<p>Good point. We will all ignore your further comments.</p>

<p>Certainly no need to apologize. You signed up to do a job. You are doing that job. Campbell signed up for a job. The Army initially allowed him to renege on his commitment. I simply fail to see how the fact that you are doing your job has anything to do with the Army allowing him to get out of his. To imply that those who made the ultimate sacrifice did so to allow such as this, to me, is unconscionable. To state that, because you are doing your job, you deserve to see it, I was hoping was rationalization. If not, is it arrogance? I simply cannot fathom the correlation that doing one’s duty somehow begets not requiring others to do so.</p>
<p>The bottom line is that we all want our school to look good in the nation’s eyes. Former cadets and midshipmen making it in the professional ranks certainly add to that prestige. To attempt to tie it to ‘duty’ and ‘honor’ is somehow misleading though.</p>

Now that you mention it, have you not seen any Navy EOD teams? They are the most decorated units in the entire war. They, along with Navy SEALS, have certainly been among those who have borne the brunt of the war. Last month, the Navy selected their list of potential NASA astronauts. Navy EOD and SEALS who have contributed to the program in the past were declared ineligible by the CNO due to the fact that the Navy requires every single one of them to do the job for which they were trained</p>
