Especially laughable are the media and Hollyweird "intellectuals". Morons like Tim Robbins and Alec Baldwin are so far below the average West Point or Annapolis grad in education and intelligence that my mind boggles.
Anyone who dismisses the Marines as musclebound uneducated warmongers is quite an obvious fool.
"I always laugh at these supposed intellectuals who denigrate the military. I've met some really sharp officers and EM.... many of them much more intelligent and better educated than many of the mindless idiots of academia"
Well after hearing the likes of "geniuses" like Ward Churchill, you have to thank your lucky stars "educated" fools like him are not in the Marine Corps! LMAO

I would like Columbia to run a small research project: list all Columbia alumni who ever served in the Armed Forces of the United States.
Then go to the history books and their own recruiting literature and ask that all mention of their attending Columbia be removed because Columbia doesn’t want to be associated with the military.
If they want to see the impact I suggest that they look at the alumni from the 10th graduating class of Columbia Law School, most of them were later associated with the 1st Volunteer US Calvary during the Spanish American War. The MSM of the era called that unit the “Rough Riders”.
Would Columbia Law School be willing to remove a President of the United States from its list of distinguished alumni?
P.S. My great grandfather was a member of that class (still have the invitation to attend) and served under Col Roosevelt. He later went on to be a Master Mason, an inventor of children’s toys, and Pardon Attorney of the US. ( I list his accomplishments in the order which he had them listed in his obituary).
Agreed and take a wild guess who will be the very first ones to p*ss themselves a cry like babies for these Marines to save their sorry asses.
