Retired Lieutenant General Frank Wiercinski wants to be President of the University of Hawaii, but somehow, the students get a say in the process of the hiring. He appeared in front of the student body the other day, reports the Honolulu Star-Advertiser<\/a> and it wasn’t pretty;<\/p>\n

A few dozen people in the audience held signs and posters that read, “Demilitarize Our Education,” “Universities Shall Serve the Community Not Promote Militarization” and “Hawaiian Values?”<\/p>\n

Some booed and hissed as he talked about his leadership style, areas where he thinks UH can improve, and why he’s interested in the job before a standing-room-only auditorium on the UH-Manoa campus.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Stank-ass hippies, the whole lot of them. The general presented his case to them, and of course, his qualifications for the job went right over their pointy heads;<\/p>\n

“I make no excuse that I served in the United States military. \u2026 I’ve stood and protected villages, I’ve built schools, I’ve gathered governors together \u2026 and I’ve buried 163 of my friends,” he said. “But what I’ve learned in the last eight years \u2026 my daily job was building consensus with leaders, it was working the budget, a declining budget \u2014 oh, by the way, catapulted by sequestration and trying to make everything fit.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“We didn’t want to target him necessarily as an individual, but we wanted to send a really strong message to the Board of Regents and to the university as a whole about what our vision for UH is and how this is at odds with their commitment to make this university a Hawaiian place of learning,” she said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“I think he made it very clear he intends to cater to the Asia-Pacific military buildup at the forefront of the Obama administration’s military strategy. We’re seeing it nationally, as the military infiltrates universities to be its research institutions. We’re trying to send a message, not just to him, that we will not stand for that.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, who cares what a bunch of snot-nosed little brats think? They just pay their tuition and get their degrees in Hemp Weaving or whatever the hell the nimrods take in school these days. Or not. If they don’t like the president, they can go back to coke snorting, because that’s what they’re going to do after college anyway.<\/p>\n

The purpose of college is learning, not dictating to your betters about how you want your life to be. If you want to do that go back home and order your parents around. I’m sure they miss that.<\/p>\n

Hiring a college president is what adults do, not a bunch of wet-behind-the-ears ne’er-do-wells. And, of course, the media tells us that we veterans are the reason that there is a cultural divide between the military and the rest of the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
