“Want to trim the federal budget and improve the military at the same time? Shut down West Point, Annapolis and the Air Force Academy, and use some of the savings to expand ROTC scholarships.”
Tom Ricks made the case in last Sunday’s Washington Post.
But that’s not the best line. This, from Charles Pierce is:
“I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out that, if Ricks’s proposal is enacted, Notre Dame is unlikely ever to win another football game.”
Not to be partisan – but we could always just close the Air Force.
OK, maybe that is a bit partisan.
