All they had to do was use hotel pillows. Those will knock someone out cold.

And these who post on here are shocked about this?

Fist fights and stuff has been going on there for ages.

But, since this was organized and sanctioned by the administration, there wont be the usual stint on the parade ground for punishment and all that.

Duty, HONOR, Country.

Yes and that is why I would expel the entire class sans the cheaters being turned in.

Our understanding of Physics may change over time,but there is still one true immutable law of the universe:

Playfighting always escalates to real fighting.
