UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY WEST POINT, NEW YORK ^ | 10 May 2016 | Robert L. Caslen, Jr. Lieutenant General, US Army Superintendent

[WENDLE]

But BLACK POWER SALUTES ARE OK? this is crap!

[nascarnation]

The Army women’s b’ball team was 29-3 this season.
So you can see some benefit there....

[Samwell Tarly]

The Honor Code is dead, which means the academy is dead.

Honor itself is dead.

The two individuals in the pic a few posts above, is proof of it.

and we often discuss if the military would ever fire on American citizens.

[Steely Tom]

I'm not that worried.

The Obama Brigades could never handle really destructive weapons, and could be rapidly dispatched simply by leaving bags of weed and munchies alongside any road they were marching on.

Wait a few hours, then it's party time.

The fish rots from the head down.

It is a safe bet that this tribe of Affirmative Action appointees are not members of Oath Keepers.

[King Moonracer]

Yeah well, even antique farm equipment can get the job done.

“The inquiry concluded that the photo was among several taken in the spur-of-the-moment. It was intended
to demonstrate “unity” and “pride,” according to the findings of the inquiry.”

Uhhh, bullsh@t.

Out of line...

Can’t wait to see the pictures of the Class of 2016 on the 21st.

Hats thrown in the air, men kissing men, women kissing women, transgenders kissing everyone..........

At least Moochelle has the cajones to extend her arm. All her partner can do is offer a little “I’m in too” motion.

[VerySadAmerican]

I’m afraid our military could not win against a real foe. It has been de-nutted.

So, how would they feel if they threw up a gang sign? I mean, it wasn’t preplanned, and just done spur of the moment to show team bonding, right?

[Dapper 26]

With as much DISrespect as I can muster, that is a load of horseshit Lt. Gen Caslen. As a former Army Officer and combat wounded veteran, I am ashamed and dismayed at your assertions that the demonstration was NOT preplanned nor set out to make a political statement is a flat out LIE. There will be no service in Duty, Honor and Country for these cadets because they have demonstrated a complete lack of all three. I pity the brave men and women who have to serve under them and I am deeply troubled with what has happened to my Army. The truth is, “This ain’t your father’s Army”.

[lqcincinnatus]

Douglas MacArthur would be proud...

[cincinnati65]

An image search of "raised fist army" reveals ONE picture of a U.S. based armed forces group raising their fist in the bonds of unity. One! Only one!

And it just so happens to be these 16 female cadets from West Point.

"Our military is going to split into factions."

Our military is and always has been a reflection of our society.

Wow!

What are the odds? /s
