[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope OP is a troll rather than a complete idiot, but there is a good book from 2004, American Made, about studentd at West Point and their experiences, if someone’s kid is actually interested in it. It’s probably dated but still a good read. [/quote] The wild card, of course, is the historical moment. Among Eisenhower's West Point class in 1915, one third ended up as generals. But good lord, did they ever earn it. To come out of West Point as a 2nd Lieutenant at the height of WWI, and then be the senior military leaders in WWII, with those responsibilities - the lives of millions and the fate of civilization. It is an incredible responsibility. Some people lament how few young Americans are capable of being officers. But it is good that it is challenging and difficult for those that are admitted to the academies and the ROTC scholarships. Best and brightest, even today. [/quote]
