That’s not even the point. The civilian/military faculty split in Annapolis (I cannot speak for elsewhere) is by design. There are lots of good reasons for having civilians fill most faculty positions. There are obvious exceptions, such as Seamanship and Navigation.

Not all that many military officers have a PhD in Engineering or Naval Architecture or Aeronautics or in anything so yea good luck y'all. I guess that will reduce our tax burden when do one wants to go learn from boobs.

The singularly least educated and certainly most incompetent talking head to decide who gets tenured positions in our military. What a joke!

Until you actually get into a fight, when having Marshall in Hegseth’s chair proves remarkably useful. Marshall is also exponentially more warrior than Oeter ever will be
