The main premise of the show is that starfleet kinda got a bit too authoritarian after the burn, and is trying to get back to its ideals. It’s a bit weird but it’s not nonsensical.
It also has huge potential. As we learned in First Contact, the Earth was coming out of World War III and it was the event of first contact that caused the world to come together. The Burn lasted about 100 years, which is at least a few generations of humanity and now we’re coming out of that.
Once again the Earth is moving from war to the Federation. Sure it’s a little easier this time, but no transition at that scale is a fast one.
I’m guessing one of the first big themes of Starfleet Academy will be getting to know and understand the “War College”, initially as rivals. Then in the future (later seasons) I expect they’ll begin to merge.

Maybe they should kick out the Jem’Hadar then.
