I say keep the military academies & abolish the faux ones like VMI & Citadel...

If you get rid of The Citadel where would Dback troll for bait..?
He's allowed to have a meat market too... (right?)

Now this is some serious Liberal crazy talk that gives me wood...

"They are not the hallowed arbiters of quality promised by their myths. Their traditions mask bloated government money-sucks that consistently underperform. They are centers of nepotism that turn below-average students into average officers. They are indulgences that taxpayers, who fund them, can no longer afford. They’ve outlived their use, and it’s time to shut them down."

"The most compelling and obvious argument is the financial one.
It officially costs about $205,000 to produce a West Point graduate, although a 2003 Government Accountability Office study put the price tag at more than $300,000; officers at the Air Force and Naval academies are minted for $322,000 and $275,000, respectively. According to at least one measurement, that’s about four times as much as it costs to produce an officer through the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, which trains officers-to-be while they attend civilian colleges."

I thought for sure this was a lead-in to a piece on Johnny "Flameout" McCain.

OK Nerd, How much does it cost to maintain an F-22 over the span of 10 years? You know this question?

Ok retard, do you know how to ASK a question? Learn to read and write, then we'll talk.

You can look it up yourself. The Raptor is supposed to replace the F-15 and F-16. Why don't you tally up those life cycle costs of those two aircrafts and compare it to the F-22. Besides, I thought you were hung up on the F-35.

Yes.

About the same as maintaining a Russian T50 or a Chinese J30.

Seriously Klean... you get flogged like a bishop every time you go there. You should just back away quietly.

Spoke like a guy who's reported to the CO of the mess-kit repair battallion [sic] his whole life.

Maybe if you knew how to spell things like battalion, you wouldn't have ended up a mop-pushing grunt your whole life, dawg.

There are no less than FIVE gramatical errors in that post alone.

There is nothing wrong with being enlisted. I started out as a E-4 in the Army before I attended OCS. If you can't follow, then you have no business trying to lead. I've seen too many 2nd LT's who thought they knew everything about the U.S. Army.

Or about 5th GEN fighters.

5th Gen Fighters= 22 Million Dollar Repuke Hard-ons

Democrats allowed it as well, so easy there, killer. You can't fight a war with outdated weapons or support. We were using WW1 surplus at the beginning of WW2. The French refused to upgrade and it cost the many lives in Ww1.

22 million?

I believe a shiny brand new F-18 comes in at about 18, so 22 is a bargain

Correct me if Im wrong, I did not look up the price of a F-18

Well we still put pilots in the fighters so thats pretty outdated and performance-limiting right there.
