Opposition to military cooperation was evident during the 2007 AAA annual meeting in Washington, DC.

Some critics of the HTS program have suggested that scholars who perform classified work with the military be expelled from the organization.

During an event organized by the Network of Concerned Anthropologists, a graduate student who had recently been expelled from the HTS program spoke out about her experiences with the program.

She argued that the program was poorly run but was doing positive work in helping military officers with " nation-building " activities.

She began crying when some scholars shouted criticisms about her fiancé for his continued participation in the HTS program.

Another scholar came to her defense and urged the crowd to show her respect for sharing her views before a critical audience.
