Are you implying that every aggy who attended A&M in 1940 was an officer? I'm sure it was a VERY small percentage of the total ROTC.
That is, unless they were giving out high ranks to every slap dick who joined, which is very possible, considering aggy and their tactics.
None of your bleating changes the fact that A&M's enrollment swelled when the draft was instituted in 1940, in large part to avoid the draft.
It's all right there, documented.
Poor aggy.

A&M sent over 20,000 officers to fight in World War II alone. (1941-1945)
In those days, you were REQUIRED to be in ROTC and military training. The cadet corps didn't become non-compulsory until 1963.
Not everyone could qualify medically and not all served on active duty.
There's moving the goal posts, then there's what you're doing which is tying yourself to a set of train tracks with an oncoming train.
Notice that no Aggies here are badmouthing anyone who served in the military, while shitheads like you do everything but state that servicemembers and cadets who attended or ever will attend A&M are lesser because they did so despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

You have proven yourself to be uneducated and incapable of logical reasoning
Yep, own by an Aggie again, story of your poor horn life

I don't think Col. Aggie gets it.
As long as they were enrolled in the ROTC at A&M (which was compulsory), they were not going to be drafted.
Whether that was for a few months, or a couple years. Makes no difference.
Hence:
ROTC Contract Exempt Aggies from Army Draft
Battalion, Aug. 1940

Show me one instance of an officer being drafted. Just one.
One that was drafted as an enlistee and then commissioned later doesn't count before you try that.
By the way, Admiral (retired) McRaven is a great American and contributed a critical part of our military history. It's a shame that someone like him is associated with the massive flood of feces that populates your fanbase.

You still don't get it.
Don't enroll at A&M? Get drafted.
Enroll at A&M? Don't get drafted.
Those are you very words. They weren't eligible to be drafted.
Hence, draft "deferral."
deferral: the act of delaying or deferring something

You are implying that someone who didn't get drafted AVOIDED SERVICE and that the majority of those who commissioned from A&M and fought in wars, leading Soldiers were somehow AVOIDING SERVICE by not being drafted.
Being draft eligible does not guarantee being drafted or serving.
Accepting a commission is a 100% guarantee of service.
Who gives a frick whether or not someone was drafted, voluntarily enlisted, or commissioned if the end result is that the individual in question is in uniform?

A&M is a venerated military institution like this dork is a fearsome soldier.
You guys keep playing dress up. Everyone totally believes you.

You got your asses beat by realignment to the point where Chimp Brown and other sip "reporters" are dreaming up scenarios where A&M is FORCED back into the same conference.
The real fun is when they speculate that all of college football is going to turn upside down soon and everyone will be "forced" to align into regional conferences.
They know they fricked up in realignment, so they hold out hope that the dictator of college football will fix it for them.

Because it was the surest way of DELAYING being drafted. The presumption was that it would last as long as they were enrolled, up to four years.
But guess what, Col. Aggie? A whole bunch of people enrolled at A&M to take advantage of its DRAFT DEFERRAL, then the feds changed the rules.

Your book on the aggy corps goes into this in detail.
When the deferral was taken away, there was slight panic in College Station.

(Grand Haven Daily Tribune, Wednesday, 15 April 1942)
Revision of Deferments to Permit Induction of Older
and Married Men
Army Expansion at Rate of 250,000 a Month Next Year.
Training the Disabled.
The Army is getting ready to dip into the nation’s secondary reserve of man power. Already in sight is the day when all men with 1-A draft classifications will be in the armed forces. On that day, some time about the end of 1942, the draft boards will begin calling up men now deferred.

The Bible verse that most effectively describes the sips on this thread is Proverbs 26, Verse 11.

And once World War II started, the commissioning process was ACCELERATED; in some instances commissions only took 1 year before sending them to the front.
In many cases, they didn't finish their degrees until after they returned from the war.

You still don't get it. Once you commission, you can't be drafted anyway because YOU'RE ALREADY IN. If you're already going to serve, you might as well have some control over the manner in which you serve.
Like I said, I guess I'm avoiding the selective service because I commissioned. Clearly I'm not serving and have no intention to serve despite the fact that I've worn the uniform almost 16 years.

Why didn't they just outright enlist, then, if they were so full of piss and vinegar?
Remember, too, that the enrollment swell took place in 1940, immediately after the draft was instituted, and before the war actually started.

Why enlist when you can become an officer?
This isn't today's military in which many NCOs have Masters' degrees or even Doctorates.
There was very little importance on the NCO Corps until Vietnam.

We don't need to invite more of those anal parasites.
At least LSU fans are by and large respectful of things in which we all hold dear.
SEC fans are both dicks and pussies.
T-sips are assholes that just want to shite on everything.
