Text, text, text-right, text.

Veterans are outraged that a West Point cadet decided to phone it in during a march on Saturday morning.

The cadet, who was wrapping up a 47-month training experience and graduating, had her eyes glued to her phone instead of paying attention to marching.

The country is irretrievably dead and everyone knows it. Memories at best, and they fade.

You've been looking in the mirror too much. America is based on people who never give up, not losers like you. Go whine somewhere else.

“...Maybe he had a medical profile that allowed him to use the roller bag...”

No, but he was the best basketball player on the varsity.

Agree. Maybe West Point should be shut down for a few years, or however long it takes to clean house.

Per FM 3-21.5: “upon the command, the soldier is no longer required to retain cadence; however, silence and approximate interval and distance are maintained.”

I don’t remember using it very often...and never in the ‘real army’ after West Point...but I could probably count on one hand the number of times we ‘marched’ in the regular army, outside of PT running formations. And I don’t really know why it was used, other than laziness. In this picture, I know they are walking up a route that has long steep grades...some of the women are in heels...and for some reason they are only using half the road and four across (possibly elongating the unit and making it hard to hear somebody calling cadence). So, the short timer cadet calling cadence probably just decided to say ‘screw it’, and called at ease march.

"America is based on people who never give up"

America was based on morals, principles, ideas, and vision.

Those were voluntarily *given up*; America wasn't conquered by an invading army.

Like I said, you’re speaking for yourself. If you think the country is dead, then the only reason you’re still here is to try to get everyone else to give up like you have. Which makes you a traitor. I suggest you run far and fast to your safe space, and hide.

Doubling down on personal attacks, name calling and escalating to threat?

I’ll have to leave you to yourself, goodbye.

You beat me by a few years (1982). If you’re a Vietnam vet, we still owe you.

I have a new invention, a naval attachment for your cell phone.

You occasionally get a call.

But most of the time, it sits silently sucking the life out of you.

Until you are so dried up, you don’t even care anymore.
