James Pelosi... class of 1973 spent his last two years at West Point... shunned... called "Silenced" at West Point for cheating. He made it through and was Commissioned... made it all the way to Colonel. He was allowed to stay because the Superintendent wrote a memo that was later viewed as "Command Influence" precluding him from getting a fair Cadet trial.
Just an interesting anecdote. Nothing more. And I didn't have to find it. I am West Point Class of 1975. I remember voting to silence Pelosi.
