The Age of Upside Down
“Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio?” ~Simon and Garfunkel 1967. Seems appropriate in this age of upside down. Where are the heroes? Where are the adults?

My personal perspective on West Point, obviously, is mine alone. It’s aged over 50 years since graduation and informed by 65 years of reading history as well as over 2 decades working as an Army “Futurist.” I believe West Point should focus on creating the cadre of the “military priesthood” of the U.S. Army. I know such a shift would get mixed results, but 50 years from now Americans would know the Long Gray Line is about winning America’s wars above all else.
