The 16 black West Point cadets who caused a stir after posing for a photograph with raised fists wont be disciplined over the image, the U.S. Military Academy said Tuesday.
An internal investigation launched after the snapshot surfaced online has ended with authorities deciding not to discipline the cadets, but to offer them additional counseling ahead of their graduation on May 21, West Points superintendent, Lt. Gen. Robert Caslen Jr., said in a letter to the academys student body this week.
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.
West Point confirmed last week that an investigation was launched amid concerns raised by the photograph, which shows 16 female members of the Military Academys Class of 2016 posing in uniform on school property with their fists raised in the air.

Good point. A lot of people think the government will not find many troops that will be willing to kill American civilians. I am not at all convinced of that.
Or Lesbians.
Or Muzzies.

You’d probably prefer them to be lined up and shot. That will teach them as well.
When the ChiComs cracked down on the Tiananmen Square protesters, they couldn’t use the PLA brigades that were stationed in Beijing, because they were too close to the protesters and wouldn’t fire on them.
So they brought in soldiers who were stationed in the remote areas of China, who had no idea what had been going on there, to fire on the protesters.
That’s one of the reasons why they want aliens to join the military, they would have no loyalty to this country and would be more than happy to fire on citizens.
Yep. The armchair commanders here each with their own personal 15-6 investigations apparently know better than the superintendent.
I am not sure if the scum sucking dirt bangs are intelligent to think of that, but it's possible. Didn't the Romans have a lot of barbarians in their Army too?
Conversely, when they want to introduce troops that US civilians will not hesitate to fire upon, who will be called upon? Works both ways, does it not?
it these were white boys raising their fists, there would be a Congressional investigation and the boys would be kicked out for being racist immediately....
Any Hudson High grad is virtually “untouchable”. These snowflakes will be lethal to all whites.
