When the balloon goes up, our life span will be 15 minutes. We will either be inundated with hundreds of Soviet fighters and bombers, or a nuke will wipe out everything within 10 miles of ground zero. Hit the ground with your feet facing the blast, and hope for the best.
I have two sons and at least a dozen nephews who are at least 18 YO. If asked for advice, I would tell them to stay away from the military. It's corrupt, bloated, broken. I served under Carter, that was bad enough...Biden is 10 times worse.
OTOH, I honor those who serve, despite knowing the problems they'll have to deal with.
As a sidenote, I don't expect to see any punitive action taken against those West Pointers that snorted cocaine on Spring Break. It will all be swept under the rug.

As one of my Drill Sergeants said, right after he spit out some sunflower seed shells…..You gonna die. The needles just make it not hurt.
Your post is spot on.
No cadet shall, lie, cheat, or steal, not tolerate those that do. Snorting coke isn’t in that line so that’s left up to interpretation.
