“In an office meeting with her department chair, the instructor characterized the veteran as dimwitted, poorly-educated, inattentive to instruction, argumentative and threatening....”

There they go again - projecting their own failings on folks who disagree with their liberal, pedantic viewpoint.

Well, I don't know about the student in question. I sense it's a made up story. If true, how did such a dimwit pass all the required tests etc to matriculate?

In my military days we had the draft. There were a few in uniform that weren't the brightest bulbs on the chandelier. Still, most of my friends in those days were as bright as any and brighter than most.

My son is in the Navy today. I've met a number of his friends and many of his associates. The ones I have met are all quite bright. It would surprise me no end if one of them ever found a college professor even worth threatening, no matter how dimwiited that professor might be.

“Iraq war veteran who displayed aggressive behavior toward his instructor.”

First, I guess acorn threatening the lives of people that worked at AIG and their families is ok? I guess gay activists threatening the lives of those that oppose them is ok?

Yeah, let’s go after the brave men and women that protect our lives and freedoms! I am really getting pissed off about this stuff...Gosh, honor them...PERIOD! Anything against them should be “treason”!

If a university had a “vignette” showing, say, a black student with an athletic scholarship behaving in this way, they’d lose their accreditation.

After WW2, the GI Bill was partially responsible for the colleges and universities being filled with veterans. And a lot of us enrolled in engineering.

In spite of the fact that classes were made up of about 90% veterans, I only saw one instance of a veteran crossing a teacher (an assistant).

A few heated words were exchanged over the assistant’s teaching style. The assistant walked out of the class. IMO, he deserved the tongue lashing.

But he was back for the next class, and nothing further transpired.
