Well, I certainly see your point. I think the Hasbro had originally planned for him to be Hawk's son in the Movie. However, they usually make a point of mentioning when one of the Joes went to a Service Academy. There was a discussion about that on this thread some time ago. I've even thought about VMI, but they do mention that on General Flagg's file card. Falcon is not explained. I've even thought about the Citadel.
but here's why I think UNC Chapel Hill. First it's a great school with a great ROTC program. Second, it's public and Falcon comes from an Army family; he's second generation Special Forces, so money doesn't grow on trees. Third, it's less than 2 hours from Ft. Bragg, the home of Special Forces, where his family might presumably be stationed. He could have gone down for some "extra training" on the weekends with his Dad's Group... and West Point simply would not allow/provide for that.
UNC is a great school. Solid ROTC, and it's one of the Top five Public Universities in the country. In the Comic, Falcon was always protrayed as pretty level headed. Not so in the Cartoon, but that's neither here nor there. Just my two cents.
