Robert E. Lee graduated from West Point without a single demerit. I would be interested to see what other graduates managed that AND what became of them. From all accounts a very moral and religious man. I think in today's world Lee would have left the army before he made Captain.
He probably would be running a company like Chik A Fil A or Hobby Lobby.

George C. Marshall graduated from VMI without a single demerit.

My grandfather was the Commandant at VMI when George Marshall was a cadet. When he was in his dotage, he used to love to say: “The reason why George Marshall was so great was because I taught him everything he knows.”
