I served 24 years in the Air Force, the last 19 in the weather career field which had a pretty large number of aTm grads in our ranks. There were 2 alma maters that made you shake your head when you saw them on your inbounds list...the Academy and aTm. Almost to a person, they had some sort of personality defect and an overt sense of superiority. Difficult people to work with.And the media only puts a favorable gloss on those traditions: "oh look at the lovely fake solders 'thank you for your service." They won't touch with a ten foot poll the sickness behind the fake soldiers and milkmen: the jizz jars, the boot fetish, the fraudulent claiming of WW2 Medal of Honor winners as their "alumni," the Klan history, assaulting students for forgetting to remove a baseball cap before entering certain buildings, attacking opposing cheerleaders with swords and on and on. The national audience isn't give a true picture of how deeply warped that place is.
