ROTS and West Point Cadets visit Warsaw

A group of 11 ROTC and West Point cadets visited Warsaw as part of a two-week tour of Poland and the Czech Republic.  The cadets are international relations majors, and are conducting the tour as part of their study program.  The tour is sponsored by the United States Military Academy at West Point, and the U.S. Embassy was happy to assist the group in arranging meetings with the Polish General Staff, Ministry of Defense, and Ministry of Internal Affairs.  Despite jet lag, the cadets were eager and attentive, and challenged their hosts with complex questions about Poland's political systems, military structures, and world views.
