Educated Soldiers

I was driving past the Marine base on my way to San Diego about a week ago. I was thinking about why there are some soldiers today that are criticizing the gov't the way only hippies used too. And then I realized...most of the problems in our nation come from the intellecual class--the academic elite, who have cut themselves off from the mainstream to such a point that their education no longer means anything, they're just stupid.

We have a considerable amount of educated soliders today serving. Now, that is not a bad thing--certainly the men and women that serve our nation in defense deserve educations. But it does seem wrong, sickly ironic even, that several of the institutes that give these men and women educations essentially hate the occupation that these men and women hold.

There is something seriously and gravely wrong with our education systyem...not just the K-12 stuff either. The average higher education is more indoctrinating than almost any church or even political rally. Its disturbing. And, it'll destroy our ability to defend ourselves, because with liberal centers educating the officers that lead the armies of our nation...how can we expect to have the spines necessary to get the job done?
