Posts - Bill - HR 5046 Restoring Merit in the Military Service Academies Act
house 08/26/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to ensure that admissions to the U.S. Military, Naval, and Air Force Academies are based solely on a standardized measure of merit, prohibiting any consideration of race, sex, ethnicity, or religion in the selection process. This aims to promote fairness and transparency by relying exclusively on candidates' composite scores.

No special treatment, no quotas—just pure, unfiltered excellence. That’s how you defend America.

Finally, an admission process that follows brains, not identity politics—merit wins the day!

This bill sends a clear message: America’s service academies are for the best, not the preferred.

Meritocracy without context is just a fancy word for preserving the status quo—diversity matters, and this bill ignores that fact.

I get the need for fairness, but excluding demographics feels like erasing real-world challenges from the equation.

Sounds fair on paper, but merit can mean a lot of different things beyond a number on a test.

Standardized tests don’t measure courage or resilience—this bill reduces our academies to test-score factories.
