"We rely on the American people to send us their best. Every now and then we don't get the right people,"

Well, now isn't that convenient? True, Our faithful Congressional members, the same the ones who upheld the Constitution so well they gave Clinton a pass on perjury, rape, obstruction of justice, etc., also make the Academy appointments. On the other hand, the USAF has significant input in admissions (ever hear of a background check?).

This USAF Officer ought to be cashiered immediately. He can't push back blame for dirty USAF Cadet's upon the American people. The USAF is responsible for the standards it sets, the standards it enforces, and the failure to instill those standards in their cadets. One or two misfits are an aberration, and can be weeded out as plebes. THIRTY-EIGHT misfits are a long term, institutional failure!

"THIRTY-EIGHT misfits are a long term, institutional failure! "

Yes, it is a failure of our modern society.
