[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Enlisted men have been known to turn on officers they don't respect or more commonly officers with "I'm better than you" attitudes. Fragging is an extreme example. The Army knows this an recruits for leaders. That magic dust isn't revealed in test scores. It is revealed when something hard needs to get done and soldiers follow the man they TRUST.

You keyboard warriors can read all the website statistics you want. You will never understand [/quote]
Look, the Navy has a robust athletic program. There will be plenty of Academy kids in the military who had substandard stats and that are diverse. The rest should be based strictly on stats (including the CFA) without DEI. There is also a ton of diversity that comes through ROTC.[/quote]

You will never understand. Cutting the pie has F all to do with stats. When a squad enters a building they need to all have confidence that the other guys are 100% going to do their bit. That can't be measured by HS stats.

You probably never even played football.  Ever played tackle and taken hits just to give your QB an extra 0.5 seconds?

Service academies are not like other schools. Their recruiting standards are different and always will be.[/quote]
