This was just three months after 73,000 fans witnessed Texas A&M win their last mens national championship
0 of those 73,000 fans were available for an interview this morning when I called

Was Hitler for or against the Yell Crew?

Did Germany invade with their real army, or with a pretend army from Bavaria Agrikultural and Mekanik Universitat?

If my history knowledge serves me correctly I think the Danish surrendered to the Nazis in 9 minutes.
Pussies.

During WWII a total of 20,229 Aggies served in World War II, 14,123 served as officers and 953 died in service.
So more Aggies served in WW2 than what's currently enrolled at LSU

cool story
During World War II, LSU was one of the top four schools producing officers for the U.S. Armed Forces. (The other schools were Texas A&M, West Point, and Annapolis). LSU had more than 5,000 former students serving as officers, including 16 who achieved the rank of Brigadier General or higher. In all, 12,000 individuals from LSU served, and over 500 died in this great conflict.

There was a large nazi movement in this country in the 1930’s. Perhaps they sent hitler updates.

Question, are you one of the many that are always making fun of A&Ms ROTC program?

Most schools shut down their entire football programs due to unavailability of young men during the war. Even Alabama. But not Notre Dame. Rich east coast Catholics got exemptions. And they broadcast ND games over national radio as they won "National Championships" against the few other skeleton teams. And this is where the Notre Dame mystique comes from.

Yes the corps of cadets is stupid and so is ROTC in general

This right here is what matters.

Then why would you post the numbers from LSU and WW2?

Because I wanted to be like you

I have the utmost respect for those who left their homes in Baton Rouge and fought in WW2, rivalry be damned. I don't care if they went to LSU.
Anyone that pokes fun of the military based on some silly hatred over football games is pure trash

Hitler did not care for the Aggies too much. They pretty much kicked his arse in WW2. Seven Aggies won the Congressional Medal of Honor during WW2, five of which were in Europe fighting the Germans.
During WW2, A&M had more officers in the war than the two other military academies combined.
