the U.S. Naval Academy is not an elite college; it is first and foremost a branch of the U.S. military

The fact that the name refers to the United States Navy might have given someone with an IQ over room temperature a clue that this was the case. I guess Barnard students don't make that cut.

She begged me to call a naval lieutenant Monday morning to start the out-processing forms for my brother. After leaving countless messages for the lieutenant, he finally called me back, at which point he informed me that my brother would have to go through 13 exit-interviews to be dismissed, including an interview with the head of the Navy. When I asked him whether this might intimidate him out of leaving, the lieutenant reminded me that my brother had signed an oath legally binding him to the Navy. When I reminded the lieutenant that he had signed that oath after he had been yelled at all day and that his hair had just been shaven off during his first day there, he comforted me that John was not at all forced to sign the oath.

Had she really read the catalog as she claims she would know midshipmen can withdraw without incurring a service obligation before they start their junior year. I guess reading comprehension isn't a strong suit at Barnard, either.

Dollars to donuts her brother likes Annapolis, doesn't want to leave and doesn't share sis's leftist aversion to the military.

Dimes to donuts he went into the military to get away from the females in his family.

A little like Casey Sheehan.
