I just watched it, I felt very bad for the guys who did not make it.
It seems to me a terrible waste of resources. To take people with a decade's worth of naval experience, experience sufficient to even put one in the running for command, and then to throw it away because they were unable to pass the test.
I guess I can see this thought that someone rejected by "the system" might harbor resentments about that and try and sabotage the system in retribution, but I would think that someone able to make it into command school would be above that sort of thing.
I suppose they have more candidates than subs so they can afford to be choosy.
