Well I hope they make it into a historical site.

I was thinking the other day is why do we have four seperate service academies. Most of our officers isn't coming from them and the costs to create an officer at West Point or the Naval Academy is much greater than ROTC or OTC.

Using the justification of all these Base Closings we should close the Service Academies.

I would very much be in favor of closing the AF Academy and merging the Dept. of the AF back into the Dept. of the Army...
It worked perfectly to have a USAAF back in WWII; the AF cadets would be educated at West Point and make the decision of which service branch Army or Air Force to go into following graduation--the same as Marines do that go to Annapolis.
