info_outlineRick Dirtwater, an alumnus of Virginia Military Institute and an occasional opinion writer for Identity Dixie, gives us a deep dive into the cultural genocide happening at the historic school, which used to be the proving ground for making modern cavaliers and gentlemen warriors. So, Dirtwater shares his personal experience with the former VMI ethos and its Spartan lifestyle of regimented training used to build men of strong character. Unfortunately (and predictably), the institution has finally fallen victim to the cancer of wokeness.
We discuss how the devolution has occurred, including the abolition of the “old corps” via SCOTUS’s United States v. Virginia some 25 years ago, “turncoat” Ralph Northam’s totalitarian reconstruction of the Old Dominion and its premiere military school, and the fourth-estate hit pieces insisting that the college has a “racist and sexist culture.” Whereas “Save the males” used to be the rallying cry around VMI, the progressive precept is now death by 1,000 cuts and you’d better damn like it. Such barbaric times leave little room for honor, which is precisely by design.
Some further reading on VMI and Virginians’ roots as a martial and dutiful people:
