NC Academy Head Suspected of Being Faker

"Whoever attentively considers the different departments of power must perceive, that, in a government in which they are separated from each other, the judiciary, from the nature of its functions, will always be the least dangerous to the political rights of the Constitution; because it will be least in a capacity to annoy or injure them."
--Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 78, 1788
(Don't know about that, Alex.)

String him up.

 In this May 2010 photo, William Northrop, right, and Mike Mebane, Chairman of the Oak Ridge Military Academy Board of Trustees, attend a graduation ceremony at the academy.

OAK RIDGE, N.C. --" Well before he became commandant of North Carolina's only military boarding academy, William Northrop regaled people with stories of serving in the jungles of Vietnam -- how he was wounded in battle, how some comrades committed suicide, how he used amphetamines on patrol.

But his war stories may be pure fiction.

There is no record Northrop ever served in the military, let alone Vietnam."

    Daaaaaammnnn... That is amazing. How do you hire someone to run a military academy without running a few background checks?

    He is listed in STOLEN VALOR!! All I can say is I'm glad he's gone.

    Really. I had written that military school before because my fifth daughter Dixie had briefly entertained following in my footsteps, but mine had gone out of business after surviving since 1812. At any rate, I asked if they discriminated against Confederate items and the PC answer I received ended the thought.
