US Naval Academy: War Promotes Serious Attitude

The US Navy is trying to make sure that its plebes (first-year students) understand the seriousness of being in the Navy while a war is on, even to the point of planting dummy IED's in roads where the plebes will be training.

I heartily approve. The service academies should always be a separate world from a civilian university: tougher, more focused, more oriented towards an adult outlook.
