I dont see how one could possibly compare the plight of our wounded servicemen and women who are trying to work within the system to that of "capable, intelligent, cream of the crop" young, healthy adults who were not afforded the opportunity to work within the chain of command.
You comments are insulting to the Brigade of 4400 midshipmen - do you really think they are so powerless?
Sorry, Mom's and Dad's - you made them powerless when you interferred in Academy business.
This is not about agreeing with the Supe and the Dant here - this is all about allowing the Brigade the opportunity to work within the Chain of Command.
Now - consider this - if YOU were the Supe and the Dant and you read these articles and went to this forum and saw all the whining and carrying on - what would your reaction be? Would a light bulb go off in your head and would you immediately start to reverse all the changes recently made at the academy? I think now. Wouldn't suprise me a bit if all this "interferring" caused a bit of a backlash.

Sometimes it takes a bit of public airing to get the attention of the right people who can actually resolve the problem.

This comment is naive and ridiculous. Who can resolve the problem? The Supe? The Dant? Do you really think they care for one minute that the media and parents think it is not "fair" the midshipmen have mandatory meals or study hours? Uh - Nope.
Problems can only be resolved within the Brigade leadership.
