Let's see, we have 38 plus 6 out of a student body of 4,300. It looks like the academy is fielding .999, better than Steve Garvey ever did. Sure, bad apples, many undoubtedly inspired by an ex-president who skated, need to be rooted out. But the other 99.9% of the cadets deserve our praise and respect.

Check your math. You are off by an order of magnitude. Damn decimal points.

.999 is off by one order of magnitude
nonetheless, ~.99 is still good (assuming that there aren't a few additional percent who are just not getting caught), considering the sheer number of candidates arriving with the imprimatur of a 'rat congresscritter
in fact, one might reasonably expect a higher rate each year considering the current abysmal state of the culture through which they have percolated

I visit Colorado Springs frequently so I'm attuned to some of the stuff that's going on at the Academy. Going back several years I attended an Academy graduates wedding at the Academy chapel ... during the fall I've gone to many of the their football games. However, it seems the Academy has had more than its share of scandals in recent years ... last year (or, at least recently) you may recall a AF Academy cadet (female) from Texas, who was found guilty of murder. Her boyfriend who was attending one of the other military academies was also charged in the same murder.
