First of all, the tradition of a “pillow fight” at a US service academy is just flat embarrassing. Second, the cadets were filling the pillows with hard objects. Thinks of being beaten with a bag of nickels. Dangerous and not a lot of fun. Third, this isn’t exactly something Patton and Eisenhower were doing. It’s a tradition dating back to only 2001.

The powers that be are basically saying they won’t sanction a “tradition” that involves violent assault. I have no problem with that. “Constitutional rebellion pending?” Really? You enjoy making mountains out of molehills?

Quite honestly, I don’t give a crap. There’s your a #ing molehill.

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

Assault pillows? I guess so...
