That is a moronic statement I suspect you never attended one of the federal service academies. I also suspect you have never worked in fortune 500 America where ex-military, academy grad types are highly sought-after recruits for management positions. Don't let the word academy confuse you, Army/Navy/Air Force are fully accredited universities with high academic standings (in addition to the other benefits). Annapolis is probably slightly more academically oriented than the USAFA.

Not sure whether you're bitter about something or just totally clueless, but don't spread the bad gouge.

To address the original question...Annapolis and West Point have a fair number of foriegn students, I assume the air force would also.
