From the November/December 2014 Nebraska Report by Nebraskans for Peace, written by Kevin Haake and Barbara van den Berg of Alternatives to the Military–Lincoln:
One doesn’t need to look very hard to find references to the military in our society. Indeed, the military’s presence is seemingly everywhere: from retail stores’ sales campaigns, sponsorship of running events, football camps, national and local sporting events and television advertisements, to university “welcome-back-to campus” events, and even community festivals, such as Lincoln’s “Rib Fest.” This pervasive culture has also made its way into the corridors, classrooms, study halls and lunch rooms of our schools.
