Afterwards he held posts in Germany, the United States, and the Persian Gulf up to his retirement from the service with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the early 1990s. He holds a Ph.D. in diplomatic history from Princeton University , and taught at West Point and Johns Hopkins University prior to joining the faculty at Boston University in 1998. He has described himself as a "Catholic conservative" and initially published writings in a number of traditionally conservative American political magazines, but recent writings have professed a dissatisfaction with the Bush Administration and many of its intellectual supporters on matters of American Foreign Policy . WRITINGS Both his recent books are critical of American foreign policy in the post and William Appleman Williams . Ultimately, Bacevich eschews the partisanship of current debate about American foreign policy as short-sighted and ahistorical. Instead of blaming only one President (or his advisors) for contemporary policies, both Republicans and Democrats share responsibility for policies which may not be in the nation's best interest.
