DOGE should streamline the military academies to save money

DOGE should streamline the military academies to save money: I hear that two patriotic billionaires are trying to cut federal spending. Considering we are beyond broke ($32 trillion in debt and counting), I hope they are successful. I have a modest suggestion for reducing federal spending that involves downsizing and consolidating our military training. 

I live near the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. Unlike many of my neighbors who Ohhh and Ahhh at the grandeur of the place and speak of it as the Second Coming, I see it as a Sacred Cow, long overdue for a visit from the auditor if not the butcher. The USNA is an empire we can ill afford. It’s like that song from the musical “Damn Yankees” (Whatever USNA Wants, USNA Gets).
