[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be careful with open ended phrases like "generally accepted." It is generally accepted that the Earth is a sphere but there are still a few million people who insist that it is flat. [b]Here in the United States of America the service academies are hallowed halls[/b]. You may not think so but you are in the minority and, in a sense, a Flat Earther. Cue up all the statistics you like. The measure here for this particular thread is "prestige" and the service academies do enjoy widespread respect and admiration. A campaign of anonymous snark on DCUM will not move the needle there[/quote] I wonder if this is more community-specific than you think. My husband comes from a military family and they hold that kind of regard. I did not, and they were never even a blip on the screen of my college-educated, professional family. Just not in the sphere of where you think about college, what colleges you value etc. [/quote]
