I just posted the claim that “tensions between the military and the universities are mild.” Eh, not so much:

Protesters have occupied the office of the University [of Hawaii]'s interim President David McClain and delivered new demands on Monday, asking him to take immediate action that would stall or stop...plans for a proposed Navy research center on campus.

Citing Native Hawaiian concerns, protesters say the proposed University Affiliated Research Center, which would be the Navy's fifth on a U.S. college campus and the first in 58 years, would further militarize a state that is home to several military bases, including the Navy's Pearl Harbor and headquarters for the U.S. military's Pacific Command.

I guess that protest could be described as tense. I accept full responsibility for my error; though I should point out that this story has been so poorly covered by the mainstream media that a profile of Hawaiian wineries rates higher on Yahoo!News. I mean, hello?

[Customary rant on the incompetence of the media omitted.]

I am more interested in Hawaiian wine myself. Hawaiians have been hostile to the Navy for many years as the Navy used one of their islands (Kahahoolave?) as a bombing range. GUY
