VMI "then":

A prestigious private military school is providing coloring books for cadets to deal with stress.
The Virginia Military Institute, the first state-sponsored military college in the country founded in 1839, offers a “stress busters” program to provide students with yoga classes to “unwind and relax.”

“This is an opportunity for cadets to unwind and relax before studying for finals. This event often includes stress reduction activities such as yoga, therapy dogs, coloring book stations, card/game stations, and grab-and-go snacks to take with you on your way to study!”

General Patton is now spinning in his grave at 10000 RPM
The only question is who is laughing the hardest: President Putin, or President Xi.
Emasculate much?
The school of Stonewall Jackson to a bunch of mushy snowflakes.
Good grief. We need a complete overall of these schools. No more tip toeing fairies agenda. Our side who has a public voice needs to humiliate these school, make fun of these snowflakes, and never let up on them.
Note to cadets: When under enemy fire lay down your gun, get out your coloring book and cry.
The picture of a thousand words.
Sad that these snowflakes have been allowed to get their mushy treatment, and will never be able to cope in the real world.
The bottom picture is how is should be, and that way the snowflakes will never go to places like VMI
NOTHING like the Marines, but hardass DI's are a breed unto themselves.
I will never forget Sgt. Freddy Footman, big and black and scary as hell and in formation it was "Rock steady with Freddy"
Didn’t Professor Thomas Jackson use these very same techniques for stress reduction in the late 1850’s? Or did he march them in orderly rows and teach them to be men.
Many of his former VMI students learned valuable lessons in stress management that July day in 1861 near a rail siding named Manassas, Virginia.
When exactly were you at Knox? I was there from Apr - June....
My son based out west in the Marine Corps had an encounter with s snowflakes who seemed to have crept through boot camp.
Eventually he was moved out to another base , due to “hostile working environment” . When the First Sarge addressed the snowflake he said how are you going to be when you face the enemy, are you going to run off and tell the officer then?
This crap has got to stop. There is a small college here in town, and the boys look like girls for the most part, and the girls look trashy, and dirty.
A couple of them had a meltdown in the Post Office due to their packages costing more to send off than they thought.
As is General Jackson.
Yes Stonewall might not have been a great professor according to all accounts of his students, but he taught them discipline, and what they needed to know. He marched his men over 20 miles a day while he fought 3 Yankee armies.
Now we have these puffters using frigging crayons for crying out loud.
This is exactly why I am against gays in the military. The whole point was to feminize and weaken it
I was in Publix the other day and I glanced through the severely discounted books. There was a stack of adult coloring books. I don’t think they’ve been selling well so VMI probably got a deal on them.
People need to find coping behaviors for small stresses that can be switched over to deal with larger stresses later; say when enemy mortar shells are falling all around your foxhole.
pResident Obama!
Wow!
I guess VMI is a joke now?
If the Rats can’t handle stress now, then how are they going to handle war?
Back in the “old corps” we didn’t HAVE coloring books!
