But Ginsue, these are values, morals, things to guide a young man in life. They serve as a moral compass, as guidance for a young person dealing with some of the toughest changes of their life. They reinforce the good in people. They help to illustrate the difference between just doing things right, and doing the right thing.

Obviously, they are a threat to the elitist left. Anything that can be so thorough about encouraging selflessness, service to others, strength, moral fiber, conviction, and faith could encourage self sufficiency and for people to stand up for themselves (and others) and their beliefs.

I remember standing there and reciting them, and they are as relevant now as ever. Lots of young men these days could really use some of what we got out of that experience, I think.
