Since you asked - I was in the Corps of Cadets and my degree is in Philosophy (1982). When I was there, the Philosophy Department head was a former paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne, and we were taught to be disciplined thinkers. Obviously, there was an emphasis on military ethics. Many of us used to keep up with the Department, which took a nosedive in quality post 2000. Those educated in the traditional disciplines of Philosophy, Theory of Knowledge, Truth Theory, Religion, Logic, and Aesthetics, have retired and are being replaced by kooks. It is easy to ID a kook in the Philosophy Department because he will list a specialty that is not one of the 5 traditional disciplines.
I have as a personal project, an open letter to the Department. They are negating the value of my degree with this silliness.
