Then there is the other side of the coin.  Many immigrants have come to thins country and made a wonderful life through hard work and prudent saving and investing.   I see it all the time in California.   

I think to a certain extent, our society preaches victim-ology.  I acknowledge that the playing field is uneven, but the opportunity is still there.   I think we must always strive to make it as even as possible.

However, anyone can make it if they are willing to do what is needed.

Caleb Campbell isn't going to Iraq either.

And he's being treated like a 'hero'.

He isn't disobeying any orders or violating the UCMJ:

Campbell will enter the NFL through an Army policy that allows highly regarded athletes to turn pro after their graduation from West Point. This policy, enacted in 2005, a year after Campbell entered the academy as a plebe, allows the athlete to serve a portion of his military service obligation as a recruiter. Cadets who do not play intercollegiate revenue sports, by comparison, have a five year service obligation in the branch they selected at graduation; the higher your rank, the more likely you get the branch you want.
