The Honor Code is dead, which means the academy is dead.Honor itself is dead.
The two individuals in the pic a few posts above, is proof of it.

and we often discuss if the military would ever fire on American citizens.

I'm not that worried.
The Obama Brigades could never handle really destructive weapons, and could be rapidly dispatched simply by leaving bags of weed and munchies alongside any road they were marching on.
Wait a few hours, then it's party time.

“The inquiry concluded that the photo was among several taken in the spur-of-the-moment. It was intended
to demonstrate unity and pride, according to the findings of the inquiry.”
Uhhh, bullsh@t.

At least Moochelle has the cajones to extend her arm. All her partner can do is offer a little “I’m in too” motion.

I’m afraid our military could not win against a real foe. It has been de-nutted.

So, how would they feel if they threw up a gang sign? I mean, it wasn’t preplanned, and just done spur of the moment to show team bonding, right?
To: lqcincinnatus
With as much DISrespect as I can muster, that is a load of horseshit Lt. Gen Caslen. As a former Army Officer and combat wounded veteran, I am ashamed and dismayed at your assertions that the demonstration was NOT preplanned nor set out to make a political statement is a flat out LIE. There will be no service in Duty, Honor and Country for these cadets because they have demonstrated a complete lack of all three. I pity the brave men and women who have to serve under them and I am deeply troubled with what has happened to my Army. The truth is, “This ain’t your father’s Army”.

An image search of "raised fist army" reveals ONE picture of a U.S. based armed forces group raising their fist in the bonds of unity. One! Only one!
And it just so happens to be these 16 female cadets from West Point.
