Interesting Tidbits

[Bill Richter]

For what it is worth, Land Grant Colleges also were to teach military science (ROTC) which was dropped in the 1960s because of the Viet Nam war. I remember taking 2 years of compulsory ROTC. I really didn't care, because drill was easy, we got to shoot in a target range under the stadium (I had good site groupings, as they called it then), and the indoor classes were easy A's for me. My paper in Military History was Stonewall Jackson's Valley Campaign and how he utilized the principle of war to win and for US Army and National Security a blurb on the Korean War--which was fairly current--giving you all a feeling for how old I am.
