Earlier this week, I received a note from a reader who recently made a generous contribution in support of my efforts to work with Town Hall to expose the hypocrisy, treachery, and filth that pervades higher education. Recently, I considered cutting back on the time I now put into this effort. That was before I read the following:

Dear Dr. Adams:

Perhaps you have received communications with similar language but, please allow me to explain the meaning of (the subject line of my email) “Die In Place”.

Years ago while in training as a Marine Officer, I first heard the expression “Die In Place”.  The phrase was used as a teaching point to understand the concept of “Mission Type Orders”.

This concept directs that simple and concise orders be provided to subordinates without dictating the minutia of how to accomplish the assigned mission.  A Marine given “Mission Type Orders” must; 1) assess the situation, 2) identify his tasks, and 3) develop an operational concept designed to accomplish his mission.

Simply put, a Marine given "Die in Place" orders understands the gravity of the situation as follows:

- He occupies the key terrain of his unit positions.
- There may be NO withdrawal or retreat.
- There are NO alternate or supplementary positions.
- There will be NO attachments or reinforcements.
- The position MUST be held.
- Failure to do so will result in the literal destruction of all friendly forces and the ability to successfully conclude the conflict.

In other words, death is preferable to the resulting loss of Marine Corps honor, culture, and prestige if he fails.

I believe you hold this key terrain in the realm of academia.  If we fail to correct our educational philosophy and put an end to the continuous and grievous assault on the minds of our nation's youth, we will lose all.  As a nation we will likely survive any challenge (military, political, economic), but failure to change the current socialist/anti-American attitude in our academic institutions will ultimately result in our undoing as a nation as we slowly drift away from belief in our individual liberties and freedom. Education is the foundation for the continued success of our nation. We cannot allow it to crumble. Continued...
