<p>My opinion is to leave the standards alone and continue to compete at the highest level. At West Point, athletics takes on a nature totally apart from that at civilian schools—sure, everyone wants a winning record, but teaching our cadets to compete as a team at the highest level, regardless of their own individual talents is just a part of the West Point experience. Dumbing down entrance standards or service requirements isn’t the answer, but neither is dumbing down the level at which the future leaders of our Army compete.</p>
<p>Hey, maybe the answer is to let the women play football!!!
Sorry, couldn’t resist!! :)</p>
