I'm not sure if , as an American, I want the elites returning to our military. Somehow the officer corps from the academies and from the Rotcie programs in the heartland have provided a sensible combination of quality and patriotism and leadership.

Those students weaned on the politically correct pablum of the Ivies would not be my first choice to lead my child over the hill.

The President of Harvard may be well intentioned, but I'd decline his offer. Better to have his best and brightest go into the sciences and develop better weapons for our forces and better medicines to defend against the consequences of insane hatred.

The ivies science programs are weak. Mostly they produce writers no one reads, lawyers and politicians. At one time they were culturally incestious and closed, now they are intellectually incestious and closed. I don't see them having, ever, any effect on the millitary culture. Too dirty, too much hard work. The nco's would break their self esteem in days, really thick ones would receive purple harts the hard way.

Very well said. Thank you.

It's not so easy in the midwest either...
ROTC in the Heartland
Lutheran School doesn't want those who discriminate, while gladly taking state and federal monies
