We will not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate those among us who do.

They’re going after Christians who witness to their fellow cadets - that’s what they need snitches for.

It’s come to this!

This reminds me of Junior high school. How juvenile things have become

This will create cohesion and loyalty in the ranks of AF officers, and help them to focus on their mission.

Thought they had an honor code?

It’s on-the-job training - the 0bama military will need its commissars.

I recently read Robin Olds’ memoirs (former commandant of cadets and a West Point graduate) and he focused on the simple meaning of words, not process, and legalities.

Certainly he had his share of drunken brawls in officer clubs, when he wasn’t being a fighter ace, and commander of other fighter pilots, and sometimes when he was doing those things.

That’ll really hurt unit cohesion. Everyone will be suspicious of everyone else.
Sounds like the old USSR’s use of political officers in their military units.

Whatever happened with honorable behavior?

Back in my days, the Honor Code pretty much kept everyone in line.

This is what happens when “Leadership” gets co-opted. Damn glad I’m retired (and no slam on USAFA, truly fine outfit out there).

They must have informants if the cadets can’t conform to their own code of conduct. It’s an indictment of the culture - they’re a bunch of liars.

It’s one thing to expect Cadets to report those behaviors if they witness them. Quite another to recruit Cadets to actively go out and collect information from the fellow Cadets though spying or conducting misinformation. This is disgusting, but, not unexpected from this regime.

That would have resulted in a pretty fierce ass whooping at the mil school I attended. We took our honor code seriously. We took screwing over your rook buddy even more seriously.

.... but they want bestiality allowed in the UCMJ.... good little rabbits.

The rule of thumb was if something could be stopped or ongoing, to tell about it. If it was a past one time deed that was done, no need to mention it.

Irony is that in the Army there was a double game of making it together or being controled by the DS via his tactics of dividing. Ironically the weak links were playing it but eventually gave up on their own.

I remembered incidents of little groups sneaking under the wire and investigations and no one saying a thing. It was a sort of mission success as to make us a cohesive unit that managed its own responsibilities, but the overseers were a bit upset.

You always had the retard saying he was sleepy and getting everybody do push ups during class.... these were the snitches or selfish idiots that were the target..... good times.

To catch cadets who criticize the administration?

" urged informants to deceive classmates, professors and commanders while gathering information to file secret reports aimed at exposing wrongdoing at the Air Force Academy,"

Informant Eric Thomas: "“It was exciting. And it was effective...It was like a spy movie,”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

No doubt he was psychologically profiled before he was chosen for the gestapo squad.

I doubt the CiC has limited this perversity, which has nothing to do with the Honor Code, to the AFA.

Out here in the civilian world, that’s called “entrapment.”

Political Commissars should fit right in to 0bama’s new military.

Eventually the military will established a “Political Officer Corps” like the Soviets did. This was featured in the movie “The Hunt for Red October”.
