Unless this has happened before ... the severity is warranted ... imo.

The mentality of a relatively intelligent kid (what, 20 years old?), highly trained and disciplined, who thinks this might be fun/funny ... is dangerously sick

We already have the experience of one certified whack job in the white mosque .... y'want one on the battlefield too?

Or worse ... pushing policy as an admin ?

Most of those Cadets are right out of HS, many just turning 18. What I read is they had helmets to wear, and some put them in the pillowcases, and the result was something like 100 injuries, some concussions.

I'm with you. Ideal Cadets are tough and competent, and should have good enough judgement to not do things that can injure their peers. What happened is not leadership potential.
