Best Answer

General George Edward Pickett, class of 1846, famous for his charge at Gettysburg and General George Armstrong Custer, Class of 1861, famous for his ignorance at the Little Bighorn.

Also, from the USMA website, George S. Patton, one of the greatest leaders during World War II, took 5 years to graduate West Point (when only 4 was allowed), was the 'goat' (last) of his graduating class, and who's statue at West Point faces the library, a place, it's said, he never visited during his tenure there.
