Some people go to college for four years and talk about what their favorite professor told them about diplomacy in the middle east.

Academy folks talk about that time when the SECDEF, two joint chiefs, the CIA director, the chief of NASA, and Tony Blair came over for lunch.

....no, seriously. If you can get into an academy do it.
