Makes me glad I'm a dinosaur.

From one dinosaur to another: I agree wholeheartedly!!

Proudly, but, in another sense, sadly, I watched my nephew graduate from our alma mater this June and saw, first hand, how so many things had changed. He and my son who is an active duty F-16 pilot are going to have to live with the PC BS exemplified by the removal of "Bring Me Men" from the ramp throughout their careers.

These misguided PC policies are ultimatedly weakening our military and our nation. I just hope that one of my loved ones does not have to pay the ultimate price for this stupidity.

I am a '69 grad of the Academy. It was extremely painful to see political correctness run wild and drag down a symbol that all grads cherished. 'Bring Me Men' was in no way disrespectful to women. Everyone knew (and knows) that "Men" was used metaphorically to describe the warriors that would be needed to defend our country. Women can be warriors.

I pray that this is not a trend, that it is just an act of temporary insanity and that we will eventually return to the core values that have made our country great.

I'm a '77 grad. Interesting time to be there. I saw the last of the true "brown shoe days" (from pointed parkas and Air Gardens to.......the first group of female cadets coming in during my Firstie year). I didn't like the trends then, let alone all these years later. I've been out since '84 and probably damned glad I made the decision I did.

Sure love that school, though, pain in the ass that it was.
