Oh, come on.  There's no indication whatsoever that this has anything to do with "contempt" for the military.  There's plenty to criticize the NCAA for (both in this case and in general).  But this is clearly just the NCAA bureaucracy blindly applying a rule, without applying any intelligent judgment -- which is something the NCAA does frequently.  In this case, it happens to hurt someone in the military.  But I'm certain that the decision would have been exactly the same if the individual in question had not been in the military, but had accidentally run afoul of the same rule in a very similar way.
