Looks to me as though there needs to be a review of how West point, Annaopolis, and Colorado Springs appointments are doled out.
Recreational drug use was a thing way back when I was at West Point in the 80's.
USMA cadets should be held to higher standards, and they should hold themselves to those standards also. Some do, some don't. I was disappointed, and disillusioned, at what I saw some cadets do and get away with.
I truly am surprised to know that.
I graduated high school in the early 70s in El Paso, and smoking weed was almost universal amongst El Pasoans of that generation. I'm not innocent by any means. But still, to go to West Point or Annapoilis and be caught using any illegal substance even then...just shameful IMO. And exponentially more shameful in this day and age.
I can't help but think that there's too much affirmative action and other perversity keeping our very best and brightest out of the military academies. Preference for ANY race is an expression of racism, and I'd bet that we'd not be too surprised to find out who these young ex-cadets are.
