Every institution needs a gadfly. It’s been years now that I have been annoyed with Dr. Fleming and his various articles, but they can and do make people stop and think: Do we do this? Should we do this? Is this perception reality? Can we do better? How can we continually improve our processes? Are we truly bad in this area? Are we on the right course, true to our vision and mission? And so on. It would be easy for USNA to get caught up in its own hype and be guilty of institutional hubris, and it being run by humans, no doubt there are feet of clay in abundance.
I do think I would not have liked being in a classroom as his student if the language was that salty. It’s one thing to listen to bosn’s mates swearing and sweating while handling lines, but I don’t want to hear that in an academic setting.
