White House reporters always like to tell us what the president is reading. But what about West Point cadets? Several were spotted with books as they waited for Obama’s speech to begin the other night. Drudge has displayed a photo of one reading Kill Bin Laden. Additional images show cadets with On Killing by David Grossman and The Apostle by Brad Thor.

This last book is the only one I know: Thor podcasted with NRO this summer. The novel includes an unflattering portrayal of an Obama-like commander in chief.
