More stolen scholarship - US Army's new manual on counterinsurgency
#3
Quote:Anthropology is the study of humanity. Anthropology has origins in the natural sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences.[1] The term "anthropology", pronounced /ænθrɵˈpɒlədʒi/, is from the Greek ἄνθρωπος, anthrōpos, "human", and -λογία, -logia, "discourse" or "study", and was first used by François Péron when discussing his encounters with Tasmanian Aborigines.[2]

Anthropology's basic concerns are "What defines Homo sapiens?", "Who are the ancestors of modern Homo sapiens?", "What are humans' physical traits?", "How do humans behave?", "Why are there variations and differences among different groups of humans?", "How has the evolutionary past of Homo sapiens influenced its social organization and culture?" and so forth.

I think we need an anthropological study of why so many anthropologists are working for the war machine. Confusedmokin:

On second thoughts, scrap that, and let's just abolish anthropology as an academic discipline.
"It means this War was never political at all, the politics was all theatre, all just to keep the people distracted...."

"They are in Love. Fuck the War."
