[agapitoflores001]

Nice speech.. Superb!

[ilpremier]

Steve Job's commencement speech is waaaaaaaaay better. What is this? A college students or a military commencement?

[brettygood]

Does this speech come off as kind of an old man deriding "those damn kids & their technology" to anyone else?

speach @ 8:00

[AndreCorona]

They could have edited the introduction. It's not like anyone watching this video wants to hear the intro. they want to hear Tom Brokaw.

[ekidenlover]

8 mins. of opening speech was wayTOOOOOOOO long!!!

[Tigranchius]

I agree with gissina :) Steve Jobs's speech is the best !!

MySpace and Spacebook:P

[celestethoms]

wow that intro was almost 10 min.

[miketh33]

Why does Stanford have so many college DROPOUTS for their commencement speeches?

[ObliviousXIII]

@miketh33 because its funnier that way. in all seriousness though the irony is quite funny.

[skipplet]

This was a good speech. I think some of the posters below are overly sensitive to anyone portraying the military in a positive light, and that's a shame.

[skipplet]

Introduction was waaaaay too long.

[squishypear]

I think this is a good commencement speech, not the usual, but still, it addresses the issues that this generation will need to deal with in the years to come.

Profound Speech

[TheyFeedingULies]

Brokaw is the lapdog for the shadow gov't, who's noteriety and image is used to spread lies and propaganda passed off as news? C'mon Tom, tell the truth, show some sense of integrity and ethics and tell the truth, not the "news."

[drl453]

this is one of the worst speeches stanford has had

[freegastanker1]

why you say that?

[mjosr99]

Ok, that blew. All he talked about was the stuff that other people did. If those people are his heroes, does this not beg the question why did he not choose that life?

TOM - tell me the lessons of your life, not someone elses. Otherwise, you just come off as a sanctimonious hypocrite.

[gissina]

Sounds like a speech for military recruitment.

[kheranext]

Quite Impactful!

[lawfreak333]

Excellent speech.

[talon115]

Tom Brokaw is the poster child for hypocrisy...he made a special back in the 90's about the tragedy of "white flight" in chicago and then he himself buys a ranch in montana! Why not harlem Tom?

[skipplet]

@talon115 Maybe because he's from South Dakota and prefers life on a ranch to life in a city?...

[mxnrebel72]

Outstanding speech!
