Activist Generals Are Transforming the Air Force Academy
By Scott Sturman

In September, the United States Air Force Academy class of 1972 met for its 50th year reunion. Compared to our experience, the Academy of today is virtually unrecognizable.

America’s foundational institutions are under assault.  For decades the siege progressed incrementally, imperceptible to most observers.  But recently the pace has accelerated, avoiding all pretense of subtlety.  In the case of USAFA, activist generals serve as a vivid example of how a few influential individuals are able to implement President Obama’s call to fundamentally change American society.

Nowadays, when visiting USAFA, one is impressed by the comfortable, relaxed atmosphere.  Gone are the days when cadets lived under unremitting pressure, stood at rigid attention, and bore the brunt of verbal abuse from upper class cadets.  Uniforms are still worn, but in reality, cadet life is drifting away from that of a traditional military academy and towards a liberal arts environment.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Activist Generals

Is that the new way to say "Communist agents"?

I remember seeing photos of a West Point graduating class celebrating graduation and receiving their commissions as officers in the US Army,and at least two of the graduating cadets removing their jackets to reveal hammer and sickle communist imprints on their t-shirts.

IMNSHO,they should have been shot to death on the spot.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Surely, the commies were bragging about that somewhere on line. IIRC, there was some quiet, but belated action taken against them by the Army.

Thank you! It lowers my blood pressure to know that happened.
