Setauket to Abbottabad: The Value of Film and Television in Teaching Human Intelligence Abstract Espionage is often referred to as the world’s second oldest profession, and human intelligence is the oldest collection discipline. When many people think of espionage the images that often come to mind are fictional characters such as Jason Bourne or James Bond. Human intelligence encompasses much more than “secret agents” using their “toys” to collect top-secret information. Teaching human intelligence within an academic setting can be difficult because of the clandestine nature of tradecraft and sources of intelligence. Ironically, it is television and film that brought us Bourne and Bond that can also aid in the teaching of the variety of issues and concepts important to the study of human intelligence.

History also comprises transmitted memory, values, and culture, and therefore history—as it is learned and remembered—shapes identity. History as memory and identity helps defne who we are, what we are doing, and where we are going.

    Advocates for Harvard ROTC . Telephone: (978) 443-9532 11 Munnings Drive Email: [email protected] Sudbury, MA 01776 5 June 2020 From: Captain Paul E. Mawn USN (Ret.) To: Advocates for Harvard ROTC Subject: Post WW2 military veterans among Harvard alumni (H-1920 to present) Harvard graduates have a long proud history of serving as warriors in the United States military. During the Korean War, 60% of the Harvard classes served in the US military but only 23% of the class of 1963 served in the US military (note: the % of military veterans in other classes since the Korean War have not yet been validated. I suspect the % of veterans in the late 1950’s & early 1960’s were similar to 1963 participation level but was slightly higher during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s as the Vietnam War heated up. Due to the anti- military policies of the Harvard administration and the expulsion of on campus ROTC programs, the mid 1970’s saw a precipitous drop in the number of patriotic Harvard graduates who elected to do something beyond their own self-interest by serve our country in the US military. Thus over the past 4 decades, less than 1% of Harvard graduates are military veterans of whom about half were commissioned through the ROTC programs based at MIT. However recently, Harvard has recently taken a proactive positive posture towards the US military. As result, ROTC participation at Harvard has been steadily increasing with over 1.3% the Harvard class of 2023 serving as midshipmen or cadets and a significantly higher % accepted for the class of 2024.
