<p>So . . . . trying to keep this as simple as possible</p>
<p>Should one deduce, based on the comments made herein, that OCS officers, because they do not receive the same leadership training as USNA graduates, are simply not as qualified; at least through the LT grade.</p>
<p>Furthermore, based on the comments made herein, should it be deduced that, based on the odds, USNA produces officers who are, somehow, superior to others.</p>
<p>These conclusions should be made despite the Supt. contention that the fleet “does not care” from where an officer graduates.</p>
<p>Confusing to say the least.</p>
<p>Finally, what is the “reason” that most MOH are awarded posthumously?
Is there an implicatio here–trying to read between the lines–that a failure of competence rather than an accomplishment of heroism typically leads to the death of the person to whom the honor is bestowed? </p>
<p>Clarification would be nice; especially when such a flippant remark is made about those who are awarded this country’s highest military honor.</p>
