A panel discussion on the Afghanistan War featuring four panelists with some very different opinions about the war. The event is sponsored by the UNH Peace and Justice League and Young Americans for Liberty but is designed to be a balanced and educated discussion of the war with no bias towards one side or the other. The set-up of the event will allow for each panelist to give a brief introduction of themselves, who they are, and why they are on the panel, but after that the event will primarily be based off of audience participation as attendees will be allowed to ask questions to be answered by any or all of the panelists.
This event is free and open to the public.
The panelists are:
Lieutenant Colonel Brian C. Ruhm
Commander of Air Force ROTC at UNH. LtCol. Ruhm deployed to Kabul, Afghanistan from June to November 2005 as a member of the Office of Security and Cooperation – Afghanistan, to support Operation Enduring Freedom.
