description Using data gathered while researching the Special Military Academy (École Spéciale militaire) of Saint-Cyr Coëtquidan in 2002, this article shows that the training of future French officers can be subdivided into three different sorts of instruction : military, academic and “moral”.

The article points to the fact that cadets are often already convinced of the importance of patriotism and other military values upon entering the military academy. Moreover, with the passage of time, the cadets’ enthusiasm for bravery and sacrifice seems to cool slightly, as they slowly become more realistic about their commitment.
