No I don't. How could a perpetual hoax honor a man who died for his country? Does the visitor take away the story of sacrifice for a young marine or the BS of his great uncle?

Nope, to me this is classic bureaucracy at work.

No it doesn't, but misrepresenting your service record for your own glory is stolen valor from those who made the sacrifice. I draw the line on that behavior. It especially has no place in the Naval Academy.
