Maybe they did notify everyone and she just ignored it? It seems very one sided from her, where are the reports of all the other people at UND peeing their pants over over people in camo carrying guns? Sorry I’m not gonna give the twit an inch.

The University of North Dakota-home to the Fighting Sioux oops that not the name anymore.

I went to UND. To those of us, who are NOT into PC, it will ALWAYS be the Fighting Sioux.
Many people who go to UND hockey games, wear jerseys with "Sioux" on them. Screw the PC crowd.

Possibly. By the administration’s reaction she was not reprimanded for failure to inform herself, but I don’t know.

It’s the common abbreviation for “underwear.”

For God’s sake. It sounds like marching, as in drill and ceremonies. For parades and stuff. Military exercises in the quad? Don’t be such a dope.

If someone is wearing a US uniform, they’re probably not terrorists. But then she doesn’t even know what US uniform looks like and no one in her circle or family is a veteran.

She’s got good points - why is ROTC conducting military exercises in the quad?

Sounds to me like they were just walking through. She saw the guns and uniforms and profiled them as enemies of the progressive movement.

I grew up in Grand Forks, so I was a Sioux hockey fan from WAY back. Now, they play in Engelstad Arena, probably on of the best college hockey arenas in the country. I played hockey with one of the Engelstad guys. I think he was a cousin of theirs.

..........she'd probably soil her ladies unmentionables and slacks if she saw me in my AG 344 Class A uniform and my service CAP with scrambled eggs on the visor.

Watch your pig mouth.

It sounds like nothing of the kind. Terrorism exists on campuses. Shootings happen. Even the police and military conduct unannounced training ops in cities and scare the hell out of people.

Maybe if you consider books as a source of cleaning paper to pull through the barrel of your rifle you think this is a trivial situation, but the basic idea of giving clear warning to people you KNOW fear guns is mandatory.

Who's the dope?

Probably. But these days armed activities on campus should be clearly labeled to all. Too many much for everyone to to be perfectly clear at all times. Just like at a shooting range.

Grand Forks news is a BIG clue.

GrandForksHerald might be a clue...

Someone asks a legit question so you two give a snotty non-answer.

I went to HS in South Dakota ans never heard of Grand Forks. It happens.

“some gung-ho Operator wannabe”

My mom was an operator. I had no idea what that meant. I’ll see if she will tell me some stories. But you know how operators are, they keep it all inside.

Ohhhh,, ,like Major Hassan, or like Sgt Akbar. Clothing is a poor way to determine intent.

You need to watch the movie, Stripes. It’d be the extent of your military acumen but it might alert you to the diff between drills and exercises. ROTC marches in the quads; terrorists don’t. Not even SWAT teams do that. Watch your panic button; you sound like you belong on HUFFPO. BTW, I didn’t call you a dope. Even if you obviously know little about rifles, the military, exercises, drills, terrorism. And probably books, too for that matter.

And why aren’t these exercises massively advertised, given that school shootings are hardly unusual anymore?

Perhaps because the shootings haven't been perpetrated by persons in US Army uniforms.............
