How many Cambodian student study at West Point school?
At the moment we know two: Hun Sen's son, Hun Manet and Sidney Tan, from Oregon. There might be more, but we don't know yet. West Point is a very prestigious military school which is the equivalent to Harvard University in the U.S or Cambridge University in Britain. Top military university, only the elite can go there by nomination from ambassadors, politicians and congressman etc.
