Ummm, no disrespect, but the fact that you carry a weapon and your user-name is Holy War scares the heck out of me.
I hope that is a joke/sarcasm of some kind and not based on your personal beliefs and ethics.

"The West Point of the South"

its similar, but you can go into any branch of the service, not just the Army. George C. Marshall is probably our most distinguished Alumni

ya, we were rival military colleges back in the day, but since the North won the war, we kinda went to the wayside as being secondary to west point.

We no longer have mandatory commissioning, but over 50% of graduates do serve. Guys like Stonewall Jackson taught here and General Jumper USAF and General Peay USA(our superintendent and former CentCom Commander) both went here. Patton even went here for a semester before he got kicked out. His dad and grandpa both came to VMI. Chesty Puller also went here for a year then dropped out and enlisted in the Marines

we have a small student body, only 1400 but we are the #1 ranked liberal arts college in the country
