After all the stuff that happened regarding alcohol at the Air Force Academy in 03-04, West Point has been very squemish about anything once the word “alcohol” has been mentioned. They’ve managed to stay out of bad press over cadet behavior that Air Force and Navy had a few years back. For that reason, I think they crucify anyone preemptively over anything that has to do with alcohol in the name of image protection.

Note my response in the post above. The academy is very squemish anytime alcohol comes into the mix.

I sent West Point an email:

Dear West Point Public Affairs:

My wife and I are big supporters of veterans and our men and women currently serving in the military. We raise money for the USO, set up historical displays at schools, museums, parades and numerous other public events. We also do other volunteer work supporting military families.

We read of the attack on Cadet Richard King who was beaten by Patti LaBelle’s body guard thugs apparently at her direction. We watched video taken by airport security cameras and read accounts of eye witnesses. Then we read of West Point’s disciplinary action taken while King was still in the hospital. The disciplinary action was obviously decided on with no investigation, no due process, and no prior contact with Cadet King.

We have the honor of knowing many West Point graduates. We have always been very proud of them and their alma mater. Today we are disgusted and ashamed of the actions taken by West Point administrators. This surely is one of the darkest moments in all of West Point’s history. West Point administrators have permanently stained the reputation of the institution.

We will be calling and writing numerous contacts that we have in and out of the military, and our congressional representatives. It is so sad that a fine young man was viciously attacked and has permanent injuries that may end his military and athletic aspirations. But how does this compare to the injustice that has been done to the institution’s over 200 year old reputation by irresponsible administrators? They are the ones who should know better... they are the ones whose careers should now be ending.

If there are no substantial consequences for those responsible for this travesty... it will be obvious to all that honor is now only given lip service by those currently entrusted with upholding the sacred traditions at West Point. It will be obvious that these individuals think that honor is a concept for students and something that does not apply to themselves. We never thought that we would live to see the day that West Point was run by hypocrites who took their responsibilities so lightly. Shame! Shame!

Sincerely,
