ABSTRACT

The words ‘Bring me men’ are incised in stone above the entrance ramp of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill’s Air Force Academy. The inscription engendered a controversy when women were first admitted to this all-male academic institution;

should the slogan remain or be removed? The decision of the female cadets to retain the motto demonstrates their recognition of the Academy as a site dedicated to the production of masculine subjects, irrespective of the soldier’s biological sex.
