Idk, between this and bombing children in the Middle East, I feel like there are larger problems to address. Also US military is not the largest military in the world.
True, there is no objective manner to determine the "largest" or "most powerful" military. However, via this listing of militaries by different types of equipment[1], the US leads in 8 of 14 categories. I'll admit I thought the US would lead in more categories, but this is the majority of listed criteria. If one adds in military size, it would become 8/15 (still over half). The US also leads in various military strength indices.
For better or worse, the US is assumed to have the most powerful military in present day.

Do you think allowing more people who break clear explicit rules of conduct for immediate personal advantage into the military (and visibly doing so, so that you send the message that it is acceptable) will make those bigger problems better or worse?

By manpower? No. By virtually any capacity measure? Yes.
Maybe by manpower to, once you account for the large degree to which military functions are contracted out (including armed combat roles in war zones) and add in all the contractors performing those functions.
I think that the military has larger things to worry about as far as integrity. I think that cheating on exams won’t change anything as far as military goes.
People in Russia and China really don’t think the US military is the most powerful military.
Why do you keep bringing up people's beliefs if you admit they are irrelevant? Debate GP with facts about the military if opinions are so untrustworthy.
