Because someone is a good athlete he good should get special or different treatment than his Academy brothers? This place rants about pampered athletes playing "children games" being put on pedestals.
Dude, just stop.
This was a waiverable exception for ALL academy athletes up until right now. There are waivers for tons of things in the military for everyday people who want to serve. Waivers for medical, family situations, age requirements …all kinds of things.
Because unlike you, the military understands that the world isn’t black and white (figuratively and literally).
EDIT: And you should be slapped upside your head for comparing this dude to wife-beating, law-breaking Brittney Griner. Nobody is asking to turn international criminals loose so he can get what he wants. You sound foolish.

Update:
quote:
After an outcry over the future of star Army linebacker Andre Carter II, politicians scrambled to alter the language of a recently passed congressional bill that clears his path to the upcoming NFL draft.
New language formally filed Tuesday morning in a piece of end-of-year legislation will restore the opportunity for Carter and other current academy upperclassmen at Army, Navy and Air Force to defer military service to pursue professional sports.
