They removed it from the mission statement.

What military school did you go to Pete? A college buddy was assistant soccer coach at USMA. For 4 summers I worked week long soccer camps at West Point. What an experience! Beautiful place. Impressive.

Reminds me of a funny story from college. There was a big guy (make that tall and quite heavy) that played football and wrestled heavyweight. His name was Harry Sherman. So of course we called him Tank Sherman. He had a girlfriend that was short but heavy. We called her Halftrack.

The only question now is, did they stay together and have a fleet of little Jeeps?
