[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're blue collar and country ...they're great. If you come from a white collar, rich family ... they are horrible. To each his own.[/quote] What? Actually, blue bloods are probably over-represented at service academies. You re assuming all rich folks are the same. No, the striver law firm partner won't want his kids at West Point but the folks who arrived in the 1700s and have both wealth and a legacy of service? Absolutely. [/quote] NO, I worked on Capitol Hill and most of the kids were really just barely middle class or poor. Sure, you might get one or 2 kids from wealthy families in the deep south whose fathers make them go, but those are the exceptions and not the rules. Military academy rules are worse than prisons ... most rich kids would not put up with that. Poor and middle class trivers would because they have nothing better to do.[/quote]
