I'm quite amazed that IFF WP is truly the best of the best. (Because as we all know, jealously is unhappy admiration.) How the fuck did these self-righteous sheboons-by-coiche pass the screening?

I'd say that if they are really into that blakk powah only blakk lilfhs mattah, then they are racists. And then they aren't fit to defend the US at all.
Yeah, if there's an all-out war, everyone with at least a pulse will be fit for duty. There's your trench, please die with dignity.

But there is no all-out war against the US. They can afford the luxury to stomp out ideologues.

Fuck! Let's say it right out. Me, a european potbellied male at 40 is more worth than them and more fit to be a cadet than them. Class of 2021, anyone?

My Grandfather graduated from west point, class of 1941, he was a combat engineer in the second world war, and was in the second wave of D-day, Utah beachhead. He went on to join the CIA as a German and Russian translator, earned a shit-ton of medals in the whole process and retired early.

SameAnon, Anon.

I have one standard for everyone. I also discern between undefendable and understandable. If some indian woman in some shit village in the shittiest part of India is totally /killallmen/, then it's undefendable but understandable. And if she gets new information about men in the rest of the world and doesn't change her view on men, then its' not understandable anymore, unless you can find some explanation that she's totally resistent to new facts.

These cadets are just another gang leeching on the Army and Marine. Because it has "hardware". Fuck, I would like to see those self-rigtheous femtards be pitted against roof koreans. See how much /blackpowah/ they are then.

>Utah beachhead
Visited Normandie this April. Utah Beach was actually the only beach I set foot upon. I really liked that place. I imagined that there would be monumentual monuments and shit. But the monuments was pretty cool and low-key. And to the right there was houses and some kind of tree of peace.

I just don't understand how first class cadets, now commissioned officers could think this was a good idea that wouldn't bring a negative stigma against them.

I think that they banked on the pic being discovered sooner or later and it woudl only strengthen their political market value.

All things different, the racist populist fascist swedish party Sverigedemorkaterna has, like the BLM-activists, constant unluck with their members. From time to time there's always some video of them singing racist songs or behaving like general asshats being uncovered. But they don't care. Because they know that in their in-group, they will be considered cool!

So speaking of them. Is there any probability that they will see combat? Probably not, unless there's a war between EU and Russia and the US just has to butt in, lest the shit hits the fan.

And what position would they get after the war? Totally a weaker position. Partly because EU passed the test and therefore has little respect for identity politics. We all europeans now. And partly because the americans was finally reminded about what war is.

You are in the extreme minority if you actually feel that way. More likely, you are just giving lip service to the Pan-European ideal, but you actually identify as a particular ethnicity/nation. Nationalism never went away. In fact, it is one of the dominant forces in the European situation. Poles are still Poles, English are still English, Greeks are still Greeks.

So, I say to you, get real and stop spewing propaganda as if it were reality

Maybe it's just me, but my peers who have graduated from VMI give me an unspoken vibe of superiority. At least WPer's don't pretend they don't think it.

What part of the condition "war between EU and Russia" did you miss?

You're also "missing" the fact that a person can be Athenian AND Greek AND European. Do you really think that americans ONLY AND ONLY see themselves as americans?

>>30937767
>unspoken vibe of superiority

It happens with some of the guys that graduate. It's a great school that has it's advantages and problems but they don't realize that there are quality folks that commission via other means. A lot of marine options I graduated with are like that. I know for a fact the army commissioned dudes are told to tone it down and refrain from saying anything about it because nobody will give a shit. It's a cult we struggled to join and damn it we are proud of our cult. But I went non-com (medically disqualified my senior year) so I wouldn't know how alum act on active duty. VMI grads know what each other went through so its easy to identify and interact with them because we can be socially retarded assholes, its easy to get along with other assholes.

>I have yet to see a VMI graduate caught dead without that giant frigging ring

We survived to junior year to get one, its a point of pride and a way to find other graduates. I'll bump into guys at the airport who notice it and that'll initiate a trip to the bar.

Allow me to laugh at you even harder. The worst part is, you know inside your head that it's a lie. You are just refusing to break the conditioning, even as your own felt identity disagrees with the words from your mouth. You personally identify as being of one ethnic nation, but you can't speak it openly, even on the internet.

Nah just like the Italian navy we would rescue them and transport them to America because their boats are too rickety and it would be a humanitarian disaster

The US army which has by this time instituted quotas for black,gay,women,transexuals and of course black-gaywomen-transexual officers is unable to cope with this onslaught

Class of 2010 here. Yeah let me clear the air on the Academy a bit. I myself was a Prior Service so my perspective on the place is at odds with what someone straight from High School, or a civilian, views the academy. For one, someone wondered how they got into a premier academy. Understand Corps Squad (NCAA teams) account for the majority of recruited individuasl and Cadets (that is to say, the single biggest group, not 51% or < of the corps) as a result you see PLENTY of 'sub-standard' cadets present who got in on Athletic ability alone. I'd say, 20-25% of the corp are legit geniuses (refered to as Engineers by the corps, as opposed to Goats who are... not as swiift) but bear in the mind this refers to academic thinking, NOT mature thought or leadership ability. I'd say overall 1-50, maybe 1-60 cadets are the Steryotyped, "Good guy, good leader, gona have a great career as an officer" type. The vast majority are a bit egocentric and for a VARIETY of reasons end up fiving and diving (75% when I was there).

Well, it means that EU passed trough the crucible and all the people in EU regards themselves as europeans and therefore have little tolerance for identity politics.

There would not proably be a shift in the american identity, but the tolerance for identity politics would decrease, nonetheless.

If this is all true, explain Brexit. The European Union, while I can admit it is a great idea, and would be ultimately better for the world (much like communism or facism arguably would), it goes against mankinds base insticts of indentity and self-determination.
Humans just can't get along with people who are overly different to thenselves, and so the EU is doomed to fail. We have made great progress in the last few generations, but maybe it is too fast for some (vast rise in militant and political terror groups on racist/statist/religious grounds).

Family history is a bit spotty so that's to be expected. I should clarify;

On my mom's side, biological grandfather died in a car accident, stepgrandad, the WW2 vet, married grandmother.

On dad's side, biological grandfather was in the Navy, recon plane radioman yadda yadda, operated in the pacific, never saw action but once did get a fly-by from a Russian MiG. Divorced biological grandmother, married her best friend.

Biological grandmother married ANOTHER WW2 vet, also a navy guy, was a crewman aboard a submarine stationed in the phillipines. Spent alot of time suntanning and riding up and down the submarine isles like a water slide when the seas got rough.

Glad all of the marital messiness got squared away before I was born, it's crazy.
