But that's kinda the whole point here. The instructor was correct by any standard any competent university is going to use. That standard conflicts with the worldview TPUSA and its allies hold. There's no compromise with these people.

Leaving aside the fact that it didn't actually answer the prompt - the reason the instructor flunked the student - it's abominably written, cites nothing, and has no foundational argument other than its preconceived biases. The instructor was correct.

I'd have been a lot less kind grading this than the instructor at OU was, TPUSA not exactly beating the "affirmative action for white Christians" allegations here

The United States has soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, Coastguardsmen, and Guardians.

We've fought plenty of warriors. We don't need a single one.
For the record, this is the point of having a “warrior” culture, to having notions of honor attached to the military profession is so that dishonor can is feared. Military service is honored but if you fail to uphold standards—including refusing illegal orders—you must be dishonored.
This is also why I hate hearing “it’s hard to disobey orders.” It’s hard to endure danger. It’s hard to not give up information. That’s precisely why there must be no ground given on the matter—when you bear arms, you take on that responsibility and must endure the consequences if you fail.

Some ppl have seemingly forgot that political news media spun up a "Biden secretly has parkinsons" story out of a doctor visiting the WH while the admin was working on Parkinsons policy or that Nuzzis big "Biden didnt remember me" piece was written when she was secretly working for RFK Jrs campaign
The actual "worse than watergate" scandal is how much news media collectively worked to ratfuck a Democratic presidency by largely inventing health/mental acuity concerns for hyperventilate about while largely ignoring the very real & worsening issues in front of their faces from Trump

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.
