A writing instructor warned me decades ago about using "we". Considering that us older folks were involved in demonstrations against Nixon, Ryan was teaching his grandparents to suck eggs if he meant us. That's why "we" is a dangerous word to use.
like I said, the gifting didn't work so I can't read it. p.s. for a 37 year old to quote that forgetting that most people in the us are older than him, is like mansplaining.
I'm looking forward to retirement to MORE on learning, for learning's sake. This is something I did a lot as a young adult, but it's had to take back seat for decades to focus on career & children.
If you don't care about learning when demands of those others have waned, what DO you care about now?
Thank you for sharing this important piece, General. My son is a recent USNA grad and his experience with the Stockdale Center and lecturers like Mr Holiday was impactful to his leadership development.
Thank you for gifting this excellent article. I am a retiree in SC and cannot afford these high subscription prices even though the writings are so important.
It gives you pause to think that institutions like Harvard are able to resist (mainly because of their endowment), but the Academies can not, even though this might be interpreted as an unlawful order under the 1st amendment.
"Let's educate ourselves IF we are going to run a free government." But if we are NOT going to run a free government, let's NOT educate ourselves. Instead, let's be educated in alternate facts by self-interested liars, not educated people who've actually studied things.
Thank you for that. Not only for bringing my attention to it, but for sharing as a gift article so I can share with one of my closest friends who is also a Naval Academy graduate, and he may further share as he deems.

We need our military leaders, vets to do what they do best
LEAD US 🇺🇸🫡
Big protests every Sat
Little protests every week day at noon
Coordinated production, distribution of information leaflets dropped by helicopter 🚁
Auditoriums, theatres used for teach-ins on peaceful resistance
