A U.S. Army cadet reads a book entitled "Kill Bin Laden" as he waits with other cadets for U.S. President Barack Obama to deliver an address on U.S. policy and the war in Afghanistan at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, New York December 1, 2009. Obama is expected to announce a plan to send 30,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan over six months in a bid to beat back the Taliban and bring a quicker end to a costly and unpopular eight-year war.

That little story sickens me-this “CIC” doesn’t deserve to be addressing the Cadets of WP. Yes, I know he was elected and is “CIC”-that’s the shame of it.

Prior service enlisted.Must be one sharp troop to get selected from the ranks.The wreath with the rifle is the combat infantry badge.So yes,he has seen action in a combat theater.

I noticed the same thing. A combat infantry badge says this cadet is battle tested. Hoo-ah!

Yea I know. My admiration is for these fine cadets, the institutions to which they aspire and the people and traditions of the Westpoint.
