What no comments about creepy POTUS unwanted touching of the cadet! I guess just only Biden warrants comments.

In My younger days I had attended Bordentown Military Institute as a Cadet, Our Commandant of Cadets, Colonel John H. Roosma, a Class of 1926, West Point graduate was the top basketball player at the USMA and considered the top player in the entire United States. He was the first college level basketball player ever to score over 1,000 points and accounted for over 60% of the points scored by the West Point basketball team while He was Cadet there. He made a career out of the US Army which He later retired from. Colonel Roosma although He never got to play for the NBA was however inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1961 Upon His plaque at the HOF He is wearing an Army uniform. and it reads Colonel John S. Roosma. All three of His son's also graduated from West Point and one retired as a Major General, the other two as Full Colonels. His Granddaughter also graduated from West Point and the last I knew She was also a Colonel. Colonel John S. Roosma and His wife are both buried at the USMA, West Point.
Note: The MVP, Most Valuable Player, Award for basketball at West Point is also still named after Colonel John S. Roosma
