If it is ethically permissible for Social Scientists to advise on policy, why is it not permissible to work with US military forces on the ground?
It is deeply ironic that, according to various critics of HTS, a Social Scientist can brief diplomats and advise on policy, but cannot engage with the Soldiers who carry out the policy of the diplomats and policymakers. The military does not make foreign policy, but is Constitutionally required to implement the policies of the elected government. The military should have the knowledge to do so efficiently, carefully, and with less harm done.
