A high school student looks at a weapon as he waits to shoot on a firing range during training exercises at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York June 19, 2008. Each summer, 800 high school kids hoping to become soldiers spend a week at West Point to see what life is like at the prestigious U.S. military academy for future army officers. With the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan straining the U.S. military and public support low for the Iraq war, recruiting future officers might seem a tough sell. But officials say applications to the summer program are at a record high. Picture taken June 19, 2008.(Xinhua/Reuters Photo)
