No wonder they cant beat Navy.
LOL I lived in Orange Cty, NY. The local joke is, "ever see Army play football?" "NOPE! And I've been to every game!"

These are to leaders in our military?
Just who is going to follow them?
Why would anyone follow them?
How long did bad louies last in Nam?
More bull$hit from our politically correct pussies in so-called leadership roles. No wonder the enemies of this country laugh at us.

All right, that’s funny right there...
To: jazusamo
They might as well have posed for the pic while standing on the American flag. And yet they won’t be punished.
To: jazusamo
Unfit to be officers in the U.S. Military. They are a disgrace to the army, their gender, and their race.

Speaking of which, I'm surprised no one bitched and moaned about the Army BLACK Knights, at least not yet. For that matter, "Knights" can evoke perceptions of the "knights of the kkk". HMMM, maybe I sould keep my big mouth shut and not give any SJW, BLM or some other PC not sees any ideas.

Courses? Are you kidding? They will never be proper soldiers. Always with a resentment toward america
This is learned and reinforced in the home. From a young age. Four years at West Point did nothing to root it out

Those aren’t troops, they’re going to be officers who will be fragged for trying to order real troops to shoot white people

“has ended with authorities deciding not to discipline the cadets, but to offer them additional counseling ahead of their graduation “
And to think someone of supreme character like Robert E. Lee once ran this place.
To: jazusamo
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,So, the cadets did nothing wrong, but some people might get their panties in a wad over their own interpretation of the event, so...

Anything that can be learned, can be unlearned with the proper training. If they are unwilling to learn, their career ends at Westpoint.

Counseling? Wow! Now that will really make a difference. NOT.

Why would the Army give them something to command?

Only if the CO is more interested in their own career than in doing the right thing or their Oath to the Constitution.
Been there.

Even though it is basically the same thing as a clenched fist.Ben, I have to disagree with you. While I consider it distasteful, the raised fist of the black power salute is miles away from the Heil Hitler salutes.
Those of us who served in the military know that "additional counseling" can be broadly defined. I suspect these young women's last days at the Point will not be as enjoyable as they expected.
Interested in hearing BFAC's thoughts on this subject.
