That would have resulted in a pretty fierce ass whooping at the mil school I attended. We took our honor code seriously. We took screwing over your rook buddy even more seriously.

.... but they want bestiality allowed in the UCMJ.... good little rabbits.

The rule of thumb was if something could be stopped or ongoing, to tell about it. If it was a past one time deed that was done, no need to mention it.

Irony is that in the Army there was a double game of making it together or being controled by the DS via his tactics of dividing. Ironically the weak links were playing it but eventually gave up on their own.

I remembered incidents of little groups sneaking under the wire and investigations and no one saying a thing. It was a sort of mission success as to make us a cohesive unit that managed its own responsibilities, but the overseers were a bit upset.

You always had the retard saying he was sleepy and getting everybody do push ups during class.... these were the snitches or selfish idiots that were the target..... good times.

To catch cadets who criticize the administration?

The Military Academies have recruited students, many of whom have no understanding of Honor.

Diversity is the order of the day.

And Diversity makes an Honor Code unworkable, as some of the cadets have no honor.

Radical Transformation at work.

To: ColdOne; Texas resident
" urged informants to deceive classmates, professors and commanders while gathering information to file secret reports aimed at exposing wrongdoing at the Air Force Academy,"

Informant Eric Thomas: "“It was exciting. And it was effective...It was like a spy movie,”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

No doubt he was psychologically profiled before he was chosen for the gestapo squad.

I doubt the CiC has limited this perversity, which has nothing to do with the Honor Code, to the AFA.

Texas resident (post12): "That’ll really hurt unit cohesion. Everyone will be suspicious of everyone else. Sounds like the old USSR’s use of political officers in their military units."

Break the bonds...

I agree. I knew a great young man who wanted to get into the AFA. He was having a hard time working with the congressional offices although he met the requirements. I put him in contact with an old friend who was a recruiting liaison officer on the west coast. He actually discouraged the academy and said it was a “weird” place. I was stunned. He gave him some other advise on a Air Force career that would also pay for college. No regrets from the young man and now having the time of his life in the USAF.

Diversity has nothing to do with honor or morals.

They are bringing in people without honor or morals and then pitting them against each other.

Out here in the civilian world, that’s called “entrapment.”

In other news the Air Force has announced a new warfare specialty, the Political Officer.

We will not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate those among us who do.

Yes, it is that simple.

What is it about "...nor tolerate those among us who do" that is so hard to understand. Some of the comments on this Post seem to imply that a "snitch" is worse that the liar, cheat or thief they reported. That attitude is the Code of the Ghetto. Code of the corrupt police department.

Honor & truth ALWAYS trump "loyalty".

Any time ones allegiances are primarily to an individual or individuals rather than to principles then corruption, despotism and tyranny will follow.

My friends are friends to me, right or wrong, but a true friend will hold me to higher standards than a mere sycophant.

Integrity is foundational. Otherwise we're all just a bunch of liberal Democrats.

Eventually the military will established a “Political Officer Corps” like the Soviets did. This was featured in the movie “The Hunt for Red October”.
