Muddled priorities

OK, so you want to become an officer in the Army.  You make it into West Point, you graduate ... and then you go to play pro football for the Detroit Lions?

Uh, no.  This is wrong, IMHO.  You volunteered, you got your way paid through West Point, you committed to serve; now it's time to serve.  You want to play pro football, you can do that after you get out.

That's what my father did actually. 2 years at USAFA, then spent one more year earning a BS in industrial physics. This was around 1970 though.
