Gracing the halls of the US Army War College are large plaques that contain the names of honored graduates dating back to 1902.

Upon closer inspection of the plaques, some surfaces reveal bare spaces on the list of names where those that have dishonored their position have been removed from the ranks for plagiarism, ethics, dishonor, and scandal.

The Army War College is part of the Professional Military Education (PME) structure.
