Do we really need military academies anymore? I don’t think so. Commanders are being relieved of their commands as fast as the academies can pump them out.
I’ve had no idea it’s been getting this bad
We need them so women can crash ships at sea, and blacks can eliminate Special Forces in the Army.
All the people here pining for WWIII think our military is at a 1980’s level.
They have no clue.
Forget about military academies. A more basic issue is that the U.S. should not even have a standing army of any consequential size.
America is toast, stick a fork in it... :(
One of the Founders argued against professional military academics, as it would lead to elitism (I think it was Benjamin Franklin, but I’m not sure). Better to train all future officers at colleges. We know that program today as ROTC.
That idea has some merit. Or should I say, had some merit. Because we are now stuck between a rock and a hard place. Do we want our future generals to come from woke West Point or from super-woke Harvard?
The Army War College and Navy equivalents have also gone to hell.
BS degrees is the only way to get low IQ women and minorities to pass.
This is known and deliberate.
If USA went against Russia or any modern army, we would get our asses kicked.
I can imagine the tiktok videos of homos filming themselves crying in the battlefield and how they want to go home.
I talked to a friend feom the military and he said he went in an Army post recently and they were flying the queer flag
When I was in the army in the mid 60's, believe me, there was one helluva big difference between an ROTC and a West Point man..
During tough times, discipline and trust can go a long way...
Most here really don’t get it. Half our country was freaking out over the Iraq of Afghanistan death toll.
Russians can suffer and have 120 million people.
China has 1.3 billion people.
Iran has 90 million people.
Are we going to draft Gen Z? Have you met them?
Or are we just going to pop off a thousand nukes?
I’m convinced that the internet has ruined people’s ability to think.
People respond without thinking. Impulse control is down across the board.
Imagine describing the geopolitical ramifications of WWIII in 140 characters or fewer.
She/he/it broke a nail switching mags, and that nasty ol’ helmet - and just LOOK what it’s done to her/his/its hair - it’s a CRIME!!
"My Hair! He shot my hair! Son of a bitch!"
“World Religions”
Future officers should know the basics of Islam and its history.
I don’t think military academies can be replaced by instruction at civilian universities.
Much of what officers need to know is military specific and officers need to get to know each other and to think in similar patterns.
“Communism will Win”
America is toast, stick a fork in it... :(
We disagree, and what looks like we been forked hasn’t happened yet. It gets worse from here, but in the end we will find minority woke needs, and will get the forking it deserves.
Right, the same Russian army that's struggling in Ukraine for 594th days against an enemy, with no air force, is going to "kick our asses". No
The value of focusing on engineering is that it weeds out glib idiots.
