Political correct screenings.


Friend of mine, high ranking military retiree, was on his congressman’s selection committee for appointments to the federal academies for several years. He finally gave up after it became obvious that the appointments all went to the children of political supporters regardless of the committee’s recommendations. One more way the filthy political class uses our tax dollars to buy support and pay back donations. Around here conventional wisdom is that he federal academies are just repositories for the scions of the political class who wouldn’t be able to hack it at real military colleges like VMI or The Citadel.
