Talk:United States Military Academy

Length of lead
I see nothing wrong with the length of the lead, given the scope the of the article. Absent specific concerns raised on the talk page, I am removing the tag about the long lead. –Zfish118⋉talk –Zfish118⋉talk 21:03, 17 March 2023 (UTC)


 * It came back, so I've removed it again. BilCat (talk) 02:06, 21 June 2023 (UTC)


 * You added back the second time, so would you like to explain your specific concerns? Thanks. BilCat (talk) 02:12, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry, lede looks good. I did some trimming previously and I think I might have left the tag there. GuardianH (talk) 13:14, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

Photograph
The first photo is lame. Get a better one. First of all of the 3 POLITICIANS pictured, only one "served" in the Army (arguably - Hobson served in the National Guard, I can't speculate whether is was to avoid the Draft or not...) They are totally irrelevant and yet are the main focus of the picture. Of the actual military, only the Commandant is named - none of the cadets are identified - neither by rank nor name.Surely, there are plenty of public domain photographs that better depict the undergraduates at West Point. (Hint: it's not just some posers in Dress Uniform).40.142.183.146 (talk) 20:16, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Hobson served in the Ohio Air National Guard from 1958 to 1963. This would have been before it was fashionable to avoid the draft. As for National Guard slots, someone must fill those positions because the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard of each state is a significant part of the reserve component of the Army and the Air Force. The picture in question serves to exhibit the uniforms of the senior leadership of the Corps of Cadets. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion. The Congress members are all serving on the Armed Services Committee. No one is a "poser" in the picture.Cuprum17 (talk) 21:15, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Commissions
"As all cadets are commissioned as second lieutenants upon graduation". This is presumably true only of cadets who are US citizens, and not of the foreigners who attend. If that is, right, this sentence should be qualified.Bill (talk) 23:02, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

Business leaders
The grammar on the business leaders section is WILD -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:647:4B81:15B0:E1B2:BDDC:73EC:D511 (talk) 04:33, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
