<p>USNA69- I’d hardly call the cadets on this forum cynical, and if those that were came on, this place would be rather different. You’re looking at some of the least cynical (or not at all I should say) people at USAFA posting here. We’ve learned from very recent experience how different people play out here. Dreams may help, but for so many, they weren’t enough here. It takes dreams, people, support, and hard work to get through this place. You should know that from your experience at USNA. Don’t call us cynical naysayers.</p>
