All he has to do is say he is a Trump supporter, he’ll be discharged by nightfall.

In the past I think the pentagon was pretty liberal about letting people out of their service commitments so they can play pro sports. NBA player David Robinson, for example, was deemed too tall to serve (shocking they missed this all through his academy time) so they commissioned him into the Navy reserves and put him on inactive duty. I guess they felt it was rare that guys were good enough to go pro and they wanted to not get a rep of blocking great athletes from coming to the academies for fear of never being able to go pro?
Anyway over the past several years I've seen a few stories like this indicating that the Pentagon is ending that.

This is a flip-flop-flip of a Trump administration policy. In 2017, the Trump DoD required pro sports prospects to accept their commissions, but reversed itself in 2019. Now the Biden-Harris-Obama-Soros administration has reversed the Trump policy. It’s just about doing the opposite of everything Trump did.

He's been doing radio interviews in an apparent effort to generate public support to get the decision reversed. I heard him, and he seems like a nice kid, but that's a bad move. Ensigns shouldn't be trying to overturn decisions made by flag officers and the acting SecNav by appealing to public opinion.
He had the option to leave school after 2 years if he really thought the NFL was going to be his thing.

It would seem that the navy would still be there after the guy’s played in the NFL a few years. The average is what, three?
Bad PR on the navy’s part, just to oppose Trump. It’ not like there’s a war on or anything... right now...
