If General Westmoreland offered him admission to West Point -- the top ROTC cadet in Detroit, black and perfect grades and board scores -- guess what... he's in.


Westmoreland could not have offered him admission. Only the service academy can do that. Westmoreland could not even nominate him, unless he was a member of congress or senate, or a handful of similarly qualified nominating officials.

He certainly could have explained it better, but there is little doubt he was offered admission.

Again, only the USMA can offer him admission...

PS: my son is a graduate of the 2002 bicentennial class.
