Episode description

The United States Military Academy in West Point, New York, is one of the most prestigious academic institutions in the United States. Their motto of “Duty, Honor, Country” is something for every cadet that attends the academy to aspire to. However, things haven’t always been that way. There was a period when West Point was downright rowdy and rambunctious. Learn more about the 1826 West Point Egg Nog riot and how the military academy completely went out of control one Christmas on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
