West Point Puff Piece

It's probably easier for a journalist to write a puff piece on my alma mater when he has a relative who will attend there, as is the case with this article. I genuinely liked this paragraph from the middle:

To the moms and dads of all those in uniform, West Point says: When America puts your sons and daughters in harm's way, they will be led by men and woman of character and ability.
