Question???? Are things like Saratoga, Chancellorsville, Austerlitz, Meuse- Argonne, even mentioned at the USMA anymore? Are such things studied in any detail??? Honest question.
A former instructor there says it is very much screwed up. I remember seeing his letter somewhere, but I can't remember where.
An assistant professor at West Point for several years, retired LTC Robert M. Heffington, wrote an open letter that alleges corruption, cheating, and failing standards inside the military service academy.
The letter floated around in private amongst military circles for a few days before Heffington confirmed to American Military News that he wrote the letter and sent the news outlet a signed copy on Wednesday.
Heffington wrote the letter in response to the recent news that a West Point graduate and infantry officer — 2nd Lt. Spenser Rapone — publicly advocated for communism and was an “official socialist organizer” of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
In the letter, Heffington slams West Point saying he isn’t sure the academy should even remain open at this point due to nonexistent academic standards, deteriorating curriculum, lies from administrators, failing disciplinary standards, and the erosion of the cadet honor code.
