Not only was it Stoney Jackson’s alma mater, even Patton spent time there. Un-freakin-believable...
Jackson graduated from West Point he taught at VMI.
It’s all very nice to be constantly saying to uniformed Americans, “thank you for your service to the country.” However, it is just as important to always recall that the military, like society itself, is made of a large percentage of intellectual misfits and general f-ups. The present composition of the JCS, with the exception of the Marine commandant, is a case in point. This academic is another.
It's going to a take a new generation of Pattons and Pershings to drive today's invaders (from both the east and south) and their 5th column from our shores.
Officers of the American Expedition force in Mexico including Brigadier General John J. Pershing, and Lieutenant George S. Patton, Aide (4th and 5th from left) 
Pershing leads these officers and their troop across the Rio Grand in pursuit of invaders lead by Pancho Villa. 
As did Chesty Puller.
