I don't think the above poster was being critical of any family.
Surely it's obvious why anyone might think the (admirable) decision to attend a military academy and make a real commitment to put your life at risk serving your country for years afterwards would call for more maturity than whether to early commit to Michigan or UNC, for example (one might rationally choose the latter based on the boy-girl ratio and weather).
I think one could make an argument that the NCAA should restrict ER just for the sake of the academies.
