Of course, another great point from a great scholar. I think it is a good thing Military History has been kicked out of universities. Imagine how twisted the cirriculum would be to fit what likely would be the professor's Marxist ideology. Let us add all the Military History related shows on the History Channels, there is one channel 100% devoted to Military History. When it comes to social sciences, maybe economics is the one exception, you are better off self-teaching than taking courses at a major university.

Many nontraditional Schools offer Strengths in Military History as part of a history degree. Many of these schools posses the same Regional Accreditation as major universities. I suspect they offer military history because they make a fortune from military Tuition Assistance and the GI Bill. As a young Marine the history of the Corps was taught and stressed to the point that 30 years later from memory I can recall personalities and data on the Corps history. When I made Chief, we spent hours on U.S. Navy history (should happen sooner, Navy drops the ball here). I suspect history, especially military history is more popular with military members. Thus the non-trad schools offer a course of study in military history. When I took my graduate degree, ironically the only military history I had was in the economics courses.

Self-teaching has major drawbacks. Find a group that is involved with history and participate in discussions. Critical thinking requires some criticism of our precept ions and analysis especially when it comes to history. You may be (or not) surprised at the number of groups available which are dedicated to the critical and thoughtful study of history.

When I joined the Navy in 1951, I received a softcover book about two inches thick titled “Your Navy”, wherein they went through the history and heroes of the USN down through the years. Great stuff - gave it to my grandson.

One school has a major MA Military History, Norwich University. Also offered on line. Norwich happens to be one of the oldest engineering schools as well. Any besides West Point older?

I suppose I can depend on VDH to make the point, but pretty much all of history is, in one way or another, the history of warfare.

They want to turn all western males into castrati to serve third world overlords and Muslims.

When I was in school you could see the Marxist influence on some historians feeling military history was unimportant because economic factors would determine the outcome. I never bought that. It’s like the old saying about sports prognosticators and handicappers, sometimes you just need to actually play the game.
