic values.


On today's show, Charlie Sykes spoke to Keith Deneys about Adopt a Sniper. Owen of Boots & Sabers calls Marquette's actions "despicable."
