Maybe because homeschoolers work harder at their studies so it seems that way to him? Then again, training has probably gotten softer since 2009.
Or maybe better? Rot starts at the top. That was a slice of USNA life a dozen years ago that I got from a student. His remarks were also informed by several visits to the merchant academy to visit my daughter. It was his opinion that the merchant school was more all- business, and a greater physical and intellectual challenge than he faced at USNA. Things change....I hope: maybe the next prez will get the PC out of the place....and make it great again...if it ever was. The potential the service academies have is awsome and most necessary.
