JJ Jackson must be rolling over in his hallowed grave.
When you had possession of 400+ FBI files, the world is your oyster.
Does anyone actually think Evita rates the cushy jobs, prestige, status and honors strictly on her personal merit?
Disgusting Politics. Everything it touches becomes rotted..
Even most of our military leaders are brainwashed wusses.
Well, the kid had a chance to go to VMI...so glad he didn’t now.
Instead, he went to Hampden-Sydney College, Farmville, VA, and had Justice Sam Alito as his graduation speaker...yay!
Pietro, that’s Thomas Jackson...truly a sainted one! Cheers...
The better to follow orders to put down any conservative or states' revolt after Obama completely ruins America. .
Hillary speaking at VMI, Michelle Obama speaking at Virginia Tech....do you think VA just MIGHT be a swing state??
Ok this is bad enough on its own. No need to pile on.
Yeah...better to be a spoiled frat boy. Ha ha ha.
By the way, that last comment was in fun. I have a couple of friends from HS. That being said, it doesn’t stop me from harassing them with broad generalizations. Ha ha.
Oh, OUCH!
Actually, he was not in a frat and it’s not that big of a deal there...unlike your neighbor, Wash and Lee.
I got the joke - not the first time!
I have to admit that if he was a different type of kid, VMI would have been perfect for him but, sorry, once the girls got in, you knew what would happen next...i.e. the Citadel, USNA, USMA...etc.
Not only is it a swing state, but college students who do not live here permanently may vote in the Commonwealth’s elections. Ok, we’ve got Liberty U, but the rest of the liberal institutions will vote Dem. You can take that to the bank.
Agreed. I was the last all male class.
HS is a very good school and has produced some very fine men.
Really...my hubbie was in the last class at the Naval Academy that was all male...”the last class with b*lls”!
I’m happy with the education the kid got too at H-S...he went into the place academically weak and came out with a great GPA - this despite all the pahr-teyin’...
But we do have a soft spot for VMI, being a military family...cheers.
You beat me to it -- exactly what I was thinking.
Thanks for the correction, I wasn't sure, but Lee certainly wasn't such the genius after old Stonewall was gone.
Imagine Jackson on the right at Gettysburg instead of Longstreet.
