    Gender Gap

    I'm not sure how posting a website that has articles on males being underrepresented shows that affirmative action is rewarded to males based on their gender. In many colleges Asians are severely underrepresented, but those same Asians still do not receive affirmative action based on their race...

    Gender Gap

    I find it quite troubling that sexist posts like this are getting "liked" by so many people. Could you please link me to the site where you found this information? I'm guessing you drew this conclusion by looking at information regarding service academy/ROTC retention rates by gender or...

    Are Watches Regulated?

    I would bring a watch that allows you to set multiple alarms, and is very loud. When I went through beast, there was basically no time during the day to go to the bathroom at a comfortable rate, so I would just set an alarm for 0300 each day and go to the bathroom then, as no one would be...

    Running Start

    I would recommend against validating courses at USMA. If you are good enough at a subject that you can validate a course, you could probably get an A/A+ in the course if you took it and that would help out a lot with your GPA and class rank. An exception to this would be if you want to do a...

    SF and West Point

    If you want to go SF, West Point might not be the best route for you to take. Last summer at CFT there were some task force that was SF. One of the SF NCOs was a former West Point cadet that left when he was told it was unlikely he'd be able to go SF. Another one of the SF NCOs was a former Air...

    Current Cow at the academy. Ask me anything!

    WB-4 is where you go to return/get issued items. Sometimes you go to WB-9 to do the same thing. -A "fake" cadet

    North Korea threatens strike on Guam

    I believe he was calling me a troll, not you.

    North Korea threatens strike on Guam

    Both of your claims are baseless, unfounded, incorrect, and insulting.

    North Korea threatens strike on Guam

    If that was in response to me, I don't believe Kim is unwilling to allow 10-15% of his population to starve. I never believed it was hundreds of millions either

    North Korea threatens strike on Guam

    **28 billion US $ was North Korea's GDP last year** Sorry it wouldn't let me edit my previous post for some reason.

    North Korea threatens strike on Guam

    I'm not sure how exactly this would work. Kim is free to spend the entirety of the GDP of North Korea however he pleases. If he wants to spend less of it on grain even thought that means millions of people will starve to death, he can do that. Currently defense spending takes up 23.3% of their...

    North Korea threatens strike on Guam

    I asked very respectfully on the previous page for there not to be joking on this thread that is of a very serious nature.

    North Korea threatens strike on Guam

    Aren't ad hominem remarks great? If I make a feeble argument, attack it, rip it to shreds, and show me why I'm wrong. Simply saying I'm young and naïve provides nothing to the discussion. Talking about hundreds of millions or more being killed is easy on here. Trying to cover your mother's body...

    North Korea threatens strike on Guam

    North Korea's economy is not very reliant on trade, so could someone please explain to me how this economic strangulation is supposed to work :rolleyes: I don't see how a collapse would take place even if 100% of trade was cut off from them... Anyone care to explain how this collapse would happen?

    North Korea threatens strike on Guam

    If you actually think that is a possible option you haven't read enough about North Korea. What worked over 45 years with the Soviet Union? They collapsed because they overspent trying to compete with us in an arms race. What the hell does that have to do with North Korea being "strangled" by...

    North Korea threatens strike on Guam

    When I said that quote, I was simply paraphrasing what @Raimus said since he asked me the following question: And I believe that it is our interest to preemptively strike North Korea. It is not my decision to do that, and if the US decides not to do that I will continue to give my best effort...

    North Korea threatens strike on Guam

    We have never once gotten a country overthrown through sanctions... Who are you expecting to overthrow the government? This is the country where a man and his entire family was sent to a prison camp because he absentmindedly mopped up a spilled drink with a newspaper featuring a picture of Kim...

    How ROTC Process Works Without Scholarship

    If you're open to other branches, Army ROTC scholarships are a lot easier to get than Air Force ones. Also, the what are you planning on majoring in? Certain majors make it easier to get scholarships.

    North Korea threatens strike on Guam

    It's not my fault that people elect to make personal attacks instead of having a civil discussion. The reason some of the threads have gotten out of hand is because people started attacking other people instead of their arguments. And actually, none of my threads are locked...
