Military Schools and Academies
Military schools serve a multitude of purposes: they prepare young men for service in the military, they provide discipline for students who have difficulty performing in a traditional school environment, and, specifically in the United States, they represent a continuity with the history of the US related to both education and military service.

What year did Union General Joseph Hooker graduate from West Point?
Yes - but that was about the only conventional aspect of his military career.
After a good Mexican War, he testified against the Commander-in-Chief (Scott) at a court martial, and probably for this reason, was not even allowed to re-join the Army at the outbreak of the Civil War.
After a personal appeal to Lincoln, he eventually got a commission, but managed to quarrel both with the President and every General her served under. (He was, however, popular with the rank-and-file, whose conditions he greatly improved.)
When it came to replacing the virtuous but ineffectual Burnside as commander of the Army of the Potomac, Lincoln selected Hooker for his fighting qualities, and the choice appeared to be a wise one.
Then at Chancellorsville, he was wrong-footed by the Lee/Jackson team and his tactics became muddled. Too badly wounded to direct the battle, he refused to hand over to his second-in-command, and it ended in humiliating defeat. He was replaced just before Gettysburg.
Which military college is the strictest West Point The Citadel or the Virginia Military Institute?
VMI, overall. West Point has stricter academic standards, but lower physical and training standards. Citadel is a great place and also good overall, but has dropped in academic performance in the last decades (and being in wonderful Charleston SC gives it an unfair advantage, making the cadets softer- JK).
The very Spartan lifestyle combined with an excellent education (as rated by Forbes and other news outlets) provides for the strictest overall rating.

Yes:
"
Benedict Arnold was born in Norwich, Connecticut, on January 14, 1741. He married Margaret Mansfield, but she died on June 19, 1775. Four years later he married Peggy Shippen.
Arnold opened a druggist shop that also sold books. He also did a lot of traveling for his business. He was in the West Indies when he learned about the Boston Massacre. He reacted by saying, "Are the Americans all asleep and tamely giving up their liberties?" He wrote that the Colonists should take "immediate vengeance!"

Benedict Arnold was an American general. At the beginning of the Revolution, Benedict Arnold was one of the bravest. Benedict Arnold tricked the British into thinking that thousands and thousands of American forces were heading to Fort Schuyler. There were really less than a thousand were going to the fort. The Americans entered the fort with no enemy, thanks to Benedict Arnold's trick.
By 1779, Arnold had been making deals with the British. He did this because he was angry at the American Government for court-marshalling him because they found him guilty of using the army for his own personal reasons. He also went to the British because he wanted more money and he was in debt. The British gave Benedict Arnold a lot of money to become a British spy. They also promised to make him a British officer but they never fully trusted him.
Arnold offered to turn West Point over to the British. West Point was an important American fort, and Arnold was the general there. John André was a major in the British army. John André and Benedict Arnold exchanged letters about the plans for West Point. John André was caught by the Americans, and they found the documents in his sock. The documents showed that Benedict Arnold was a traitor. Benedict Arnold escaped from the Americans, and he was never caught. For the rest of his life, he lived in Canada and England.
He died in London, England, on June 14, 1801."
