If you think that defense policy analysis and operations research are engineering then you are revealing your own ignorance and you are illustrating why people should not comment on areas they don't understand. |
Operations research is a staple of Industrial Engineering undergraduate programs. At least it was when I was an IE student 20 years ago. |
I probably exaggerated a bit in calling him an engineer. He has a degree in engineering, and has done work in Operations Research, but perhaps I erred. Mea culpa.
