re: Is a&m actually a military academy?

You would be well served to understand the difference between cadets and veterans. They are cadets at Texas A&M. Some of them are prior service (e.g. veterans). Among the cadets, some are under contract to eventually commission and serve in the Armed Services. Lots of nuances. None of the cadets are asking for respect. But the institution as a whole deserves tremendous respect for what it has done historically in providing commissioned officers in service to our Nation.

Sir, I'm disappointed that you missed two key demographics: Drilling reservists/guardsmen and ROTC cadets enrolled in the Simultaneous Membership Program.
