The Trump Presidency 2.0

lol ;) well played

IMO, the real radicalization isn't taking place as much in the grad programs as it is in the undergrad ones. Grad students, particularly military members, tend to be older, more experienced, more critical, and more willing to push back, It's the undergrads that get it the hardest, and the most.

My hypothesis is that most of the schools on that list have very few "out and proud" conservatives. By taking away the .mil folks, you're even further reducing the number of centrist-to-conservative minds at those schools, and undergrads and grad students with a centrist-to-conservative bent will have even fewer role models and mentors.

At the same time, if there isn't a chance for growth and development out in the force between undergrad and grad school (i.e. straight to grad school after commissioning), then those minds are often ripe for manipulation. If I were in charge, there would be no one that the .gov paid to go to undergrad school go straight to grad school after commissioning, unless it's something like med school because it takes so long to get through it. Everyone would go into the force first, serve the entirety of their first commitment (normally 5 years) and THEN you can compete to go to grad school. By then you have some life experience, but more importantly you actually know something about the military, and probably have a better appreciation for American because you'll have been to places in the world that aren't some kind of glorified curated internship and know that America really isn't that bad in comparison. You'll also have a fully-developed brain and be able to resist the kind of political indoctrination that drives you to do produce things like this: An anti racist west point

Duke is also on the list, and I agree with your undergrad vs grad assessment. In my very narrow experience grad students tent to be locked-in and shoulder-to-the-grindstone kind of people, older, and more mature. I ain't got time for that.

A taxi driver?

I kid, I kid. That would be very cool. Can't wait for one of the books to come out. I bet Rob O'Neill flew the first helo.

I think that would be the 160th's first MOH.

It'd also be the first for an army aviator since Vietnam.

wow—a MoH for a guy who actually lived, on a mission that was actually a success.

I hope it’s a 160th guy, but even if not… good news and well done.

I'd say it has to be the Chinook pilot who got injured. From what i remember seeing, the one got injured before the infil, still put the dudes down, then managed to limp the bird back home.
Trump described it a bit more about it Over the weekend.
Operation Absolute Resolve — which involved more than 200 forces and 150 aircraft — left American helicopter pilots wounded “pretty bad in the legs,” Trump said during an address to troops at Fort Bragg, a major Army installation in North Carolina. Trump explained that the pilots landed on a “couple of machine gunners” who made it through a “thicket of bombs,” before adding: “but they were taken out rapidly by our snipers who were stationed on platforms.”

Boomer and older GenX Canadian's are fucking retarded. Bunch of Commie Cucks!

They must have only surveyed ball gag wearing leftists. I'm sick of the Canuckistani Pravda emitting the parts of the so called "trade" agreement with China, like official cooperation between state owned media and national law enforcement. So now all the illegal police stations that they had to spy on and harass Chinese political exiles. Also to manipulate and interfere in our elections.
But the Big Bad Orange Man makes a joke about taking over our country to save us from the Commie Cucks. So America is now our mortal enemy. Fuck them. I'm going to Wal-Mart later this week just out of spite. Also to get cheap gas across the border.

Majority concerned about possible threat from U.S. to Canada’s sovereignty: Nanos survey

According to the survey, 64 per cent of respondents say they feel concerned, while 19 per cent say they are not concerned, and 17 per cent say they are neutral, about the U.S. being a threat to Canadian sovereignty.

Broken down by demographic, the age group with the highest level of concern is Canadians aged 55 and older, while women are also more likely to be concerned than men — 69.3 per cent compared to 57.9 per cent — and people in Atlantic Canada are more likely to be concerned than those in the Prairies.

You can't be afraid if you don't know a threat exists.

I'm not surprised by the numbers because modern messaging is emotional, not intellectual or logical. Fighting emotion with logic is almost a losing fight. I can actually have a discussion with a far left person who will listen to my argument over a screeching banshee of stupid.

It also doesn't help that the majority of our media sources are partially or completely government funded.

This is the President of the Canadian Media Producers Association.

I agree - the part that I don't like about that is having to give Mr Roarke 50,000 bucks for the weekend on Fantasy Island that it takes to find one...

There are a few. I've moved the needle a little with them on the 2A and a few topics. I use facts and keep emotion out of the equation. I've found they aren't fans of bluntness, but they don't require coddling. The older ones are more accepting of that but the younger ones I know respond to neutral not inflammatory language.

I think they are so used to inflammatory, emotional bullshit its the equivalent of whispering where the person strains to hear you. I don't tell them they are wrong, I offer a different view with facts.

Plus that keeps my blood pressure in check.
