Can anyone lend insight as to why it has now been determined that the body of officers must relect the same ethnicity of enlisted, even when requires separate-and-unequal tracks for admission and completion?
Vietnam.

Question -
Hypothesis - USNA is admitting a bunch of dumb Black kids who can't do simple addition or write a complete sentence. Hence, keeping out very bright white students who deserve to attend because of their genius.

How then does USNA have such a remarkably high graduation rate? The majority of appointments are made within the confines of a Congressional Nomination - which admissions has no control over.
Yet the Academy still graduates over 80% of midshipmen. If all these minorities are so "unqualified" then how do they manage to graduate?

Perhaps part deux will the the "two track curriculum".
