"A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do." - I guess the cadet honor code no longer applies.

When I was a cadet the Honor Court was the most feared council on campus. A cadet convicted of violating the Honor Code was given the choice of resignation or expulsion.

The grim news was read over the P.A. at sunrise.

This insured I kept my eyes locked straight ahead during exams. Cheating scandals are usually conspiracies like this one, but the Code kept the honest folks honest.

What’s really sad is seeing West Point degenerate into a reflection of today’s corrupt common culture rather than the fortress of eternal values that it once was.

It’s 2020, man. Rules are being dropped left and right. Well, mostly left.
