One person’s cheating is another person’s justification to remove Trump from office.
First, the cheaters are dishonest, so kick their butts out.
Second, the cheaters are stupid, so kick their butts out.
and they were probably ugly too.
why isn’t cheating a removable offense....you know...duty, HONOR, country.
Can’t rehabilitate lack of Character.
> 55 cadets have admitted cheating and have been enrolled in a six-month rehabilitation program focused on ethics <
Really? Just a rehabilitation program? Why even bother? Just make them write “I will probably not cheat anymore.” 50 times on a sheet of paper.
> enrolled in a six-month rehabilitation program focused on ethics.
Oh FFS, if you don’t know cheating is wrong by the time you’re in college WTF is a “program” going to do? It’s like the annual sexual harassment training they force everyone in the military to sit through.
This is a reflection of modern US culture. You’re going to see more and more amoral shitbags enter the officer corps, and there’s not much you can do about it because we’re past the point of no return. The upshot for leftist politicians is it’ll be a lot easier to put down protests to whatever their latest outrage is.
This is no surprise. Don’t the liberals claim math is racist?
Throw out every cheat. Is there no honor?
Did someone cheat to try and steal the election for class president? /sarc
That should eliminate a few more godless liberals from our officer ranks.....
How many Football players?
On one hand, they’re 18-19 year old kids. A 19 year old enlisted man would get an article 15, do the corrective training and you move on with your mission. That your may be ruined, but if you want to make a career, for the most part you just had a setback.
On the other hand, they are a group of over fifty cadets who were given a golden opportunity that many other candidates and they pissed it away in their very first year. That’s a failure of leadership, it’s a failure of integrity, and that list of names is going to get out. Imagine any one of them trying to lead a platoon or heaven forbid one of them reaches company command. I don’t know how you justify the decision not to expel.
why not expulsion rather than a second chance for those found cheating? Is this what we want our military leaders to ne?
What? Many at the Pentagon already are?
Never mind.
Affirmative Action Recruiting
IIRC Academy cadets and midshipmen are subject to the UCMJ. If I’m correct...let the trials begin!
I’d be willing to bet that a cheater, 50 years ago, got kicked out and no shot at “rehabilitation “. Just doesn’t sound right.
Boy oh boy, have standards slipped.
The Honor Code - I will not Lie, Cheat, or Steal; nor will I tolerate any that does.
There was a time, not too long ago, when every West Point cheater would be expelled as unfit for service.
Our Nation is truly lost....
West Point might as well be considered a public school. They sure seem to take punishment just as serious.
Incredible! In the old days, they would have been kicked out and probably given a bad-conduct discharge to boot.
