I will start by saying, I do not have a dog in this fight other than being a tax payer, a veteran, and an avid reader of this forum.
My son is an AROTC Cadet attending an SMC.
On the forum I read a lot of posts about how standards should not be lowered for reason.
While primarily in the context for physical standards for females moving into fields now open to them.
It seems to me that test scores are similar.
There are several ways to commission. If an athlete wants to commission but has a 19 ACT perhaps they need to follow a path other than WP.
And if Army's team is not as good, well then.....
A possible exception could be for prior enlisted who have proven themselves, similar to a campus based ROTC scholarship.
If after commissioning "no one cares where you went to school" than why not maintain a higher standard for WP, the "elite'"commissioning source?
Just sayin'
