I'm wondering if, or how much, the "current college student" thing has to do with the sergeant's re-indoctrination. I remember a particular state (CA) mandated social sciences textbook that grew wings & flew across the room a few years ago crashing into the far wall while a voice, seemingly from above, bellowed "Bullshit". Twas the strangest thing.
As a former Marine Sgt. as well, this article disgusts me. After I was medically retired after wounds received in Afghanistan, I went to these so-called institutes of higher education as well. When I got there, I found I was facing a lot of very Leftist thinking, to include Law professors that were seemingly oblivious to how firearms worked. What I mean by that is that I had a class while the whole "hands up, don't shoot" myth was at its peak. This professor, again a professor of law, couldn't fathom that a firearm could be taken from someone and use by an assailant -- a firearm is not a guarantee.
Now as for this Hess fellow, I guess he doesn't see the irony of his position; he was part of an organization that was billed as fighting to defend freedom, but he wants to use such experiences as calls for authoritarian action.
