After Sullivan’s class, the cadets mill around in the MIT ROTC building lobby. They dawdle, looking at photos and chatting in small groups. But as soon as they are told, they hurry to line up outside. The cadet bearing the Paul Revere battalion flag takes his place at the end. Two cadets each take command of part of the line. “Fall in! Right face! Forward march!” they shout. “Left, left, left right left.” The cadets march in single file. The cadets strike up cadences...
