VMI, Famed Military Academy, Giving Cadets Coloring Books for Stress
Washington Free Beacon ^ | December 6, 2016 | Elizabeth Harrington

Posted on 12/06/2016 4:48:34 AM PST by kevcol

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!”

All of this Sh@@ has to stop. There are far too many fairies, snowflakes, and pansies in the military today. No more women in combat units, no more homsoexuals, and no more cross dressing freaks.

Time for these snowflakes to man up, and face the world.

If Elizabeth Harrington of the Washington Free Beacon is telling the truth, is a call to Col. Wanovich warranted?

When exactly were you at Knox? I was there from Apr - June....

Got there in mid October....BCT and AIT.They said that the winter of '69/'70 was the coldest that the area had seen in 50 years.It was *cold*...and I grew up in New England! And our junior DI (Sgt Donald King) had just finished his second combat tour of Vietnam...Combat Infantry Badge and all.Yikes!

Echo 13/4...we always come back for more...Echo,Echo,Echo galore!

In four years, our military will need coloring books to help officers from this program to deal with the stress of combat. This is pathetic.

As a graduate of VMI, I am saddened by this. I’ve never gotten over their being forced to let women in. It ruined the school.

The pussification of America continues. I’ll be glad when Mad Dog Mattis is in charge of Defense, although that admittedly will not affect VMI.

DANG!

Yep. People laugh at me when I say it but the greatest obstacle to a global NWO is a strong and defiant USA. Obama was put in place to start a decline that will be very, very difficult to reverse. He's damaged the economy, the culture, our standing in the world, our military, the middle class, academia...you name it. In the last 8 years things have gone from bad to disastrous. It's not been an accident and it hasn't been due to incompetence.
