This is pretty sad. The Air Force Academy needs to reign in their druggies (I've been reading about drug scandals at the AFA for 2 years solid now) just like the Catholics and Mormons need to reign in their child molesters. Screw compassion, it's time to kick them in the ass hard!
Unfortuately, this isn't happening at the AFA alone ... my boyfriend is a graduate. I was asking him about this mess -he said it definitely happens at ALL military academies. Its just that the AFA is catching them.
As for the screening process, it is very intense. My guess is they get to the academy, first time away from mommy and daddy, and its one hell of a lot harder than high school. Then they do stupid crap like this. I am by no means defending their behavior; just presenting an explanation to the "why aren't they seeing this in the application process" question
