great reading -
I attended a "theme" dinner part last night and sat by a young couple unknown to me. In talkng with the young man, he (essentially) admitted he enrolled at a&m because he was not accepted to west point, He grew up in Connecticut. His family was all military and they had raised him in this way, also. It struck me that this young man had been fooled in to thinking a&m = west point. I pity any young man who is rejected by west point and so commits/ enrolls at a&m.
There should be some public service notice/anouncement for famillies so that they do not continue to be fooled.

I'll bust A&Ms chops but some of the best Marines I've ever known are Aggies. In many ways it's superior to West Point.
The public service announcement should pertain to message board idiots. A&Ms military history speaks for itself.

You must realize that West Point graduates do not become marines, so I do not understand your point.
My point stated succinctly, is that kids who can not get into west point are duped into thinking a&m is the next best thing, and we all know, no matter how hard aggy tries to copycat WP, it is not.

I've never heard any Aggie say A&M is trying to be Westpoint. Also, in what ways are we trying to copycat West Point?

My experience with Aggies (not related to Internet message boards) is basically what Dubbicans described, military or civilian. All of the Aggies I know are hard working, blue collar for the most part, raising families with good morals and discipline. I find it really sad that A&M is being defined by a few young kids on websites. I've never met an Aggie that acts anything like what we've seen on message boards. I really hope the nonsense ends soon.
