Well, there it is. The cadet was expelled from West Point over this incident. Just amazing that this can happen over a cop’s say-so without criminal or civil charges.
“The cadet was expelled from West Point..”
The article said “demoted” so I guess that is sort of the same thing. I am wondering why West Point would do that? To stop a man’s career because he was beaten up or because he had a few drinks on the plane?
I believe that when this happens, the USMA also presents the ex-cadet with a bill for his or her education, which could be many tens of thousands of dollars.
I hope that the USMA reviews their decision and reinstates the cadet.

Didn’t hear he was cashiered. Heard he was undedr diciplinary action for “Conduct Unbecomining”......
While I’m not a fan of “ring bangers”, and suspect its possible he was “tippling”, luggage is luggage and it associates with a lot of unwashed/unsightly/honkey luggage in its sojourn in the belly or on carousles. I somehow find it hard to believe Cadet King could be mistaken for the ubiquitous hispanic baggage boosters common to that airport even a couple of decades’ back.
I suspect the “Kaydet” was a victim of “diva ego” - possibly enhanced by publicity needs - of a waning “star”.... >PS

He is white. White boys don’t have rights.
After all the stuff that happened regarding alcohol at the Air Force Academy in 03-04, West Point has been very squemish about anything once the word “alcohol” has been mentioned. They’ve managed to stay out of bad press over cadet behavior that Air Force and Navy had a few years back. For that reason, I think they crucify anyone preemptively over anything that has to do with alcohol in the name of image protection.
