"The mission of the United States Naval Academy is to develop midshipmen morally, mentally and physically and to imbue them with the highest ideals of duty, honor, and loyalty in order to provide graduates who are dedicated to a career of naval service and have potential for future development in mind and character to assume the highest responsibilities of command, citizenship and government. The overall curriculum supports the moral and mental preparation of midshipmen and provides them with the skills and knowledge they will meet to be successful as junior officers in the United States Navy and Marine Corps."So if I follow your logic, a hypothetical candidate that saw his friend getting bullied and pushed into a fight with another kid. this candidate steps into try and break up that fight when teachers come up they just see three students in a scrum. Candidate pleads his case and has witnesses, but because the school has a ZERO tolerance policy with fighting, the candidate gets in school suspension.
You think that this candidate should not be eligible to go to USNA because he did not lead a "monastic life" at high school? Why would we want to exclude this candidate just because he has fighting and in school suspension on his record?
Before you say "No school would ever give a teenager in school suspension for trying to help another student" it most absolutely has happened at a public school near me, and I'm sure it has happened at others.
