The Reason Campaign

Andrew Bacevich, Massachusettes

After 23 years serving in the US Army, Andrew Bacevich is now a Professor of history and international relations at Boston University. He has always considered himself a conservative in the purest sense of the word and remains a practicing Catholic. In his estimation, the Republican party going back even as far as Ronal Reagan has moved away from the core conservative principles of international affairs by refusing to see the world as it is and, instead, choosing to view the world through the filter of ideology and belief. Andrew hopes that an Obama victory will create an opening for a robust and comprehensive national conversation about foreign policy and the role of America in the world.
