On Monday, the Department of War is creating an \u201cAmerica\u2019s Corps of Cadets,\u201d and the name sounds more harmless than the thing itself. Pete Hegseth has told the Pentagon leadership in a memo that from now on he wants to work with selected colleges to train officers, more of them, above all \u201cmore patriotic\u201d ones. Armies take shape in lecture halls long before they are needed on a battlefield. That is exactly where Hegseth is stepping in now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five schools are on his list. First up is Louisiana State University, founded in 1853 as a military school, back then the Louisiana State Seminary of Learning & Military Academy, so the direction was built in from the start. Then come 2 names anyone in the right-wing education world knows by heart, evangelical Liberty University and conservative Hillsdale College. Add Tuskegee University and Mississippi State University. Each of these schools will be elevated to \u201cDistinguished Military College\u201d status and, in the wording of the plan, is expected to maintain \u201cexceptionally high standards of cadet discipline, tactical training and military organization.\u201d As an \u201cHonor School,\u201d its graduates would get priority for officer commissions. Five addresses personally chosen by the secretary, each with a shortcut into the leadership of the armed forces. The rest of the country gets to watch.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hegseth supplied the reason himself in his \u201cState of the Force\u201d speech. From elite universities to most liberal arts colleges, the country\u2019s schools had become \u201canti-American, DEI-worshipping factories of wokeness.\u201d Courage and grit had been traded for political correctness, God and country for Che Guevara and critical theory. 2 trigger phrases, not much more sits inside that diagnosis, and that is exactly the point. Once you have declared half the education system the enemy, all that remains is to harvest the next generation somewhere else. From now on, they will be drawn from places where the right worldview is already part of the curriculum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It looks like administration, a few cooperation agreements. Behind it sits a grab for what comes next. What is taught today at 5 addresses will be sitting in command posts 20 years from now. You do not turn an army overnight. You can turn its intake, slowly, one graduating class after another. That is why this Monday weighs more heavily than the dry line used to announce it. Loyalty cannot be ordered. It can be grown, if you pick the seed early enough, and that is exactly what he is doing here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
