[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop you two.  Just stop.

West Point graduates are bright, athletic, patriots and selfless -- evidenced by their willing to die for the likes of you, both pro-military and anti-military.[/quote]

For “the likes of” me? 
Look, I was just trying to correct the poster who repeatedly tries to demean West Point. Clearly I don’t need to be reminded of what a West Point graduate is sacrificing.[/quote]

Anti-WP poster is a loon (or worse).  No doubt.  But she raises a fair point -- for the sake of diversity, WP lowers their academic standards to a near in-defensible level.  I love football, and enjoy every Black Knights win, especially against Navy!  But the near illiterate athletes WP admits, offset by the scholars with HYP scores, is hard to defend.[/quote]
I know multiple football players recruited by WP and other service academies who were also recruited by Ivies, so I guess WP isn't the only institution lowering their academic standards to "in-defensible levels."[/quote]

Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB Harvard) scored 1580.  But somebody had to read that to him as is illiterate [/quote]
