  Long Gray Lines: The Southern Military School Tradition, 1839-1915, by Rod Andrew Jr.. Introduction.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Meanwhile, antebellum southern military schools such as the Citadel and VMI reopened after the war and continued their traditions of military education; southern military preparatory schools became fashionable in the 1880s and 1890s; and fl colleges founded under the Morrill Act of 1890 also adopted military education.
Southern military schools of the nineteenth century could not survive simply by promoting ideals of hierarchy, rigid discipline, and blind obedience without important concessions to the larger society's concern with individual autonomy and social equality (among white males).
Southern military schools, then, were not isolated islands of militarism lost in a stream of democratic and republican ideals.

in Marietta and opened to students in July 1851, the Georgia Military Institute (GMI) was the principal source of education for new engineers and teachers in the state during the decade prior to the Civil War (1861-65).
Like most southern military schools of the late antebellum period, GMI based its curriculum on the course of study at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York.
Discipline at the institution was strict, similar to that at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia, and the Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina.

 THE MILITARY JUSTICE INSTITUTE
Military justice soothes the military ego and quiets the fear that lingers in the military breast against outright soldier mutiny -- and it also, of course, provides a means of punishing soldiers who break the law.
If a military defense counsel were brash enough to expose a superior's illegal efforts in the judicial area, the worst that could happen to the superior would be the loss of the particular case involved, or a series of cases if the illegality affected more than one case.
Military appellate procedure should include an appeal for good cause shown to the various United States Courts of Appeals (the circuit would depend upon the geographical location of the offense involved); and thence, again for good cause shown, to the Supreme Court of the United States for final judgment.

 National Issue: Freedoms protect private education
Virginia Military Institute and the Citadel, once all-male schools, have become co-ed after legal action and the influence of state funding.
All-male military institutes were a tradition in the South for years and some feel the values on which such schools were established have been diluted by the admittance of women.
The private nature of the school should further establish the institution’s right to be founded upon the values the investors believe are necessary for educating their sons.

 The UNC Press, Long Gray Lines by Rod Andrew Jr.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Military training was a prominent feature of higher education across the nineteenth-century South.
Virginia Military Institute and the Citadel, as well as land-grant schools such as Texas A&M, Auburn, and Clemson, organized themselves on a military basis, requiring their male students to wear uniforms, join a corps of cadets, and subject themselves to constant military discipline.
Challenging assumptions about a distinctive "southern military tradition," Rod Andrew demonstrates that southern military schools were less concerned with preparing young men for actual combat than with instilling in their students broader values of honor, patriotism, civic duty, and virtue.

I think it is the responsibility of senior military people to tell the policy level what it is they need in terms of military means to do the job and not to try and pre-guess what will fly politically or not.

Billboards across North Carolina declare the state’s new slogan: “the most military-friendly state in America.” But a new report from the Institute for Southern Studies/Southern Exposure (pdf) finds North Carolina is suffering “devastating costs” from war, and calls on state officials to rethink their push to make the state more dependent on military dollars.
