“Alexis Jones-Hardy told Channel 2 Action News that she quit the academy in 2012”

I wonder if it is just me, but these little hits seem to be 90+% from FORMER cadets. My thought is Alexis Jones-Hardy flunked out of the Academy and this is an attempt to make herself out to be a martyr rather than a failure. Actually, if you think about it with exception of political hits, the vast majority of these vile accusations come from disgruntled former employees, lovers, associates and other “formers”.

I am going to add to your point from my observations and witness accounts about the AFA. To me, the academy system is dated and needs an overhauled. First, Congressional appointments should probably be thrown out. Also, in today’s world, most 18 year olds are not ready for academy life. More of the non-appointed cadets are coming from the enlisted ranks within the services. In fact I have a friend whose son appointment to the Annapolis was to first enlist in the Naval nuclear program for two years and then transfer to Annapolis as a sophomore. The Airforce is reserving more slots for enlisted personal. To me, get these outstanding men and women in the enlisted ranks first to understand the heavy lifting of military life, then the Academy.

If your daughter were raped at a college, don’t you think she might not want to go there any longer?

And the ones that DO report, you never hear about.

This happens all over the country. Not just at Military Academies.

Check out the first link in post #9. She was arrested for shoplifting. I suppose that had little to do with her leaving the AFA. /s

For those who really want to know why rape is not reported...it’s called Google.

why don’t military women report rape

then read.
