I expected this. That there is no disciplinary action disappoints me.

No one should find this surprising. Obamas military is a direct reflection of the civilian youth population. There is no longer any differentiation.


Army times showed they were teaching classes to enlisted soldiers on the perils of white privilege not too long ago. Im glad I served when I did. Drill Sgts would probably go to jail this day in age for what they did back in the day.

I am interested to see how the hijab denial will be handled after this investigation has been announced.

Are you surprised? No doubt what their intentions were.

Had a group of anglo cadets done the same thing with a nazi salute they would not have gotten off so easy.

I certainly lost some respect for the academy. I really hoped they were above this sorta crap.
