<p>What I find most disturbing in this thread, and in the rare occasions when it occurs elsewhere, is the slander aimed at an academy, or any school, by an alumnus – especially one who presents himself as a graduated commisioned officer. I do mean slander, not constructive criticism.</p>
<p>How does such bitterness arise? What is hoped to be accomplished by such venimous hatred?</p>
<p>There may be a place for such venting, but I doubt these fora are it.</p>
<p>When one lacks pride in where you’ve been and from where you’ve come it must be hard to look in the mirror.</p>
<p>Acta Non Verba.</p>
