#1 Then, Obama will fly up to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point to speak for.......two, possibly close to three times that long before a keenly interested military audience, many of whom may well be affected by Obama's pronouncement.

An young, impetuous audience who have been schooled to run toward the sound of the big guns and will be cheering and applauding wildly. Nothing wrong with youth or the USAMA mind you, God Bless them all. They're simply being trotted out and used as convenient, cheering props and photo opportunity for Barry.
