Well, it costs four times as much for an academy to produce an officer as it does ROTC, and only 20 percent of our officers come from a service academy.
A professor at Annapolis notes all this in arguing, not to close the USNA, et al, but to reform them and toughen them up.
Frankly, I wonder if the answer isn't just having the academies serve as 1-year finishing schools, at most, for ROTC grads, combined with some war-college ty pe advanceed training.
