| Before I continue, I am not yet a midshipman nor do I claim to be.
I don't just have a problem with the Campbell situation, but I think the situation with every athlete who goes on this alternative service route is deplorable. Perhaps the role of intercollegiate sports in the service academies needs to be rethought with the changing times, but I think cadets who do take this route are a waste of space and taxpayer's money. Surely there is another person out of the 10,000+ who applied that would serve a little more than 2 years recruiting and 2 years in the reserves. |
