But... Back on the issue...
Ehh my friend may have said that in the heat of the moment, like my friend screaming GD (insert Air Force general who's name I don't remember) when he was rejected by the Air Force Academy.
I do think that minorities are given special treatment, and, I have seen minor examples myself.
My point (or lack thereof) has been made

Fair enough but you cant say what women you prefer until you uh... experience them for example I found that German women are a bit more aggressive your typical American woman.Maybe it was just the area I was in but I got basically dragged out of a bar or techno club by a German woman a few times not because I was not willing to go but because I did not realize I was going anywhere until being grabbed
.
I think your friend is something he thinks that he is not if he gets passed over by such prestigious schools they are passing him over for good reason other candidates are out shining him clearly.Sounds to me like he is trying to fight outside his weight class.if your pal said "GD" General so and so then I'd say they made a wise choice not select him.
I guess your friend never heard of back up plans he should have applied to at least 10 or 15 schools 90% of people do not get accepted to their choice school or pick a school they had not planned on after touring it.Your pal could attend any number of ROTC programs and after 4 years be the same rank as the guy that went to Colorado.
I guess he is also unaware that one must also receive a nomination from one of four people The President of the United States(hang out with Mr.Obama) the Vice President(happen to know Joe?) or your congress House of Representative member or your US Senator.You will of course have already have met the admission requirements of said Academy.Oh and the Director of admissions at the Air Force Academy is one Colonel A.M. Benyshek she would have have signed any letter not a General.Your friend is lying.I was in the Air Force I know where to find the information I want to know about commanders and you can look it up easily anyway.
I some what dislike Air Force officers from the Academy to be frankly honest.You see when I was at basic training during the summer there where also cadets from Colorado that got to hang out with the TIs the idea was to see what basic training is like for enlisted the point of which I fail to see as they get the same experience from a discipline stand pint as we do their freshmen year.The problem is that each training squadrons commander had a different view on what these cadets could do in my squadron the 322nd they where not allowed to act like TI in any manner.At the squadron I had the misfortune of getting KP duty at the cadets where allowed to haze you in border line Russian military style short of physically touching you.WE got freaking needlessly ****ed with all damn day simply because these prep ass cadets had free reign to do what ever they wanted it really pissed me off when I noticed that several cadets assigned to my squadron where also there and there was no military discipline or training meaning or value to it.That is the way it goes in the Air Force you have the real workers the dogs and the Chair Force pencil pushing preps enlisted and officer who think they are high and mighty but you still get respect from the pilots no matter how they got the commission.Officers feel the same way towards each other as well in many cases according to a good friend from childhood who is an officer in the USAF via ROTC route.I am sure there are plenty of fine people from the AF Academy I and other airmen just had the misfortune of getting to be around the wrong ones at the wrong time.
