Maybe we can get back to a normal Military that actually puts the fear into the hearts of the enemy now

If you have any interest in the U.S. military you know we have been following the Naval Academy affirmative action trial and resulting appeal very closely.

It all started after the stunning victory against race-based admissions in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, which we covered extensively:  Supreme Court: Harvard and UNC Affirmative Action “invalidated under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment”.

The glaring loophole in that case was that the Court allowed race-based admissions at military service academies to continue. From Footnote 4 of the Court’s opinion:

The United States as amicus curiae contends that race-based admissions programs further compelling interests at our Nation’s military academies. No military academy is a party to these cases, however, and none of the courts below addressed the propriety of race-based admissions systems in that context. This opinion also does not address the issue, in light of the potentially distinct interests that military academies may present.

So Students for Fair Admissions was forced to sue the U.S. Naval Academy, and West Point, which it promptly did.

Due to scheduling issues, the Naval Academy case was ready for a bench (non-jury) trial first, and after eight full days of testimony in the case, and more than two months of deliberation and opinion-writing by the Court, the federal District (trial-level) Court in Maryland ruled, in December 2024, that the Naval Academy could continue to consider race in admissions:
