“At least something in our commonwealth isn’t caving to Marxism......”

I know. Feel the same. Being from the south-western portion of the state it’s painful to know Virginia looks like America regarding voting. All red except for Richmond and coastal areas (Let’s not forget Danville and it’s violence being blue). But they screwed the real Virginians with a liberal nutso governor. Sad

Marxists sucking at the Fed teat in DC and suburbs have invaded our beautiful commonwealth and taken over.

Sickening.

If I’m not mistaken,most if not all senior officers United States officers before the war. You can’t take that away.

And they're all, officially, considered veterans.

“a restaurant called the Little Red Hen.”


This eatery, given a name which is very telling.

RED =associated with Communism.
HEN = just a chicken; normally, female)

The name says it all!

The confederate generals they honor were Professors or Grads of VMI.

The monument of the battle was the only instance where a command of cadets engaged in a battle in the civil war.

There was another instance where the cadets of Norwich were mobilized to Newport VT to engage Confederate infiltrators coming down from Magog, QE. In the end, there were nothing but civilians and livestock on the ferry. The Norwich boys were standing there ready to blow them away.

No statue for those boys.

Good luck to him. Nothing like the first few weeks at a military college.

The only advice I ever give to parents: Don’t let him quit. He might want to because it sucks and it is so different than his “friend’s” experiences in college. Don’t let him do it. He will thank you in a year.
