This forum from a longhorn site will get your blood boiling on how ignorant people are.

People are dead set in their ways in believing that there is no connection to the military any more and the Corps is just a bunch of people who want to play army.

From the inception of the agricultural branch college of The University of Texas through WWII, any warm blooded redneck seeking a second rate farm education could just walk in and start classes. Since there was no screening for an aptitude for education, the rate of failure for those entering ****, as compared to the service academies, was beyond astronomical. Remember that from opening its doors through WWI, fewer than 8% of those attending the farm college graduated and served in the military in any capacity, and fewer than half those served as officers, so the rate of which **** graduates served as officers during the first half-century the schools existence was roughly 4%. For the service academies, that number was well over 95%. If the goal of the **** corps of cadets was to develop individuals with the necessary skills to serve their country as leaders in the military, ****'s first half century was an abysmal failure.

Their WWII "more officers than West Point and Annapolis combined" fairy tale is simply laughable.

West Point and Annapolis have long had entrance requirements, meant to screen out those lacking the aptitude to graduate and serve their country as commissioned officers. Failure was never allowed to be part of the culture of the service academies. ****, on the other hand, recognized failure as a large part of their culture. Few students of the WWII who enrolled ever came close to obtaining degrees, either in times or war or times of peace. hence, the reason **** compares on figure of theirs (total students who were enrolled for at least one day, but who somehow obtained a commission) with another metric for the academies (individuals who completed four year of rigorous academic and military training and then served).

One thing that demonstrates how clueless the **** culture is to matters of military leadership is in how the overwhelming majority of their graduates denigrate the value of a liberal arts education. **** good, liberal arts, bad.

After WWII, the leadership of the academies evaluated the shortcomings of the skill set of their graduates (something **** would never do, out of recognition that the list of deficiencies of the **** education is too extensive). One of the major changes the service academies made was to change the curriculum to reflect the changing nature of military conflicts (there is the "change" word the **** psyche can't understand). WWII showed military conflicts became more about taking and holding territory, and the effective administration of the societies occupying those lands, than set piece conflicts between large armies, the post-WWII curriculum of West Point and Annapolis began to focus more on matters of history, government, culture, religion, linguistics, psychology and the like. Today, West Point, Annapolis and USAFA are all considered liberal arts colleges. But wait, **** mocks liberal arts educations and **** is smart in military matters. They's a real military school!

$#@! ****, $#@! their fraudulent military "history," $#@! their senior administrators who knowingly teach fraudulent, cult-inspired versions of military history which denigrate the service of those who graduated from the nation's service academies. They are a sick, $#@!ed-up, unpatriotic culture more beholden to their fabricated cult teachings than on principles of service, patriotism or respect.

Liberal arts majors are at the forefront of protecting our nation. Among those liberal arts graduates are the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Chief of Naval Operations, Air Force Chief of Staff, Joint Chiefs Director of Intelligence, Director of the Joint Chiefs, Director of Operations of the Joint Chiefs, Vice Director of the Joint Chiefs, Vice Director for Strategic Planning and Policy and thousands of others. But **** thinks a cult-driven **** edumacation is superior to the education of any of our nation's military leaders. The answer to that is no. The **** education produces false "leaders" such as Joe Ramirez who end up teaching fraudulent versions of military "history" designed to ensure Cadet Snowflake is a loyal and dedicated cult member as they go through life.
