[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.

Here in the United States of America the service academies are hallowed halls. 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.

I think you live in your own special version of the United States of America; regardless, while appointments to the service academies are respected, the schools are not considered prestigious.

I'm sorry if that doesn't sit well with you, or if you wish others had the same admiration for the military that you clearly do, but the service academies aren't considered "prestigious" - whether it's West Point or the Naval Academy, much less the Air Force Academy or the Coast Guard Academy.

Hugs.
