In how to offend even more people? How’d you like to be under their command? Uh, no thanks.

I don’t know if they should be thrown out, but they definitely need more courses on how to be a proper soldier.

Of course not. They're a protected group.

Black privilege in action.

“While the inquiry did not find that these cadets violated a policy or regulation, it did determine that they demonstrated a lapse of awareness in how symbols and gestures can be misinterpreted and cause division,” he wrote on Tuesday to the Corps of Cadets. “The impact of this photo, regardless of its intent, is evident. It is unfortunate that this perception brought attention to our Alma Mater for all the wrong reasons.”

More Meaningless Pap.

Is there anyone better at than the Military?

When I was in the Air Force, anytime a General Swung by, s/he would spout platitudes so generic they were almost invisible.

What would happen if a bunch of cadets posed displaying a Confederate flag? How about if they had KKK hoods on?

I’m guessing that cadets posing with heil hitler salutes would have been treated differently.

Even though it is basically the same thing as a clenched fist.

They could not have proven the cadets’ intent. Without proving their intent, nothing could be done.

Whitey would have been thrown out in the street if he did the same thing.

But a man gets charged because his dog gives the Nazi salute.

Ok, it’s Scotland. But it’s coming.
Holder didn’t prosecute the bat swinging thugs at voter booths in Philadelphia either.

It would suck if I had to serve under these officers who are more Social Justice Warriors than real warriors.

They should have their promotion timetables delayed six months to a year.

They would learn a valuable lesson.

These are NOT stupid college kids.

These are the best of the best, and they survived the rigors of West Point for four years, graduating in ten days as commissioned officers in the US Army.

They knew what they were doing and what they were saying.

And it certainly wasn’t “Thank You!” to the white folks who paid for their education.

This is just the weak-kneed administrators buckling down to PC and probably, a phone call from the White House.

Disagree, this is the military, not a court of law.

Decades ago, someone I highly respect who is in politics told me - this “racial justice” movement is America’s cancer.

I didn’t quite get it at the time, but now I fully understand.

What do you want to bet that, had they been white boys, there would have been some serious punishment?

Just think of the poor CO who gets one of these black privileged gems working for him. They become untouchable.
