I read that he was expelled from the Academy for that cute trick. After getting the boot he has been doing what all young lefties are doing: working to destroy our country! I don’t know how he managed to be accepted at West Point, but I would like to find out about that, especially what Congressman sponsored him.

Learn what?

It is a pop culture reference. Watch the movie Stripes.

If our military goes commie WOKE, what's the point in having a military?

What's the difference between living in an American Commie Hellhole or a Chinese commie hellhole or a Cuban Commie hellhole?

Let the damn 'elites' send their kids to war... Of course the goal here is to have an excuse so illegals can be a mercenary army willing to kill Merrick Garland's idea of 'the enemy'...

"Learn what?"

It was a joke from "Stripes."

"Are either of you homosexual?"
"No, but we're willing to learn."

I never heard of Stripes, but then I haven’t watched anything on TV for years except the news, and for the past six months I’ve not watched the news either. I go online, check my email, this forum, and three or four conservative news sites. I spend a lot of leisure time reading, usually history and other non-fiction stuff. Right now I’m reading James Webb’s book, Born Fighting, and Theodore Dalrymple’s Anything Goes. Dalrymple is a retired British prison psychiatrist who enjoys tearing apart contemporary western culture and does a masterful job of it. He has written eight or ten books on the subject.

I read Webb’s book “Fields of Fire” years ago. “Born Fighting” looks interesting.

The Air Force may have to start using unmanned tech.

True.

But they'll still need highly qualified people to create, build, run and repair it.

That seems like a bad thing to me. To Biden and his handlers, this is the best thing in the world.

It is the difference between patriots and hate-filled fools, and it’s the latter who will eventually get us all KILLED if we don’t begin to shun them and stigmatize them for the cowardly traitors that they are!

What’s dropping is interest from boys serious about a military career for patriotic reasons.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I would wager that the percentage of boys going into the academies for genuine patriotism and a military career is no more than ten percent, if it’s that many! And girls? FORGETABOUTIT!

I expect that we will begin to see more Air Force “training accidents”—and the “experts” will not be able to figure out why....
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I expect there’s going to be an “uptick” in the number of commercial airline crashes as well as standards are lowered for military pilot training.

as bad as the service academies are, the rest of the colleges are a hundred times worse.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
For some reason that fact fails to relieve my anxiety regarding the fighting ability of our future military leadership!

All those you’ve cited who are damaging our country are enabled by the Democrat Party and the RINOs who support their anti-American policies. And if DeSantis isn’t the Republican candidate, and President Trump is but fails to win for the third consecutive time, I think we’re doomed to become the national equivalent of New York and California!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
Ha! I was about to post “My thinking exactly!” until I looked at who posted it and saw it was me!
