I'm not an Academy alumnus, but I do have experience with the IC versus non-IC world at a large state university. Here's my take for what its worth (which isn't much):
Life itself is a t-zo gap - there is inequity everywhere and on all sides looking back and forth at the very same people. The fact that ALL of these kids even made it to USAFA is an inequity of opportunity versus many others who did not have the family, support and guidance needed to get there. Each person has to look within themselves and not at others around them for their measure of success and integrity. If you continually look at the unfairness around you, life will almost assuredly be miserable.
