This is a problem everywhere that has similar military schools. I was recently shocked to see Texas A&M’s Cadet Corps wearing stylized golf shirts as one of their “uniforms.” How far they’ve fallen.
From what I hear Texas A&M these days is closer to the traditional service academies than the actual military academies. The sad thing is there still are a lot of talented and patriotic boys who would love to go to an academy. The military doesn’t want them, though, because they are the wrong color or sex.
