America's Top Universities not Ivy League but Military

Holy smokes! How in-the-Obama did the “elites” allow this to happen?
By William R. Mann Tuesday,

God is great!
It must have something to do with the kind of “C” & “D” students that are admitted to, and graduate from the Harvard, Yale, Brown, Princeton, and Columbia and then go on to the White House or the Senate to bilk the public as ambulance-chasing politicians.


Ah, life is good at the top of the mountain!
I wonder if GEN David Petraeus has a job lined up for 2012 yet?
BEAT NAVY! HOOAH!
