they should have said NO to the others too.

pls address the potential cadet that had their life shortchanged by this type of selfishness...

ever heard of Roger Staubach?

During his junior year at the Naval Academy, Staubach’s color-blindness was detected and he was commissioned directly into the Supply Corps, which did not necessitate being able to tell the difference between red (port) and green (starboard) lights or to discern the color differences in electrical circuitry.[14]
Staubach tosses a pass against Maryland.

After graduating from the Naval Academy in June 1965,[15] Staubach could have requested an assignment in the United States, but he chose to volunteer for a one-year tour of duty in South Vietnam. He served as a Supply Corps officer for the Navy at the Chu Lai Base Area until 1967. Staubach supervised 41 enlisted men.[16]

thus endith the lesson

Doesn’t matter if no one was short changed. It’s a simple matter of look at this point. They’ve granted this delay of service to multiple white players in recent years, and now they’ve denied a black guy. That just plain looks bad.

Staubuch was 56 years ago. Different world.

The only lesson we’ve got here is that you’re pointlessly rude.
