Compared to the bigger picture you're probably right, K, but my personal beef (and I admit I'm very biased here) is that young Mr. Campbell willingly swore an oath five someodd years ago along with around 1000 other men and women. In doing so, he promised to serve his country as an officer leading soldiers. I'm happy he's a good football player, but at the end of the day he agreed to be a soldier first and foremost. None of his other classmates are getting special treatment because they can play a game well--many are in or on their way to combat to lead our volunteer soldiers. Thus, IMO he needs to sack up, be true to his promise and put his personal dreams and ambitions on hold while he serves his nation in its hour of need.
