Thank you very much and God bless you.

... “so-called elite universities” have “poisoned” the U.S. military education system and “abused their privilege and access to this department and utterly betrayed their purpose.”

The 13 universities include Tufts, Georgetown, Brown, Columbia, Princeton, The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Yale, among others, according to the memo. ...

...The department is also cutting ties with seven non-profit institutions, including the Center for Strategic and International Studies, The Brookings Institution, Center for a New American Security, and Council on Foreign Relations.

Pete Hegseth just took a big jump in my estimation.

He’s showing a similar kind of multi-front tactical energy as Trump.

It’s the Department of War, is it not? So why does the author of this article persist in calling it the Department of Defense. Does she also persist in referring to the Gulf of Mexico?

There should be no ties with private institution, not even good ones like Hillsdale etc.

The relationship is corrupting in both directions.
