Field officials don't create rules. Military Academies are, in fact, "special" and there was a time that those who understood they were "special" didn't need to ptomote their being special, it was simply understood, so there was really no need to claim an exception.
Accepting rational standards doesn't detract from being truly recognized as "special", as that designation supercedes standards.
