Why is our President forced to suck up to the military?

No the military never has anyone with talent... Roger Starbuck??? I guess he had no talent.

Neither did Roger Staubach...

Nations best? They are ranked like 100 and 115 in the nation. LSU would beat either team by 70. I don't mind mixin in a little patriotism but thats just ridiculous. Its like when the North Korean media annouced that Kim Jung Il got 18 hole in ones and scored an 18 while golfing...Don't lie to me

Nobody with any talent goes to the academy's and they haven't been ranked in the top 10 since the late 1800's

Some more statements made without knowing what you are talking about. To even get into one of the Military Academies, one has to go through a very lengthy process. When all done and said, those that do get in are some of the best in the country.

Thanks LJ.

I knew that's what you meant... (And since I used to live in Dallas when he was HUGE, I had an unfair advantage...) lol

Advantage or not, it's nice you corrected a gross misspelling (bastardization) of the name. Thanks

And our own Air Force Academy has spoiled seasons for many Top 20 teams. So while they may not dominate college football, the military academies are competitive.

Again talking about what you nothing about, Every person that has been drafted into the NFL from the academies have made the teams but only after they served their required time either on Active duty and then was released or in the Reserves.

Your biggest problem is you can't stand to be proven wrong, which happens on a regular basis. The only thing you were right about is the number of folks that get drafted, there are not that many.
