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.

This is just more "Men" is bad and may NEVER be uttered.

If these keeps up the words Men or Man will become the new "N" word.

You were the "upper class" for me, I was '71. Regardless, I have a some very good friends from your class.

The line "Bring Me Men" came from a poem... As I recall the rest of that line went: "to match my mountains." You are absolutely correct that there was no disrespect intended to women, or anyone else, for that matter.

Unfortunately, the intent of historic poems and other documents, and even, events, are now being "rewritten" to suit some imaginary sense of ideological feminist extremism.
