1) Morons talking shit about this event need to get smacked in the face with a Kevlar in a pillowcase and show me how tough they are.

2) I still haven’t read anything about them finding the cadet(s) who committed the assaults in the first place. I hope someone burns for such incredibly bad judgment/outright malice.

How about simply banning the ‘additives’ that proved to be the problem.

Some of them decided to go ‘bad boys’ and drop some cans in the cases.

Its the gayest story today. And where it isn’t gay, it reeks of idiots who were 5 years old when 9/11 hit.

They simply do not know how to act like men.

Third, this isn't exactly something Patton and Eisenhower were doing. It's a tradition dating back to only 2001.

That might not be right. Other articles say that the tradition goes back to at least 1897.

They were just following their CinC's lead: "they bring a pillow to a pillow fight, we bring a helmet."

What was that old joke about “not being able to organize a pillow fight”?

They are going to use concussions to take out the NFL.

Already in motion.

when they are ordered not to use ammo or lethal weapons to repel attackers.
