<p>This theme raises the hackles on the back of my neck every single time I read it. To what do you base this observation? You are on a USMA forum. I think all WP cadets right now are very much aware of the commitment they face upon graduation. For USNA, I can assure you it is not true. BGOs are tasked with subtely ferreting out your very supposition. I can assure you that it is not a problem. Early on in the decision stage, it might be. However, once a serious candidate has done the homework necessary to make a decision, the commitment is very evident. Those looking for a free education look elsewhere. The few who fall between the cracks usually resign. By the end of their second year, I can assure you that no USNA mids are still there solely for the free education. When listing the top 10 reasons they are there, very few would place it in the top 10.</p>
