West Point, N.Y.
........ The class of 1976—who left West Point at a low point for both the Army
and its famed training ground—has produced a striking number of
generals now influencing the shape of the U.S. military. All told, at
least 33 active and retired generals, now all in their mid-50s, were
among its 855 graduating members. Gen. McChrystal’s deputy in Kabul,
Lt. Gen. David Rodriguez, was a classmate, as was the officer leading
U.S. efforts to train the Iraqi army, Lt. Gen. Frank Helmick. Retired
Lt. Gen. Dave Barno, who spent 19 months as the top commander in
Afghanistan, was also West Point ’76. Read More...

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — West Point officials who ordered anti-war
demonstrators out of an Army-Navy basketball game did not violate their
First Amendment rights, a federal jury decided Wednesday. The
jury found that the protesters' message — they wore T-shirts spelling
out "U.S. out of Iraq" — was not the main reason for their expulsion. The
eight protesters, admittedly looking for attention, stood in the top
row of the bleachers to display their message as the national anthem
was played before a game in 2004. Building manager John Spisso ordered
them to cover up the shirts or leave, and when they refused, they were
escorted out by military police, held for three hours and charged with
disorderly conduct. Read More...
