> Huh?
Which part of that didn’t you understand?
FWIW I understood it and agreed with it.
By the way, the appointments to the service academies are sought after, and then granted with the intercession of a congressman. You do not have to accept - you are usually the one asking for admission.
(And it’s an honor to be chosen!)
Well, pardon me, but I was trying to figure out the purpose of the story, thus “Huh?”
If one just reads the excerpt, it does not go into details about Johnson’s complaining about the length of his service.
Now, based upon reading the story further and others comments I think I understand better.
Okie Dokie?
