what is the reasoning behind pretending you're a military school?
Texas A&M was originally a military-only school.
It's one of the Senior Military Colleges. In the same class as the Citadel, VMI, Norwich, Virginia Tech, etc. Always forget the sixth. I think it's in Georgia though.

...and their commissionees don't let you forget it.
How I would describe the SMCs and USMA:
USMA: All slightly weird. Half are brown-nosing, undercutting super studs. Half are chill and don't like to talk about having gone to West Point.
VT: Normal. They never really talk about how VT is a SMC.
Norwich: Yankee assholes who are assholes not because they went to Norwich but just because they're all assholes. I haven't met a single one that wasn't an a-hole and also a good Officer. Weird people. Most of them are psychopaths.
Citadel: Cool people but they usually party a little too hard. They all have crazy stories but not in an annoying "look at me and this school I went to" way. Never met a Citadel grad I didn't get along well with.
VMI: Generally easy-going but also weird at the same time. Every fresh out of VMI 2LT I've met was overweight, not sure what was going on with that. Serious USMA inferiority complexeses. Love to talk about Patton.
UNG: Halfwits with inferiority complexeses who all look slightly malformed...like their mothers drank while they were pregnant or something. I've come to the conclusion that UNG is not a quality education.
TAMU: 75% of them are a combination of all the worst Ring Knocker and Texan stereotypes. 25% are cool as shite. Cue input from CGSC Lobotomy, he's one of the good ones.

The 6th is in Georgia but if I were to rank them for historical prestige then VMI would top the list followed close behind by The Citadel. TAMU and VPI (while both good schools) have leveraged up by growing their student body size far beyond the scope of the cadets.

Also produced more officers during WWII than any other school, including the military academies. 14,000.
