"The State that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting by fools." ~ Thucydides
The US military has a long tradition with the Military Academies as well as the ROTC programs when it comes to commissioning. Do you think that there is a bias among the academies and ROTC programs regarding the popular education majors? What about after the commissioning, do the Officers find themselves in roles that are supported by their education? What about the experience and expertise of enlisted and their pre-career degrees or even professional development acquired degrees?
Is there an apparent separation between the educated and the indoctrinated in the American military?

"The State that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting by fools." ~ Thucydides
The United States has a long military tradition regarding the Academies, West Point, Annapolis and Air Force Academy. There are often allegations that the Academy graduates go out of their way to protect their own.
Do you think the training that occurs at the academy vs. the education received through an ROTC program affects the quality of the Officer and the way they fit into their branch role? Is there a better branch for certain majors? Is the Academy degree really comparable to the STEM degrees received at an American University? Does an ROTC commissioned Officer with an Economics degree understand SASO better than someone from West Point?
