[quote=Anonymous]College prof here (not at a service academy). Students who successfully qualify for, apply to, are accepted to, study and train at, and graduate from the service academies--all of them!--are *extremely* impressive in their commitment, drive, organization, and leadership, to say nothing of their intellectual and people skills and their generosity in agreeing to serve their country. They have to be extremely mature even to organize towards and train for a *nomination*--and that while they are still in high school. Comparing these students and their experiences to students at other schools is simply apples and oranges. Students at other colleges and universities can be top-notch fantastic in their own right, but in completely different ways. Let's concentrate on appreciating and honoring the differences, and on cultivating many forms of excellence in the next generation, both inside and outside the service academies.[/quote]
