Philetus suggests Muslims cadets plan to "plant the seeds of discord and sedition." Caesar Soze suggests that seditious gardening would get any cadet dismissed. Philetus replies that West Point is not the target. Caesar Soze asks philetus to identify the target and show what real, measurable harm these cadets are likely to cause. Quoth philetus:

West Pointers become officers in the military.

Not really an answer to my question, but I'll roll with it. So you're saying the military as a whole is the target. The institutional military, like the guys in ties who run things? Or the operational military, like the guys in boots who shoot things? With what weapon are they targeting the military? What are their likely courses of action, and what are the likely sequels to those COAs? Will they go after soft targets, or use Fabian force-on-force tactics?

Please, help me identify the vulnerabilities here and how they will be exploited. If we can provide the government with a life-saving warning, they'll probably give us medals.

You appear to believe there are "moderate" muslims, I don't.

I live next door to one of the larger Muslim concentrations in the United States. They own and operate businesses, have government positions, and send their kids to public schools. I am, if you please, on the front line of the "Muslim invasion." It's pretty benign so far. They seem to have ignored Bin Laden's 1996 call to war, as well as all the subsequent calls to war over the last ten years. I read the police blotter in the local paper, and they don't even seem to be committing their share of crimes. Maybe these people are moderate, maybe they're not; I don't know what qualifies one as "moderate." But if this is the face of extremism, I'm not worried.

And I'm still wondering why our putative Johnny Jihad joined West Point instead of enlisting, ROTC, or OCS. No offense to Academy graduates, but once you're on the job, it doesn't matter what your commissioning source was. The Army Chief of Staff graduated from Wyoming. The Chief of Military Intelligence was a direct commission. The Deputy Commanding General of the Intelligence and Security Command is an OCS grad. There is absolutely no reason for Johnny Jihad to attend West Point to infiltrate the US Armed Forces. There are much easier ways in.
