I think it is more a case - for me anyway - that in Australia, we do not have institutions yet - as we are a young country still - that the public hold in high regard. I see your point.

The public may see it... or not. That's why I'm posting it here. West Point is a significant institution, and graduates of West Point are held in high regard. It's important to note that it's not the institution itself that has officially made the statement, but this is a significant development. When West Point graduates speak, it's not a nothing.

They brush off most other attacks against them with the media spin - and more than likely other special dealings with them also. I don't see what a bunch of graduates from a military academy is going to accomplish? The public will see it and conveniently ignore it - like good little sheep. It is so sad. But then again, how great an institution is West Point to the American Psyche? I honestly can not see Wolfowitz (sp?), Rumsfeld and Bush quivering in thier boots over this one.
