<p>While only of marginal import and tangential to the primary issue, I will once again proclaim the claim I’ve long claimed with 100% certainty. </p>
<p>There are WAY more Mids who could make it into and out of Harvard than there are Crimson cronies who would or could make it into and out of USNA. These “Yards” are yards …no miles … apart.</p>
<p>But the ultimate issues in this discussion seem to be two to me:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>The peer group that will morph into one’s lifetime cronies, friends forever after. A world of difference.</p></li>
<li><p>Closely related, but not totally congruent, the values one will nurture. A universe, maybe several, of difference.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Like him or otherwise, Trump asks a confounding question of how an allegedly lousy student gets into Harvard? Certainly not on the basis of basketball … :rolleyes:</p>
