"A cadet's journey through West Point starts and ends with the Constitution, and in the middle is the American Politics program to educate them on the meaning of the oath" - SOSH's Lee Robinson and Joseph Amoroso. @ConversationUS @DeanUsma theconversation.com/military-perso…

A couple of news outlets were interested in how we teach cadets about their oath to the Constitution, so @amoroso_jg and I thought we should share how we do this! @WestPointSOSH theconversation.com/military-perso…
