No screening process is perfect. But that's ONE of the reasons the academy environment is something of a pressure cooker...it provides bad apples another four years in which to deselect themselves. I don't view academy attrition for honor and misbehavior as a bad thing, it's mostly the system doing what it's supposed to do. I'd much rather it happen there than in the active-duty officer corps.
