I'm thinking about going to West Point so I liked the military history part of it.

It's safe, people have family values.

I wouldn't mind living some place like this that is still kind of rural.

I got to thinking, 'Hey, this is something I've always been interested in -- military history, ... It's not so much building more monuments but making sure the ones we do have are maintained correctly.

Indeed, as a view of American military history it may be rivaled only by the vista from Little Round Top at Gettysburg,

It's one of the most significant military modernizations in history. And anyone who would deny that I think is simply trying to avoid a difficult truth.
