Not all the service academy officers are from prominent upbringings. My brother got in without having any political or military connections. He got in by busting his arse in school and in athletics.

As for the guy that said they won't be infantry leading people into battle, Many SEALS, Rangers, and Delta Force come from the Academy. Also every infantry unit has an officer, many of which come from the Academy.

I was an officer (ROTC). Were there some ringknockers that lorded it over others? Sure. But they were as liable to catch shite from their fellow academy grads as from us.

(I will say that if there is an officer stereotype out there, it is this: Texas A&M grads were overwhelmingly obnoxious and arrogant. The penis-envy they had for the Annapolis guys was remarkable. If for no other reason, when they join the SEC, I want them to get their asses stomped. {small sample sie, YMMV})
