Even though it is an extremely well written example, it's basically the classic anti-military-ethos topic that's been around forever in many civilizations. ( Do I need to add that it is an argument to which I am very sympathetic? I think so, because it's Lulu posting here.) The one little thing is that he basically admits a West Point education is good, that it taught him to think independently and that he ended up teaching others there to think independently.  Very surprising to me, a pleasant surprise, something to be proud of, as in: this country not all bad!</p> </div></div></div> Mon, 01 Apr 2019 17:24:04 +0000 artappraiser comment 266406 at http://dagblog.com
