Does that include having Jewish officers? Or blacks? The Air Corps/Army Air Forces used to oppose blacks and the Navy never wanted any Jewish officers. As long as they are qualified and can do the job, I can't forbid them from being at the Academy.

Of course, considering how fuzzy neo-Pagan thinking is, most of them would fail as doolies.

What I wrote was quite clear. But since you want to inject a red-herring, I very much doubt that standards need to be lowered to train Jewish officers. On average, however, standards are lowered to admit blacks, whether it is the Academy, Harvard, or the Univeristy of Michigan. Please note the “on average”.

The issue is whether they are admitting the best qualified applicants available. “Diversity” quotas, which they have, but won’t admit, are an admission that they are not. Better people are being excluded from the Academy so that the Administration’s agenda of “race, class, gender, etc., equity” is advanced.

Anyone who thinks she is a witch or thinks he is a warlock is mentally ill and has no business at any of the Academies. None of that is remotely equivalent to being Jewish or black. If you think simply calling something a “religion” qualifies it for protection, perhaps the Academy could recognize Rastarianism so that Affirmative Action admits could worship a statue of Haile Selassie and smoke ganja. Perhaps a fertility cult could be next.
