<p>Ann. I think that USNAMom messed up the quote that you referred to in the last post. The correct quote is actually, “What do all West Point Cadets and Navy Midshipmen have in common? They all wanted to get into West Point.”</p>
<p>I also question why anyone would point to a group of non graduates, including Richard Nixon, to support a proposition that one academy is better than another. The only President on the list that actually attended the Naval Academy is Jimmy Carter, and while Jimmy Carter is without question a wonderful individual, most historians would not put him at the top of our most effective presidents. I find it much more pursuasive to look at the military leaders and presidents set out in JustAMomOf4’s post that graduated from West Point.</p>
<p>Allen 331. All joking aside, West Point and the Naval Academy are premiere military and academic institutions that produce well trained and dedicated officers that serve our country with honor. They are indeed brothers in arms that put themselves in harms way for people like you and me. You will not go wrong selecting either institution. Best of Luck.</p>
