Thank you.  My DD is headed to WP this summer and we couldn't be more proud of her or excited for her.  [/quote]

How long has she had the goal of attending West Point?  Is this something that predated researching colleges?  [/quote]

She has always been a war buff. We have watched Band of Brothers, the entire series, at least 3 times.  Fascinated by tanks and WWI especially. Really kicked into gear in high school and became her focus. When looking at colleges we also looked at VT Cadet Corp and just ROTC programs. But her focus had been on WP since sophomore year and she did it. If she didn't get in she would have gone to VT. [/quote]

She drank the kool aid.

My mom used to say patriotic war movies were free OR/recruiting tools for the military.

Glorifying a brutal business that damages young people both physically and mentally. [/quote]
