"The arsenal of freedom builds the sword right here in Texas, but that blade will be wielded as it always has been, by the Aggies standing in front of me today. I do not see an academic institution trying to apologize for American strength; I see backbone and resolve, and the uncompromising future of the United States and the United States armed forces. I see a real, grounded, strong institution, which is exactly what our nation needs. I make you this personal pledge: just as my fellow soldiers had my back on the battlefield in Iraq and Afghanistan, I will always have your back. And you can know that our commander in chief has your back every single day."

I see down votes and ask why? The message is clear and without football or sports involved should be a message that our country rallies around. I am an Auburn fan by the way.

I downvoted. Can’t stand the beneficiary of our tax dollars being the MIC as we fight Israel’s war. I also preferred the title Secretary of Defense over Secretary of War.

What the hell is he talking about? Less than 40% of those dorks ever serve in the military. The vast majority are just playing dress up.

That blade has not ever and never will be wielded by Aggy

Because equating God’s call for a prophet to bring his message of repentance to the Israelites to service in the American military is blasphemy.

That isn’t even taking into consideration that same person has constantly been seeking escalation of global conflict.

I really don’t think it is that complicated.

Dude quoted Pulp Fiction when he thought he was quoting the bible. He’s a fake Christian for the Republican clout. He’s completely unqualified for his job and could get us into WW3.

I don’t think he’s fake. I think he’s one of those fringe lunatic evangelicals that thinks he can force God’s hand and bring about the second coming with the third temple. American politics have been been littered with these types over the past century.

It actually makes sense with his “Send me” messaging from Isaiah. He believes he’s on a mission from God to bring about the rapture.

No, they do not deserve major props. Most of their corps doesn't actually get commissioned, only 40% do. LSU puts 80% of its ROTC members into officer slots, although the quantity is fewer. UT Dallas commissions 35 people a year, which is about 1/5 of the vaunted aggy "military school" BS with it's massive uniformed band acting like try hards.

It's a social club for the most part, built out of guilt and "tradition" (described by aggy admissions consultants as anything we do more than twice is tradition.)

There are far more prior enlisted attending that aren't in the Corps that don't participate in reindeer games put on mostly to get status in the university and get laid.
