Being in the military doesn't mean you have a stake in the game at all.
I'm an Army Officer, but I have classmates from A&M that are on the faculty at the Naval Academy. I have absolutely no ties to USMA. In fact, the pompous attitude and douchiness of a lot of their graduates predisposes me to wish for them to lose every game.
They are not "the Army's team", they are west point's team.

You're an Army officer who happens to dislike people who graduated from the premiere academy for Army officers. Congratulations.
That doesn't mean other people in the Army can't feel a connection to the United States Military Academy, the elite training school for their branch of the military and the alma mater for many of their superiors and colleagues.

well put and when you work with a grad from any of the 3 academies you can tell sometimes it rubs people the wrong way.
