Nobody held them up as paragons of virtue. However, in a day and age when most of the country (especially the youth) are entitled and narcissistic and when such a small percentage of the population chooses to serve, I think you would be better off selecting other targets than kids who choose to attend our nation's service academies.
You do come off as sort of a sourpuss and perhaps even a tad envious. You sound like a jilted lover.
As for educating the public, we appreciate your attempt at that particular service but again, it really isn't necessary.
