Outstanding articles Roger and thanks for highlighting the true mission of the Service Academies. I share your deep concerns but also your optimism. Based on my own experience as a faculty member at USAFA, cadets take great pride in their oath of office and the deep tradition of ethical leadership embedded in US military culture. We are in dangerous times, but voices like yours are powerful in reminding all military officers, Lt to 4-star, about the true nature of the military profession in our constitutional republic. Thanks for the articles Roger and I hope you keep using your articulate writing, and the example of your own tremendous and honorable military career to keep inspiring current and future military leaders and those who educate them.
