SPS 2012: Visit to the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis

Yesterday the St. Albans School of Public Service Class of 2012 visited the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. Our host, Naval Academy Political Science Professor Stephen Wrage, gave us a tour of campus and then posed a series of hypotheticals to our group about military ethics situations that have arisen in Iraq and Afghanistan.
