It's Annapolis and they are midshipmen. I'm not sure what you mean by "fortunate sons of the Citadel." Do you know anything about the Citadel? This fortunate son of the Citadel was not kept out of harms way. Good officers lead from the front as I did in the sandbox in Gulf War I. The Citadel has 12 KIA to date, in Afghanistan and Iraq. The first KIA in Iraq was a Citadel grad and Marine LT. We lost another one just last week in Anbar. They served honorably. You didn't serve at all. Don't speak ill of those who are better than you.
