Features: Graduates of the United States Military Academy (West Point) primarily become officers in various combat units of the U.S. Army. As a former instructor at West Point, Dr. Wang Feilin has directly witnessed how the academy cultivates its graduates to embody its motto: "Duty, Honor, Country." Graduates of West Point mainly become officers in the various combat units of the U.S. Army. They embody four primary roles: warriors, servants of the nation, professionals, and moral exemplars. Many of them achieve great success in combat; others, after leaving the military, make their greatest contributions in government and private enterprise. Regardless of how they contribute to society, the experiences of cadets at West Point shape them into principled leaders who can solve problems in ever-changing circumstances.
