War is likely to dominate the future considering the sad state of moderate Islam. We’ve stopped teaching our kids history, civics, responsibility, noble causes, honesty and integrity. Are we really surprised that todays kids are selfish, self centered and aren’t willing to tackle the worlds problems when they could use their education for personal gain?

You do realize that these men and women have completed their obligated service and left the military honorably? Do you honestly believe that an academy education should incur a 20 or 30-year military obligation? If so, expect to get no takers to go to the academies.

These men and women aren’t selfish. They did their time and have left the military to pursue other careers as most junior officers do. They should not be impugned for that.
